This process involves upgrading existing Von Duprin 98/99 series exit devices with the Schlage IN100 series wireless access control system and an EK1 retrofit kit. The upgrade allows for enhanced security and access management capabilities on mechanical exit devices. For example, a business might implement this retrofit to remotely manage door access and track entry events on doors previously only accessible via mechanical key.
The implementation of this upgrade offers several benefits, including improved security through audit trails and remote locking/unlocking capabilities. It also provides cost savings by leveraging existing door hardware and reducing the need for re-keying. Historically, businesses relied on physical keys and manual tracking, which presented security risks and logistical challenges. This retrofit offers a modern solution to these problems, offering a more controlled and efficient access management system.
