Allegion, a provider of security products and solutions, and Sielox collaborate to improve perimeter security in K-12 schools. Sielox is the first to integrate with Allegion’s Von Duprin Remote Undogging (RU) and Remote Monitoring (RM) options, expanding the reach of electronic access control. These latest Von Duprin solutions were created in response to a need for enhanced perimeter security in educational facilities.
In many K-12 schools, a majority of security funds are focussed on the front entrance, leaving secondary openings vulnerable. Without electronic access control, these openings may be left unlocked or propped open, compromising security and limiting a school’s ability to effectively lockdown the facility in response to an emergency. It’s recommended that schools implement a layered security approach as a best practice. Layered security works from the outside in to protect critical assets, with perimeter security being one of the layers.
