Built to Federal Specification FF-L-2890C, the Sargent and Greenleaf (S&G) 2890C is designed to meet both security and life safety demands of highly sensitive SCIF environments. Compatible with both GSA Approved combination locks, the S&G 2890C provides the highest level of security to SCIFs used by U.S. agencies, Department of Defense, defense contractor sites, and military bases.

The S&G 2890C Automatic Bolt Retraction (ABR) solution combines life safety with handicapped accessible secure entry when paired with an automatic door operator. The modular design connects with any approved RFID credential reader, making the exit device easy to integrate with existing security components. ABR engages when credentials are approved and RFID signal registers with the exit device – allowing hands-free handicapped access.

• Touchless Access Control when the device is connected to short-or long-range badge readers or
• Other RFID-compatible components.
• No-touch, long-distance, automatic opening when credentials are confirmed at an RFID reader
• Interior panic bar for life safety single-motion egress.
• Five-year limited warranty (when used with the S&G 2740B).

For many people, getting a package delivered from Amazon is painless. However, problems can arise in access-controlled properties such as apartment complexes, condominiums, and businesses. At Easter’s Lock & Security Solutions, we have partnered with Amazon to install Amazon Key for Business at your facility to help alleviate wasted time managing Amazon packages and ensure seamless deliveries. The best part of all? This service is FREE for your property!

Overview

Amazon strives to make its package delivery process quick and easy for customers. However, sometimes an Amazon delivery associate can’t access a building for several reasons:

• The mail room is on a floor accessible only to authorized residents.
• The leasing office or business reception area is closed.
• Elevator access is restricted.

In these scenarios, customers must “buzz” drivers into the building and meet them in the lobby or even outside, which takes coordination on both ends. If the customer is not available, the delivery is even more difficult.

If there’s no safe location to leave the package, the delivery associate tries a re-delivery on a different day. This leads to delivery delays, calls to customer support, reorders, and sometimes many re-attempts before a successful delivery. Ultimately, it results in a poor customer experience.

Solution

To solve this problem, an Amazon team created the Key for Business service, which integrates with a building’s existing access system to grant authorized people temporary access to complete deliveries. This solution doesn’t disrupt tenant access, so residents and business owners can continue to use their existing access method (access card or remote control).

The service involves four steps:

1. A delivery associate uses the Amazon Flex app to request access to a building.
2. The service verifies the delivery associate’s details, along with the building location and time of day.
3. The service grants the delivery associate time-bounded temporary access.
4. The delivery associate delivers the package to the relevant location (such as the lobby or mail room).

Just like the engine in your car, your combination lock is a temperamental mechanical device that can become dirty or worn with continued use. It highly is recommended that all combination locks be serviced every 2-3 years if the lock is used heavily.

The service of a combination lock entails that a safe technician disassembles the wheel pack, cleans the wheels and parts, replaces any worn parts, and lubricates the lock. This periodic servicing of your combination lock will result in a smoother, more reliable combination lock.

When a local military facility known for its weapons testing and medical research needed an access control solution to reach remote buildings, they relied on Easter’s Lock & Security Solutions.

“We were invited to the local Air Force base and asked for an assessment of an access control situation,” notes President/CEO, Robert Easter. “I’ll admit the compound was a bit overwhelming; it sits on over 72,000 acres and has over 2,000 buildings. The facility needed an access control solution at four remote buildings that surrounded the airfield. It was apparent that running wires to the buildings was not even a consideration. The E-Plex Enterprise System provided features and functions that hit all their check boxes, and it did not require expensive trenching, drilling, and running wires,” adds Easter.

“We conducted a site survey to determine how many Gateway/Routers were needed as well as their optimum placement at the airfield,” adds Easter. The Gateway/Router enables two-way communication from an E-Plex Lock or SAC (with wireless antenna kit) to the system’s server. “We installed a dozen E-Plex 5600 Locks among the buildings and installed the computer with Enterprise Software in an administrative building,” says Easter. “Enterprise Software extends access control capabilities of stand-alone locks, which increases security measures at the base,” notes Easter. With Enterprise Software, the system:

• Supports 3,000 users per door
• Offers 16 access schedules and 32 holiday blocks per door
• Maintains 30,000 audit events

“In addition, the Wireless Option provides centralized access control management, meaning all lock and user programming as well as access point monitoring can be accomplished from one workstation,” remarks Easter. “The system administrator has real-time functionality of events, including user access such as the person’s photo, date/time and which door they accessed, as well as emergency lockdown or passage of locks commands. And, at a facility where security is critical, having information and controls at your fingertips makes access control more proactive than reactive.”
