SARGENT's Newest Innovations


SARGENT is proud to announce the Exit Device Security Shim Kit!

Building owners today are responsible for maintaining security without compromising life safety - a challenge when using exit devices on full glass exterior doors. The gap between the glass and the exit device can be an area of vulnerability that can compromise safety and security.

The SARGENT 541 Exit Device Security Shim Kit fills the gap between the exit device and the glass creating a flush surface. This kit can be easily trimmed and installed to accommodate most doorstyles without removing the push rail exit device.

This responds to the increasing need for improved building security while maintaining the facility's aesthetic design. 

SARGENT Introduces a Security SideLite Solution!

The SARGENT SSL1 Security SideLite Spring Latch is perfect for those applications that require a security panel. It is a spring-loaded latchbolt retracted by a thumb turn on one side, with no operation on the other.

SARGENT Introduces Beacon!

Beacon™ Safe Egress You Can See, Hear & Trust

SARGENT introduces Beacon™, a next generation exit device that creates a clearer pathway to safety during an emergency. It’s the newest addition to the ASSA ABLOY LiteGuide™ family of products.

MORE THAN AN EXIT DEVICE
The combination of audible and visible alerts built into the exit device makes Beacon unique – and effective. connected to the building’s alarm system, when activated Beacon emits a pulse of light and white noise followed by an audible message declaring “exit located here.” A laser light beamed from the exit device forms an arrow shape pointing directly to the illuminated touch bar – allowing occupants to locate the exit and get out quickly.

A LIFE-SAFETY INNOVATION
In your ongoing efforts to ensure safety in your buildings, count on Beacon as an important tool during emergency evacuations. Beacon makes the opening highly noticeable for all occupants, including those who are hearing- or sight-impaired.

Day Light Savings Time Change!

IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED!

Since 1966, most of the United States has observed Daylight Saving Time (DST) from 2:00 a.m. on the first Sunday of April to 2:00 a.m. on the last Sunday of October. As you know, during DST, clocks are turned forward one hour, effectively moving an hour of daylight from the morning to the evening.On August 8, 2005, President George W. Bush signed the Energy Policy Act of 2005. This Act changed the time change dates for Daylight Savings Time in the U.S.

In 2006, Daylight Savings Time began on April 2nd and ended on October 29th, but in 2007, Daylight Savings Time will begin on March 11th and end on November 4th. It is important to note that access control systems that are programmed for prior years will need to be reconfigured to operate properly in 2007.

IMPORTANT: Failure to comply with SARGENT’s procedures could result in improper functionality of your lock(s) as related to time-keeping ability and securing openings at specified times of the day.

For SARGENT, the Daylight Savings Time change will affect the following stand-alone
access control products:

Software

  • SARGENT SofLink 1.0 Software
  • SARGENT SofLink Plus 1.0 through SofLink Plus 5.0 Software

Software users with the following existing hardware

  • SARGENT Profile Series v.G1 and v.G1.5
  • SARGENT 4293 Wall Proximity Reader and Keypad
  • SARGENT Low Profile Series
  • SARGENT KU

Time Zones

  • SARGENT programmable locks using Time Zones
    •  Standard
    •  Auto Unlock
    •  First-In Auto Unlock
  • SARGENT programmable locks using 24 Hour Time Zones with Audit Trail/Transaction log functions being utilized

To accomodate the following DST Changes, please see the Product Bulletin & Frequently Asked Questions documents.
