EcoFlex electrified mortise locks, available from ASSA ABLOY Group brands Corbin Russwin and SARGENT, offer a remarkable 96 percent reduction in energy usage compared to standard electrified mortise locks. The lock is ideal for electronic access control applications whether it’s used as a basic electrified lock in conjunction with a wall reader or in an integrated hard-wired lock.
EcoPower, from ASSA ABLOY Group brand Securitron, is a highly efficient power supply designed to work with low-power electrified locks. This small, 4” cube access control power supply reduces standby power consumption to only 8.5mW (0.0085W), a 99% decrease compared to current linear and switching power supplies.
When used together, the EcoFlex and EcoPower solution is GreenCircle® Certified to reduce power consumption up to 99% in both fail-safe and fail-secure applications, from up to 20W to 0.3W. This energy efficient solution offers a cost-effective alternative to traditional solutions.

Environmental Product Declarations
Three ASSA ABLOY Group brands, Adams Rite, HES and Securitron, have released seven Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for the following products: Adams Rite MS1850S Series MS (maximum security) deadbolts, HES 1006 and 9600 Series electric strikes, the Securitron M32 and M62 Magnalocks, and Securitron’s entire AQD6 Series of Switching Power Supplies, with additional designation for the AQD6. ASSA ABLOY is the only company to release EPDs in the power supply, maglock, electric strike and deadbolt categories.
An important aspect of an EPD is to provide the basis of a fair comparison of products by their environmental performance. An EPD tells the lifecycle story of a product in a single, written report, focusing on information about a product’s environmental impact, such as global warming, ozone depletion, water pollution, ozone creation, and greenhouse gas emissions and helps to promote transparency regarding product development.
“All of us at ASSA ABLOY are incredibly proud of the accomplishment represented by these seven EPDs,” said Scott Baker, President, ASSA ABLOY EMS & OEM Group. “We invest deeply in every single product we develop in order to provide our customers with an unprecedented level of value. Today, the designations we’ve announced make the deadbolts, electric strikes and Magnalocks the clear and optimal choice for new construction. These products will contribute to earning points toward LEED certifications today and will help meet the requirements for green building codes in the future.”
The declarations announced Oct. 21 were conferred by two organizations, The Institute Construction and Environment (IBU) and UL Environmental (ULE). IBU is an industry-wide association with an international focus that runs programs to procure product declarations. Environmental product labels were created in collaboration with construction and environment authorities in Germany and in accordance with international standardization processes. ULE is a business unit of Underwriters Laboratory (UL) and a premier global independent safety science company. With a focus on the Americas, ULE develops EPDs that are compliant with ISO-14025, an environmental management tool that provides labeling that is intended to educate consumers about the environmental character of a product or service.

Command Access Goes Green
The new Command Access CP300 provides a new option for solenoid latch-pullback installations.
It is designed to take advantage of continuous power sources of 12-30VDC that provides as little as 500mA of current. Built in surge protection eliminates the risk to 500mA power sources. Power is stored and then released when the unit is triggered via trigger wires.
This brand new product is ideal for POE applications where the power available for locking hardware is limited. Or utilize it when installing a solenoid driven exit device paired with an auto-operator. You’ll be able to use the auto-operator’s power tap instead of buying that additional power supply.

PowerPlex: No Power Source Needed
PowerPlex Locks from Kaba are self-powered electronic locks that do not require batteries or other power sources. The lock generates its own power with every turn of the lever, making it the most efficient and versatile electronic lockset available with virtually no maintenance costs. And, PowerPlex Locks require no wiring to or through the door, eliminating the risk of damage from pinched wires that can result in costly callbacks.
Kaba’s patented PowerStar™ technology supplies power for all electronic lock functions including programming users at the keypad without ever having to change batteries. Once the first digit of a valid code is entered to “wake up” the lock, the remainder of the code can be entered and access is granted. A full charge of the built-in super capacitors will last up to 10 weeks with no activity at the lock.
The PowerPlex electronic pushbutton lock eliminates problems and costs associated with issuing, controlling, and collecting keys and cards. Provides exterior access by PIN code, while allowing free egress. The lock is ideal for small to mid-sized facilities, rarely visited remote locations, retail "Employees Only" areas and military facilities.
