Electronic Locks Protect Access Control Investment
New AD-Series Locks Provide Cure-All for Healthcare Facility
Flexibility, Adaptability and & Scalability
First Showings at ASIS and DHI Expositions This Month
CARMEL, IND. -- September 8, 2009 - Ingersoll Rand Security Technologies today announced that security professionals in healthcare applications can now choose the specific electronic lock they need with full confidence that it can be later upgraded without ever taking it off the door. The new Schlage AD-Series of electronic locks provides options to truly customize the access control solution, quickly migrate to future needs, and provide seamless integration with present software now and later with a lower cost of ownership. The new locks will be introduced at the Door & Hardware Institute Exposition September 16-17 in Kissimmee, Fla., and at the ASIS Exposition in Anaheim, Calif., September 21-23.
"Regardless of the facility, from large hospitals with complex demands to a small clinic with only a few openings, the modular nature of this ground-breaking series of electronic locks, the AD-Series locks let providers customize the level of security needed at each door with a large selection of credentials and networking options," emphasizes Matt Conrad, Ingersoll Rand Security Technologies director, healthcare market. "While protecting people in their facilities is today's most important security priority, the AD-Series electronic locks also protect the provider's investment. It is easy to add more locks or change credentials, networking options or software without replacing the locks. Upgrades can be as simple as interchanging a module."
Administrators can configure the new Schlage AD-Series locks to create a custom fit. Components that are traditionally located around the door have been integrated into the lock itself to yield a smarter solution and more value for the investment. For instance, the locks provide multiple interchangeable credential reader modules as well as interchangeable offline, wired and wireless networking options so that access control can now be installed at doors where it had been previously unfeasible. The new AD-Series electronic locks are compatible with all popular master key systems and exit devices, provide a host of power and cylinder options, offer field configurable settings and include a wide variety of finishes and levers, including an antimicrobial coating that reduces the spread of bacteria.
As a result, healthcare providers can leverage AD-Series locks to adapt to evolving security plans and processes while better managing cost reduction strategies. They can control disruptions during installation by deploying the wireless networking option. Control and audit access to security sensitive information, assets and departments can be assured by providing varying levels of access control at different openings. A common credential strategy can be implemented throughout the facility.
"Security needs change over time as does technology," adds Conrad. "With the AD-Series, healthcare providers can deploy an adaptable access control solution today while being ready for whatever the future holds."
The modular design of the new Schlage AD-Series lets users adapt to new technologies easily, whether changing credential technologies or networking capabilities. Without replacing the lock, or even taking it off the door, users can upgrade readers and network modules to go from an offline to networked solution, change the credentials they are using at any time and use future innovative technologies as they emerge. With its open architecture platform, the AD-Series integrates with Schlage or third party software and is able to leverage existing network infrastructure.
"Before the new Schlage AD-Series, many users often held off on implementing a new security platform because they were worried that it would be obsolete within a few years," observes Conrad. "The features that make the AD-Series flexible and adaptable also make them scalable, protecting a user's investment for years to come."
With the AD-Series, there is no need to outfit the entire facility at once. Users can start small and add more openings as budgets permit. They can also choose which openings should be offline or networked, managing both types of locks with the same software. As a result, a facility can have more locks on more doors to increase security, move more offline doors to a network solution and budget as needs dictate.
.
With the AD-Series, administrators can lockdown the entire facility according to their security management plan. The new locks meet all ANSI/BHMA A156.25 Grade 1 requirements and are UL listed, including UL294. With a variety of finishes, including an antimicrobial coating, and levers, the AD-Series locks complement any environment.
The new Schlage AD-Series electronic locks begin shipping in December. More information on them is available at www.schlage.com/ad-series.
