Delivering a better visitor experience

Every commercial setting has multiple areas where quickly knowing the status of a door is important—from restrooms, nursing rooms, and dressing rooms to meeting rooms, meditation spaces, and treatment rooms.

We’ve all been there: Is that door locked or open? Rattling the handle is both daunting for the person wanting to get in and nerve-wracking for the person already inside. In short, it’s not a great experience for anyone. Fortunately, there’s a better way—a status indicator lock.

The status indicator advantage

Status indicator locks enable everyone to see at a glance whether a door is locked or not. They enhance privacy, security, hygiene, and accessibility for visitors with a wide variety of needs. And happier guests will visit more often and enjoy the experience more when they do.

Fast, easy, simple

Today, making the move to modern status indicator locks is easier than ever. You can install them as a value add in place of standard cylindrical locks, deadbolts, or mortise locks in new builds. Or for existing facilities, you can upgrade existing locks with easy-to-install products and retrofit kits.

In this guide, we’ll help you show your customers why status indicators offer a simply better visitor experience.

Easy to upgrade, easy to manage, easy to love

No customer wants the downtime and hassle associated with making changes to individual door openings. The idea of rooms being out of commission can be a real barrier to delivering a better visitor experience.

The good news is that status indicator locks from ASSA ABLOY ACCENTRA™ are designed to be fast to install, simple to operate, and easy to manage. Replacement locks use existing fittings and formats, so installation takes just minutes. Locks are also non-handed so you don’t have to determine how a door opens before ordering the right product. The result? You can upgrade your customers fast.

Not just for new locks

Not everyone wants to replace an existing lock. That’s why we also offer mortise lock retrofit kits compatible with non-indicator locks from other manufacturers. It means you can often upgrade a door without removing the existing lock. And your customers get all the benefits with less hassle and lower costs. Easy to fit and the lowest possible hassle for your customers—what’s not to love?
