A major supplier of security, hardware packages, and access control systems to hotels worldwide, Allegion exhibited products from its CISA brand. Visitors to Stand 204 found out more about the latest access control solutions designed specifically for the hospitality industry, with the CISA eSIGNO portfolio including hotel contactless locks, electronic cylinders, energy savers, safes and minibars. There was also the chance to view samples of the new ‘Elegance’ door handle and colour variants which have recently been added to the range which was well received by guests to the stand. The new CISA eSIGNO web software which enables hotel staff to quickly and efficiently manage all check-in and lock requirements was also on show. The wireless technology is controlled through one easy to use functional display which is also NFC enabled. Paul Taylor, UK Sales Leader at Allegion commented: “The show was an ideal chance to showcase our hospitality-specific technology under the CISA brand that provide bespoke solutions for boutique hoteliers. The introduction of our new handle plates including a vintage version enables a failsafe security solution to be tailored to match the style of each individual hotel. “CISA locks are operated by holding the card up to the reader to utilise contactless technology, which minimises that wear and tear associated with manual locks which can prove to be costly for independent hotels. With the hotel market showing signs of recovery, now is the time to safeguard against threats with improved security levels and we shared simple, stylish and cost effective ways to upgrade security with hotel owners and end users at the show.” With its elegant and compact Italian design, CISA eSIGNO Contactless Locks require no wiring or invasive work on the door, ensuring a simple installation whether on new projects or upgrading of an existing system. Also available based on an ANSI mortise lock from Schlage, retrofitting CISA solutions is simple as no additional door preparation for the lock is required. To enable security to be tailored for each individual hotel and also different areas within a hotel, CISA eSIGNO is now available in a manual lock, latch bolt and panic bar versions.
