| DALLAS � Nov. 13, 2007 � VingCard, part of the ASSA ABLOY Hospitality
Group, announced today it has formed partnerships with fellow ASSA ABLOY
brands SARGENT, Yale and Corbin Russwin to pair the world�s best-selling
sectional trim lock, Signature by VingCard, with a selection of each brand�s
distinctive decorative levers, allowing hotels and resorts to achieve hardware
continuity on every door throughout the property.
The Signature by VingCard line of electronic hotel door locks was designed to provide unsurpassed security while remaining unobtrusive to hotel design. Easy-to-use, extremely secure and affordable, Signature became the new electronic-locking system of choice for hotels and resorts across North America within six months of its introduction in 2005, meeting the needs of today�s hoteliers, designers, architects and security professionals alike. By partnering with SARGENT, Yale and Corbin Russwin, VingCard can continue to provide hoteliers with the superior locking technology of Signature, only now the locks can be paired with distinctive, high-performance levers from SARGENT�s Studio Collection, Reflections� by Yale and Corbin Russwin�s Muséo line, allowing hoteliers to achieve door hardware continuity throughout their property. �The smartly-styled levers available from SARGENT, Yale and Corbin Russwin perfectly complement VingCard�s top-of-the-line Signature series,� said Sandra Matheny, product marketing manager of ASSA ABLOY�s designer hardware program. �And best of all, these levers can be installed for aesthetic consistency on access control devices, bathroom privacy locks, communicating door locks, closets and back-of-house exit devices throughout an entire hotel property.� VingCard will initially offer seven levers from each brand, and more designs will be available to customers in 2008.
