CARMEL, IND. (April 19, 2018) – Allegion™, a leading provider of security products and solutions, won the Judge’s Choice Award during the 2018 Security Industry Association (SIA) New Product Showcase. The prestigious award was presented to Allegion for its Von Duprin® Remote Undogging and Remote Monitoring options during the International Security Conference and Exposition (ISC West) in Las Vegas.
“The Judge’s Choice award is truly an honor,” said Yong Lacy, Allegion category leader, openings. “Protecting the safety and security of students and faculty has always been a priority for Allegion, and this latest innovation confirms that dedication. We thank SIA for recognizing the importance of this product and the need for enhanced perimeter security, especially in K-12 facilities.”
These latest Von Duprin solutions were designed to enhance perimeter security in K-12 facilities by enabling remote undogging for centralized lockdown and door status monitoring. The retrofitable solutions expand the reach of the electronic access control system to secondary openings that traditionally would go unaddressed because of the cost and complexity of running wires. 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.
“The SIA New Product Showcase challenges our industry’s solutions developers to create and deliver exceptional security offerings, and this year we saw many new entrants competing in the showcase,” said SIA CEO Don Erickson. “It’s always a highly competitive program, and I congratulate Allegion for distinguishing itself.”
Since its inception in 1979, SIA New Product Showcase has been the security industry's premier awards-based marketing program. This year's New Product Showcase received 122 entries from small, medium and large companies in the security industry. This number set a record for entrants in recent years.
The SIA New Product Showcase judges presented awards in 29 product and service categories. The full list of SIA New Product Showcase award winners is available here.
