TUESDAY
The Allegion 101 series was designed for people who are new to the industry, new to the Allegion family of brands, or just want to learn more about hardware. If you know of someone who has just started their career in the door and hardware industry, or maybe someone in another role who could begin learning more about the technical / product side of things, set them up with this course!
Allegion 101 | Secure the Door – Schlage
Tuesday, August 3rd, 1:00pm – 2:00pm Eastern
In this session, we will focus on the Schlage ND Series cylindrical locks and the Schlage L Series mortise locks. Become familiar with common lock functions and the openings on which they are used. Learn how to interpret Schlage model numbers/nomenclature so you can make sense of documents (e.g., order acknowledgements, price lists, etc.) and literature (e.g., catalogs, sell sheets, etc.). Gordon Malczewski, our Schlage Senior Trainer, will lead this webinar.
You can register for Allegion 101 classes using the links on the Allegion Virtual Events Calendar. If you miss a class, the recordings are on the Event Board of the Allegion Training Page.

WEDNESDAY
Our national trainers continue their Webinar Wednesday series!
Wednesday, August 4th (all times are EDT)
- 10:00-11:00am: Delayed Egress
- One of the golden rules in door hardware is that a lock should never impede egress, but there are specific situations where locking hardware is allowed to do so. In this presentation we will review “Delayed Egress,” a special code-regulated application that inhibits immediate passage through a door opening. We will explain what different codes say about this function with emphasis on where it can and cannot be used. We will give an overview of two of the most commonly used products to achieve delayed egress along with additional resources for more detailed requirements. John Dalrymple, AHC, and our End User Training Manager, will lead this discussion.
- 12:00-1:00pm: Schlage and Von Duprin Power Supplies
- Are you responsible for selecting, ordering, or advising others on the right power supply for electrified openings? In this session, learn about the Schlage and Von Duprin power supplies and when to use each. You will also become familiar with the seven different option boards and the appropriate applications for those boards. Jeff Tock, our End User Training Manager, will lead this session.
- 2:00-3:00pm: Basic Hardware: Keying, Locks, and Exit Devices
- If you are new to the world of door hardware, this event is for you. Gordon Malczewski, our Schlage Training Manager, will address lock functions and their applications and the basics of panic and fire exit hardware. He will introduce you to key systems.
- 4:00-5:00pm: Steelcraft Door & Frame Construction and Application
- New to hollow metal doors & frames? Join us to learn about Steelcraft door types, such as full flush, steel stiffened, temperature rise, and style and rail doors. You will also learn the difference between masonry and dry wall frames, including some application and installation considerations. Leon Starks, Steelcraft Training Manager, will lead this session.

THURSDAY
Door Drills | Maintenance Tips for Your Von Duprin Exit Hardware, Featuring the 98/99 Series
Thursday, August 5th, 10:00-11:00 a.m. and 2:00-3:00 p.m. EDT
Are you responsible in whole or part for keeping the doors at your facility in good working order? If so, our Door Drills series is for you.
Because the Von Duprin exit device is designed and built to last, with just a little care and attention and perhaps with the occasional addition of an optional feature, the exit device will perform its essential life safety role well for many years. Attend this session as we address such service items as checking for proper mounting and lubrication, device settings that determine the trim locking/unlocking operation, replacing the shear pin on the lever trim, adding cylinder dogging, adding an alarm kit, etc.

QQ in a commercial setting, do rest room doors that the occupant locks, need to open in one motion? i.e. kwikset with the turn button lock. I know they use it because, a) it is cheep, and b) you can’t lock the door behind you

Hi Joe –
Yes, technically even a single occupant restroom needs single-motion egress. In NFPA 101 there is an exception for existing rooms with an occupant load of 3 or less, but there isn’t a similar exception in the I-codes.
– Lori
it’s not for me. this ts what i saw at the eye dr’s
So In regard to Joe’s question, I have two single occupancy bathrooms that are having LCN auto operators installed with touchless wave actuators, for privacy, we are installing the Schlage B571 deadbolt, because if anyone waves at the switch, the door will release and open. So now I am now questioning this install, what would you recommend in this sitution?
Hi Jack –
I have seen different ways of deactivating the exterior actuator when someone locks the door after entering the restroom. Does the door currently have latching hardware, and if yes, does that need to remain?
