Everest 29™ Patent-Protected through 2029
Schlage’s Everest 29 is the new patent-protected key system from Ingersoll Rand Security Technologies, providing users with the higher level of restricted key system security with patent protection through 2029. These new keys and cylinders overlap with patent protection of current Everest locks, allowing users to implement a phased migration to Everest 29 key system
Patented key systems prevent the unauthorized duplication of keys. Restricted key systems offer a higher level of key control by limiting their distribution and requiring, at a minimum, a letter of authorization from the end user to process orders for keys, blanks and cylinders. The patented designs of Everest 29 and Everest 29 Primus XP keyways prevent others from manufacturing or distributing these key blanks, ensuring the integrity of the customer’s system at every opening. By doing this, the Everest 29 key system assures an end-user confidence that their key system will have protection from unauthorized key duplication for the next 17 years.
“For more than 20 years, Schlage has delivered patented key systems that provide the appropriate level of security and key control necessary at every door,” emphasized Monte Salway, commercial key systems product manager at Ingersoll Rand Security Technologies. “Everest 29 is the next generation of patent protection from Schlage, and allows end users to implement a phased upgrade to their patented key system, giving them more flexibility and time to upgrade.”
The new undercut design of Everest 29 keys is patent-protected through 2029. It is also backwards compatible with current Everest cylinders, providing users the convenience of time to implement a phased migration to the Everest 29 key system while maintaining key control during the transition. Everest 29 keyways will also be available with Primus and Primus XP features as well as provide a small format interchangeable core (SFIC) keyway option.

Steelcraft® Doors Team With Von Duprin® Concealed Vertical Cable System
A new Steelcraft door solution includes the Von Duprin Concealed Vertical Cable System factory installed in an L-Series door. This new system eliminates the frustrations that both installers and end users have continuously faced with exit devices using traditional vertical rod systems and is an offering that can be ordered as a complete opening solution directly from Steelcraft.
By eliminating the trigger mechanism typically found at the top of the frame, the Vertical Cable System significantly reduces the time and maintenance required to make adjustments when compared to installing a traditional vertical rod system. Instead of having to move adjustment screws in and out repeatedly, the user only tightens the screw at the point of attachment to ensure that the Concealed Vertical Cable System is properly installed. Installers can even adjust the height of the bottom latch while the door is hanging.
“Steelcraft channel partners and end user maintenance personnel will appreciate the advantages of ordering a hassle-free door solution that saves time and money,” reported Jeff Necastro, doors and frames product manager at Ingersoll Rand Security Technologies. “This new system also has equivalent fire ratings and, by ordering the new door and cable system together, end users can utilize their existing exit device in aftermarket applications and save on maintenance issues in the future associated with concealed vertical rods.”
Enclosed cable technology has been extensively used on automotive braking and transmission systems, aeronautical prop adjustment and throttle and pitch control systems as well as on recreation vehicles such as bicycles, motorcycles and boats. Steelcraft is the first to bring this proven, durable technology factory installed within the door.
