pretty useless in our market being dominated by Salto and others. Cylindrical setup only, no euro type keyway profile. It also will not fit doors requiring narrow body which limits it again.

Allegion Releases Engage, Assa Aperio Competitor
Wireless locks are one of the fastest growing segments of access control.
The biggest player in this market today is Assa Abbloy with their Aperio platform.

In this note, based on feedback from Allegion, we break down the features, price, limitations and competitive positioning of this release.
