Walk into any hospital, mall, or school today, and you are bound to see a Trilogy electronic pushbutton lock.  School administrators, hospital security directors, and facility managers around the country rely more and more on Trilogy locks because these products are known for their dependability as a stand alone access control solution.  Alarm Lock’s new Grade 1 BHMA certified and ADA compliant Trilogy PDL4100IC lock is fast becoming the preferred model for restricting access at many areas throughout these properties.

Trilogy Locks Help Hospitals Minimize Loss & Guarantee Privacy

Capable of authenticating entry by PIN only, card only, or for highest security, PIN card, healthcare facilities find the Trilogy PDL4100IC to meet HIPAA regulations for the protection of hospital equipment, patient files, and staff records.  The medical record closets, medication storage areas, and restricted areas which in the past were vulnerable to theft or fraud because of keys and left open doors are now safeguarded with Trilogy’s time-automated locking, and date and time audit trail reports.  Equipped with a privacy button on the back of the lock, the Trilogy PDL4100IC also allows nurses, doctors, and other hospital employees to lockout unauthorized users and feel more secure when they’re in the staff dressing rooms, sleeping rooms, file rooms, or single occupancy restrooms.  This way the privacy of the staff member is ensured.  PIN, or PIN/Prox access doesn’t resume until the privacy session is deactivated, the door is opened from the inside, or the session expires following a pre-programmed schedule.

Schools Pass the Test on Classroom Safety with Trilogy Locks

At today’s schools, there is increasing pressure from parents and teachers to better secure the classrooms.  With vandalism and shootings at the forefront of concerns for campuses, it is imperative to invest in a professional, field tested, and easy to use access control lock on the classroom, and multi-purpose room doors, as well as other area doors throughout the school to protect faculty, the students, and school personnel.  The PDL4100 provides the extra security needed to possibly thwart an attack, or give the authorities precious additional seconds to arrive on the scene.  Without having to open the door, and without any special training or knowledge, a student/teacher of any age can quickly press the fingertip activated lockout button on the interior side of the door to lockout all unauthorized users.  What this does is disables the lock’s free passage mode (even when lock is scheduled for ‘free passage’), and disables general user’s PIN/card from gaining access.  This can buy time in a crisis by making it several steps more difficult for someone to get into the classroom.  When the trouble has passed, a lockdown-override code may be used to re-enable authorized staff to bypass the lockdown function at anytime.  Master and management code/card holders with command (11) rights always have instant access to a Trilogy protected space, and is why we recommend limiting this right to an exclusive few individuals.  The lockdown override command sequence is also helpful in the event a student accidentally presses the lockout button.
