February 3, 2003—Los Robles Regional Medical Center, in Thousand Oaks, Calif., has chosen Schlage CM Series programmable locks—produced by IR Security & Safety—to secure supplies. Using the standalone access control locking system, nurses access supplies by entering individual access codes. No keys are needed to open the battery-operated locksets.
The CM series of locks retrofit over existing door holes and preparation. They also offer easy upgrade to HID proximity cards, iButtons, magnetic stripe cards, and biometric handreaders.
The system allows administrators to give each user his/her own credential, assign time dependent access privileges if desired, and even download audits by simply connecting a laptop having LockLink software to the CM lock. If something happens, administrators can attach a laptop or handheld PDA to the lock and download the last one thousand events. This will allow the medical center to keep close track of who went into any specific location and at what time.
