Paired with an auto operator, it is a perfect solution for accessible restrooms, hands-free and many other types of entries.

Von Duprin Outdoor Defense: The Outdoor Defense (OUT) option for Von Duprin exit devices is designed to safeguard against moisture, temperature variations, and corrosion in exterior applications. Available for the popular 98/99 Series rim and surface vertical rod exit devices, this option is engineered to protect internal components that are critical to the exit device function.

Zentra: Zentra™ is redefining security with a seamless solution designed to solve the everyday problems of multifamily property access. Property owners and managers can run operations efficiently on one single access system, while providing their residents with a seamless security solution across the property.

New ND Series Keyed Privacy Indication Trim Options: Following the 2024 introduction of Schlage’s best-in-class indication trims for mortise, cylindrical and deadbolt locks, Grade 1 cylindrical ND Series is now expanding the indication offering. Five new exterior indication options all feature keyed unlocking and the same large, 180-degree window visibility that sets these trims apart. This release also includes indication trim options for two popular entrance functions that can be applied on either the inside or the outside of the entry.

Overtur: Overtur™ is a cloud-based solution from Allegion that enables project teams to work together on the design, construction and management of door security and openings from any location. It offers a central hub to store, update and verify door hardware specifications and choices, with seamless integration with leading industry tools.
