Interior Doors at North DakotaBobcat Sales & Rental Shop

IR Security & Safety's Electronic Control Systems (ECS) today announced that Swanston Equipment is using its Schlage Computer- Managed (CM) locks to secure 16 exterior and interior doors at its new 36,000-square-foot Bobcat heavy equipment sales and rental facility in Fargo, N.D.

Schlage CM standalone locking products provide features found traditionally with online, networked systems. Whatever the credential used, a user-friendly software programs the locks, access trim, and offline hard-wired controllers, which manage strikes and magnets, from a laptop or PDA. New users, access points and access privileges can be entered into the system in seconds. They also provide an audit trail capability.

"We think it's a very good system," explains Mike Swanston, owner of Swanston Equipment Companies. "We also sell Ingersoll-Rand products and we stand behind them ourselves."
