This new feature is another innovative solution combining Sielox core products and our OEM Partner Allegion,” said Karen Evans, President & CEO of Sielox LLC.

“For example at a school, internal classroom doors are scheduled to be unlocked from 7:00am to 3:00pm. However, if a teacher wishes to leave the building for lunch and wants to lock his or her individual classroom, typically the access control operator would need to be notified to manually override the setting, or a second credential would need to be presented to lock and unlock the door.”

Ms. Evans continued, “With Sielox Lock Toggle, the teacher simply presents their credential to the reader, and within five seconds the teacher turns the inside handle twice. The door is now locked. Upon return the teacher presents the card and again turns the inside handle twice. The door is now unlocked and back on schedule.”

Standard standalone wireless locks would require a user to carry another toggle credential, and double present a card or double-swipe to lock or unlock the door.
