Primus Flexibility

Unlike many other brands of high security cylinders, Schlage can easily integrate Primus UL 437 Listed cylinders, Primus Controlled Access cylinders, and Schlage conventional cylinders all into the same key system, and this happens with no adverse affects on keying capacity!

Primus keys will operate conventional cylinders but conventional keys will not operate Primus cylinders. You can secure exterior doors and sensitive areas with Primus cylinders and use conventional cylinders on the remaining doors. This cuts the cost of the overall job.

Security can be tailored to meet the exact needs of each door without sacrificing the convenience of having a single building master key.

Performance Features

The Schlage Primus High Security cylinder is precision built to extremely close tolerances and the highest standards of quality. These “dual-locking” cylinders consist of two independent locking mechanisms, operated by a single specially designed Primus key. In addition to a standard 6 pin tumbler mechanism there is a locking sidebar which is independently controlled by a set of 5 fingerpins that interface with the side bitting on the patented Primus key.

Primus cylinders are offered in two different versions. The 20-500 High Security series which is UL Listed and the 20-700 Controlled Access series which offers the same key control protection when UL Listed cylinders are not necessary. Both series are fully compatible in application and can be combined into the same master key system, along with other Schlage conventional cylinders. For added flexibility, all Primus cylinders can be retrofitted into existing Schlage locks as well as many competitive products.

Schlage cylinders, keys, and key control systems represent a cornerstone in modern security technology, providing robust access control solutions for residential and commercial applications. These systems are designed to ensure that only authorized individuals can gain entry, thereby enhancing the safety and security of properties.

One of the main features of Schlage cylinders is their advanced locking mechanism. Schlage uses high-security grade materials that resist picking and bumping, common methods employed by intruders. Their locks are tested to meet rigorous industry standards, providing peace of mind for users. Additionally, Schlage offers a range of cylinder types, including standard pin tumbler cylinders, high-security cylinders, and interchangeable core systems, allowing users to choose the level of security that best meets their needs.

In terms of technology, Schlage is a pioneer in integrating smart technology with traditional locking systems. Their electronic locks come with features such as keyless entry, Bluetooth connectivity, and mobile app control, allowing for remote access and management. This means that users can unlock their doors using smartphones, granting access to guests or service personnel without the need for physical keys. Schlage also provides solutions with built-in alarms, which can alert users to unauthorized entry attempts.

Another critical characteristic of Schlage systems is their key control capabilities. Schlage offers patented key control solutions that restrict unauthorized duplication of keys. Users can order keys that are exclusive to their specific lock configuration, preventing any duplication at hardware stores. This feature is particularly crucial for businesses and organizations that require strict access control measures to protect sensitive information and assets.

Moreover, Schlage's commitment to innovation is evident in its continuous development of new products that meet the evolving needs of security. Their integration of smart home technology into existing security frameworks demonstrates a forward-thinking approach that combines convenience with safety.
