Since its inception in 1979, SIA NPS has been the security industry’s premier awards-based marketing program. This year’s NPS Program had 122 entries from small, medium and large companies in the security industry. This number set a record for entrants in recent years.

In addition, the prestigious Judges’ Choice Award was presented to Allegion for its Von Duprin Remote Undogging and Monitoring Kit. According to Allegion, the product allows remote undogging (locking) of mechanical exit devices – commonly found on secondary perimeter openings in many institutions.

The Von Duprin RU retrofit kit for exit devices is billed as ‘a cost-effective solution for these secondary openings that enables remote undogging for centralised lock down and door status monitoring.’
