CARMEL, IND.
- August 4, 2010 - Ingersoll Rand Security Technologies today announced that
its new line of Schlage CO-Series standalone locks, which provide enhanced
security and efficiency, will be unveiled at the ALOA Conference, August 1-8,
in Booth #1101. The CO-Series offers a variety of options, allowing locksmiths
and facility management to customize the right solution for a facility. Keypad
only, proximity, magnetic stripe and dual credential plus PIN options are
available. The innovative key-in-lever design also lets users leverage existing
master key systems. Users can control where people go and when by setting
up access rights and schedules in a central database which gets transferred
to the locks using Schlage Utility Software with a handheld device. With some
versions, audit trails can provide visibility as to who accessed a door and
when.
"The
new CO-Series can be used in a variety of applications for convenient offline
access control including schools, healthcare facilities, industrial plants,
commercial buildings, retail outlets, multi-family properties and more,"
explains Karen Keating, Ingersoll Rand Security Technologies, Schlage electronic
locking portfolio marketing manager. "Designed to suite with the most
popular Schlage mechanical options, the CO-Series locks are available in manual
and computer programmable configurations."
There are
three models in the new line. The CO-100 offline lock is manually programmable,
an ideal solution for customers ready to upgrade from mechanical keys to personal
ID codes (PIN) for added security. The CO-200 is computer programmable. User
rights are stored on the lock and can easily be added or deleted at any time.
It also provides an audit trail and is available with a choice of five credential
readers - 12-button keypad, magnetic stripe, magnetic stripe plus PIN, proximity
and proximity plus PIN. The proximity options are compatible with major brands
of 125 kHz proximity credentials.
The CO-250
lock includes all features of the CO-200 except that it stores user rights
directly on a magnetic stripe credential. An economic solution for campus-based
environments and large numbers of users, the CO-250 provides dynamic rights
management on the card without reprogramming each lock.
The mechanical
components of the new CO-Series locks are based on the field-tested design
of Schlage ND and L Series locks, both known for uncompromising security and
outstanding structural strength and durability. With cylindrical, mortise
and mortise deadlock chasses available, users can create the right solution
for any application. Tested to the highest quality and reliability standards,
the new CO-Series locks are ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 certified and UL294 listed.
The key-in
lever design of the CO-Series locks accepts many popular models of SFIC and
FSIC cylinders, making it easy for the new locks to integrate with existing
master key systems. In addition, the CO-Series locks leverage an open platform,
providing users with more choices and freedom from propriety technologies.
The CO-Series locks are also compatible with leading brands of exit trim,
including those from Von Duprin, Falcon, Sargent, Precision 21, Yale, Corbin
Russwin and Dorma. They are backwards compatible with existing Schlage and
Locknetics products. A wide variety of finish and lever options are also available.
The new offline
locks are powered by four AA off-the-shelf batteries and provide two years
of operation with a normal 36,500 cycles per year.
Additional information on CO-Series locks will be available later this month on www.schlage.com.
