The project was coordinated by Schlage Territory Manager John Weikel, and the new locks were installed on administrative offices, classrooms, and janitorial areas throughout the building. Each touch key has its own electronic serial number that cannot be duplicated or compromised, and every lock contains a miniature computer, programmed to accept only the electronic serial numbers determined by the system's administrator. These numbers can be changed quickly and easily, at any time, using a laptop computer. Keys can be added or deletedelectronically whenever needed, unlike traditional re-keying that often times requires locks to be disassembled and cylinders removed. If a touch key is lost, stolen, or cancelled, access for that key can be denied quickly by deleting the key's serial number from the system.
Installation is easy.
You put it all together, and off you go. Just touch the button, and you're in. In service since early 1997, the units have worked well, despite heavy usage. I can track who goes into what areas, which is important if you're experiencing thefts. Also, it helps track the activity of our cleaning crews.
