Allegion is considered a leading innovator in security solutions. Its brands are industry pioneers who have created entire product categories. One such brand is Schlage. Schlage is a leader in engineering, designing, and crafting high-performing security solutions for businesses, apartments, healthcare facilities, and institutions. From traditional mechanical locks to electronic system locks, Schlage provides robust protection for people and property.
Schlage has introduced the visual indication feature in their best-in-class mortise, cylindrical, and deadbolt locks. These visual indication trims offer more than just security; they enhance privacy in sensitive environments like healthcare and other facilities. Some places where Schlage visual indication locks are used include:
Healthcare Facilities
By displaying door status on both sides, these trims allow patients to feel a sense of privacy and control. This ultimately improves patient satisfaction and well-being. Additionally, this can help staff monitor patient location without compromising privacy, providing more efficient and respectful care. Implementing locks with visual indication in restrooms, physician sleeping areas, and on-call rooms significantly elevates the patient experience and overall facility functionality. Schlage's portfolio of visual indication locks offers the largest indication with 180-degree visibility, designed to provide the highest level of care possible in a medical environment.
Educational Settings
The Partner Alliance for Safer Schools (PASS) recommends the use of indication trims for classrooms. In higher education, visual indication trims are widely used for security measures. These locks can also enhance security and privacy in offices, teacher lounges, study halls, libraries, and other gathering places. In addition to standard messages, custom messaging can be created for specialized applications.
Retail
Visual indication trims can be used in retail spaces like restaurant restrooms to maximize customer privacy and experience. They can also be used in retail shops in dressing rooms or rooms requiring temporary closures. Other applications include exterior doors such as service stations, restrooms, or any facility with an exterior entrance to a private room.
Commercial Real Estate
Visual indication trims are used within commercial properties for privacy. They are particularly useful in single-occupancy restrooms and shower rooms. They can be applied to multi-stall restrooms. Additionally, they can be used in meetings or rooms where occupancy is readily visible from outside when desired.
Specialized Uses
Visual indication trims can benefit small and large spaces like churches, factories, airports, arenas, etc. Specialized places include single-occupancy rooms requiring privacy, such as mothers' lactation rooms or family and assisted-use restrooms, and rooms requiring temporary closure or cleaning and maintenance.
Schlage visual trim indicators feature the largest windows, patented 180-degree visibility, and a Grade 1 certification for reliability. They are available in mortise locks, cylindrical locks, and deadbolt locks, as well as on various Von Duprin exit devices. These trims and devices allow passersby to view and assess door status at a glance, eliminating the need to jostle handles and unintentionally disturb the person inside the room.
Visual indicator trims are essential locking hardware that contributes multiple value points to building functionality, security, and safety. These indicators can be crucial in optimizing the physical environment in healthcare, education, retail, and commercial spaces.
