September 20, 2004—IR Security & Safety, which provides electronic access control solutions, announces that California State University Channel Islands is using 200-plus Schlage COBRA and computer managed locking systems to protect students, faculty, and staff and to meet state mandated requirements for information security on the two-year-old campus. The programmable locks were designed to save time and money on rekeying high-traffic doors, offer varying levels of security, and provide an audit trail for sensitive areas.
The Schlage CM stand-alone locking products provide features found traditionally with online networked systems. Whatever the credential used, a user-friendly software programs all, including the locks, access trim, and offline hard-wired controllers, which manage strikes and magnets, from a laptop or PDA. New users, access points, and access privileges can be entered into the system in seconds.
COBRA locks are electronic cylindrical or mortise-style locks that can store up to 100 3- to 8-digit user codes and allow locksmiths to easily add or delete codes in seconds. Until it receives an authorized code, the clutching lever simply gives way, discouraging vandals and others from breaking it to gain entry. Schlage COBRA mortise locks have an architecturally appealing design and are available in five finishes and two ever styles that fit most mortise door preparations with minor modifications. Cover plates are available to cover door preparation left from prior installations.
Recognition Systems, Schlage, and Von Duprin comprise IR Security & Safety’s Electronic Access Control Division (EACD).
