Securing the Perimeter
The right fence and gate system can help create a safe learning environment for your school. Our school security systems include perimeter fences, playground fences, stadium/field fences, security gates and pedestrian egress gates. Gate and fence access control prevents unauthorized personnel from penetrating a school’s campus. Electromagnetic locks, electric strikes and gate locks from ASSA ABLOY Electronic Security Hardware, certified for outdoor use, are designed to leverage existing hardware and make retrofit upgrades easy and efficient.
Optimizing the Building Envelope
The building envelope refers to all exterior openings. It is imperative that all exit doors on a school maintain building security while allowing for free egress from the inside. They must also meet fire and life safety codes, as well as ADA compliance.
ASSA ABLOY offers a variety of exterior door openings for the building envelope to provide superior energy efficiency and protect against violent storms or physical attacks.
Increasing Energy Efficiency
Approximately 40% of all energy leakage comes from the building envelope, which includes exterior doorways. Trio-E doors and thermally broken frames, along with Pemko thermal barrier thresholds, increase thermal retention and reduce energy leakage. In fact, these assemblies are proven to increase energy efficiency – saving up to $120 per opening annually on energy costs.
Power supply selection is often one of the last decisions made when creating an electrified access control solution. However, selecting the right power supply is as important as choosing the right locking devices and accessories that may be connected to it.
Designed to work with low-power electrified access control devices, Securitron EcoPower reduces standby power consumption to only 8.5mW, a 99% energy savings compared to linear and switching power supplies. EcoPower, when paired with a lock like EcoFlex from SARGENT and Corbin Russwin, can also reduce total door power consumption by up to 99%. Additionally, Securitron AQ Series Power Supplies offer clean, efficient and reliable power for high efficiency sustainable locking solutions as well as other applications.
Weathering the Storm
ASSA ABLOY offers a wide range of products that meet local and international building codes and FEMA guidelines related to hurricanes and tornados. Whether it is an exterior opening, a shelter door or storm shutters, ASSA ABLOY provides complete opening assemblies, including doors, frame and hardware tested together as an assembly to protect building occupants.
