The NDE Series is developed specifically for facilities that want to transition to electronic credentials that work with access management software, such as Vanderbilt's lite blue® and bright blue® solutions. The locks are ideal for the small-to-medium-sized enterprise organizations, and are designed for interior office doors, common area doors and sensitive storage spaces.

“Vanderbilt continues to expand the horizon of access control by offering affordable products that don’t compromise on quality and ease of use,” said Kyle Chown, Commercial Division Manager, Chown Security, a Vanderbilt Certified Dealer. “Chown Hardware is proud to be a Vanderbilt partner and looks forward to offering this new product integration, which enhances our ability to bring added value to our customers.”

Vanderbilt’s bright blue® Intelligent Access Management System allows stakeholders to access, monitor and manage their access control systems using any computer with Internet access, while managing up to 32 doors and 5,000 cardholders. bright blue® is ideal for small- to medium-sized businesses that require a reliable, scalable and feature-rich access management solution. The lite blue® Web-based Access Control Solution is designed for small businesses with two to eight doors, and allows for simple system expansion as business needs increase. Both systems are easy to configure and use, and integrate with standalone and networked locks, both wired and wireless.
