High Security

Certain areas call for a specialized approach to controlling access.  Memory care, maternity and infant floors, and mental health units will typically use a card reader like the Schlage MT15 in combination with a Schlage MIFARE® DESFire® EV credential to easily control acess, while still allowing effective traffic flow.

Grade 1 mechanical solutions include ND cylindrical or the L Series mortise locks provide the durability needed to withstand daily abuse. Wireless locks including the NDE and LE Series are often used to secure records rooms, medical supplies and other sensitive areas.    

Equally important is the supporting key system particularly on perimeter entrances. Barriers to key duplication and proper key control along with upgraded physical security in the cylinders is essential. Here, the use of Primus Security Upgrade is recommended.

Electronic Access Control Solutions

For real-time control and visibility of door status, an Electronic Access Control system can be deployed with software from one of our PACS software alliances. Use MT card readers on high security and sensitive openings with Schlage MIFARE® DESFire EV® credentials.

To extend EAC deeper into the building, including offices and supply rooms, upgrade to AD400 or NDE wireless locks.  Already have HID® iCLASS® or Seos® credentials in place?  Choose a model with HID credential support inlcuding NDEBSi, LEBSi  or AD400 with SiK reader.  

Credential Solutions & Services

Electronic access control solutions center around the credential technology. To reduce risk of duplication, look for credentials with enhanced encryption like Schlage MIFARE® DESFire® EV cards and fobs. Choose Custom Artwork to personalize id cards with a logo and colors. For facilities with mixed hardware, talk to one of our electronic experts about Custom Encryption Keys which enables smart credentials to work across devices from multiple manufacturers.

Storm Shelter Solutions

Hospitals in tornado and hurricane prone areas need defined sheltering spaces. The right solution for entries depends on the kind of shelter and level of protection required. Allegion offers a complete range of windstorm solutions from Schlage mechanical and electronic locks to Von Duprin exit devices and the Steelcraft doors they go on.

Schlage hurricane wind and impact locking solutions include cylindrical ALX and ND Series, mortise L Series, electronic wired or wireless AD Series, and wireless Control, LE, or NDE electronic locks. The L Series includes the LM9300 multi-point lock which, when paired with a Steelcraft Paladin door, also meets the stringent FEMA P-361/FEMA P-320/ICC 500 requirements, withstanding 250 mph windspeeds and 15 lb projectile impacts at 100 mph.

Indication Solutions

In hospital settings, use of lock status indication trims are mostly about privacy for patient restrooms, single occupancy restrooms, lactation rooms, physician sleeping/on call rooms, and dressing rooms. Rooms requiring temporary closures may also benefit. And when safety is important, indication can be used on radiology or other therapy room doors as well. Overall, visual lock indication is a critical component of ensuring the safety, security, and privacy of health care settings, helping to protect and respect patients and staff. The innovative visual indicators from Schlage give people a greater feeling of privacy and provide security you can see.
