Vanderbilt, a provider of state-of-the-art security systems, announced the integration of its award-winning lite blue and bright blue access control solutions with Allegion's Schlage NDE Series wireless locks with ENGAGE technology.

Streamlined security solution

The integration between Vanderbilt and Allegion provides joint customers with a cost-effective solution to meet evolving security needs while adding more options for organisations seeking streamlined installation and administration. Integrators will also see increased compatibility between the systems during the installation process.

“Our partnership with Vanderbilt allows both companies to collaborate to deliver solutions that are beneficial to both the reseller channel and our customers,” said Derek Ommert, OEM Channel Manager, Allegion. “We continue to explore new enhancements in wireless access control that deliver greater value, are compatible with a wide range of software platforms and enhance protection of an organisation's employees, customers and assets.”

Electronic access management

The NDE Series is developed specifically for facilities that want to transition to electronic credentials that work with access management software, such as Vanderbilt's lite blue and bright blue solutions. The locks are ideal for the small-to-medium-sized enterprise organisations, and are designed for interior office doors, common area doors and sensitive storage spaces.

“Vanderbilt continues to expand the horizon of access control by offering affordable products that don’t compromise on quality and ease of use”

Easy configuration and integration
