New Vandlgard® Technology Enhances Security and Safety
for High-Abuse Applications
Carmel, IN, December 12, 2006 - Ingersoll Rand Security Technologies, a leading global provider of products and services that make environments safe, secure and productive, today announces the availability of the new Vandlgard® option for its Schlage® L-Series mortise locks. By employing a lock with this vandal-resistant technology, facility managers and maintenance professionals of schools, hospitals, factories and other commercial buildings can enhance security initiatives and gain peace of mind for high-abuse applications.
“While levers offer added grip and easy accessibility, they also create an increased opportunity for abuse or vandalism,” says Yong Lacy, Schlage marketing manager, Ingersoll Rand Security Technologies. “Schlage L-Series locks with the Vandlgard option are ideal for resisting abuse from anyone kicking or standing on levers. The Vandlgard option enables exterior levers to freely rotate down while locked. This proprietary feature prevents damage to internal lock components when subjected to excessive force.”
In addition to purchasing Schlage L-Series mortise locks with the Vandlgard option, facility managers can leverage this new technology by employing an easy-to-install retrofit kit to already installed Schlage L-Series locks.
The Vandlgard option also helps to safeguard the lever trim and the lock’s internal components under the constant abuse that is common in schools, universities, offices, hospitals and commercial buildings. This performance feature helps to minimize regular lockset maintenance and provide facility managers with a strong return on their door hardware investment.
