“Now leading integrators throughout the nation will have increased access to Schlage proximity readers and credentials, enabling them to provide their customers with the flexibility to use and intermix proximity readers from multiple manufacturers via the Schlage SXF Series,” said George Nortonen, Ingersoll Rand Security Technologies vice president of sales, integrators/business partners. “We look forward to working with PSA Security Network and its many integrators whose customers are demanding access control components with open architectures that integrate with their existing and future systems.”

With the addition of Schlage readers and cards, we have once again added a powerful price performer to the PSA family of security products.”

A joint training program has already begun and customers may order the Schlage SXF Proximity Series through their PSA Security Network affiliated integrators now.
