Stanley Security Solutions recently announce the release of the new D-1610 Series Door Closer. The D-1610 is a slim line closer designed to accommodate the standard aluminum storefront application footprint. The D-1610 series construction incorporates heat treated steel components combined with a durable cast aluminum cylinder body.
Although both products incorporate a common mounting hole pattern, the D-1610 cylinder body and tri-pack arm assembly possess a more robust design and customer driven aesthetic appeal over the previous D-1650 model. The D-1610 series has been certified ANSI/BHMA A156.4 Grade 1, UL10C, and UBC 7-2. Consequently with the launch of the new D-1610, the D-1650 series will be discontinued.
The pinion and piston are constructed of heat treated steel maximizing stability to critical tolerances for reliable performance. Precise machining combined with “non-critical” regulating valves; enables fine-tune hydraulic adjustment of the general sweep, latch and backcheck speeds.
The new D-1610 Series Stanley Door Closer demonstrates Stanley’s continued commitment, as a comprehensive security solutions source, to provide the services and products that meet and exceed customer specific application requirements.

Part of the Best Access Systems® Behavioral Healthcare Solutions Product Portfolio
In a recent blog post, James M. Hunt, AIA, a practicing architect and facility management professional with over 30 years of experience asks the question, “Give Patients The Ability To Lock Themselves Into Their Rooms???”
In the past, giving patients the ability to lock themselves into their room would have been unthinkable. Today, health care facilities are on a continuous mission to find ways to improve patient safety and to minimize risks, particularly in the behavioral healthcare environment. Even when staff members are specifically trained in risk detection, there is always the question…are we doing enough to keep our patients safe?
The Stanley Patient Safety Lever (SPSL) meets the needs of resisting ligature engagement on the lock trim while providing patients and staff with easy-to-operate hardware. The patent-pending design meets the intent of ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) by eliminating the operational requirement “pinch & grasp” motion. The reliable performance and security found within the traditional Best Access Systems products is now available in an anti-ligature design.
In addition to the SPSL Mortise Lock Functions, the new Female Patient Privacy Function locksets are available to the SPSL line of patient safety hardware. This solution was developed to meet the need of providing female patients privacy in their rooms while ensuring their safety. In addition to the ligature-resistant lever, a conical designed, recessed turnpiece has been added to deter suicide attempts. The patent pending turnpiece design reduces the opportunity to use the turnpiece as a ligature point.
Not only does James Hunt reference the SPSL in a recent blog posting, but also in the new edition of the Design Guide for the Built Environment of Behavioral Health Facilities, published by the National Association of Psychiatric Services and is available for download here, Design Guide 5.0 – Feb. 2012.

The Stanley Security Solutions Indianapolis Manufacturing Facility recently achieved two ISO* certifications from
TÜV USA, a globally recognized testing, inspection and certification organization, for its commitment to providing a Quality and Environmental Management System.
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies from 140 countries to promote the development of standardization and facilitate an international exchange of goods and services. Becoming ISO-certified solidifies a division’s commitment to continual improvement in quality and operations processes. ISO certifications leverage success in new markets, address operational efficiencies and significantly increase customer satisfaction levels. Typically, achieving ISO certification for the first time takes approximately two to three years. However, the Stanley Indianapolis Manufacturing Facility received ISO 9001:2008 and 14001:2004 certifications within just 14 months!
ISO 14001 is an internationally recognized standard that enables organizations to maintain a balance between profitability and a healthy environment. It provides the organization with standards to which they should adjust their environment management system (EMS), improves their organization profile and supports the ISO 9001 efforts to increase access to new partners and new customers. The ISO 14001 certification will link the Indianapolis team with large corporations and individuals looking to associate with and support organizations with environmental-friendly practices.
“We see this as the next step in supporting the organization in a global environment. These certifications demonstrate the team’s passion to become more competitive in a global market,” said Duke Brannum, Indianapolis Plant Manager. “The planning, focus and execution of the entire plant to achieve these certifications shows our continued commitment to customer satisfaction.”

It’s hard to believe that Christmas is only days away. As retailers make their final push to meet the goals they set for the year, the forecasts are looking more likely that consumer spending will once again be robust. Along with the increased sales, businesses will inevitably see heavier foot traffic as customers put the finishing touches on their holiday shopping list.
While no business owner in their right mind would pass on the opportunity to open their doors wide to any and all, they do need to be cautious and pay a watchful eye at the growing prospect for theft as store traffic increases. Any business that’s put in place the proper security measures and technology for the holiday rush is set to experience the lasting benefits throughout the year.
Fortunately, it’s never too late to implement many tried and true tactics to manage inventory loss both during and after store hours. Security cameras are one of the most effective tools to both deter criminals and to identify culprits when there is loss due to theft. Additionally, a security guard in uniform at the entrance is a strong signal to any shoplifter that monitoring against crime is a top priority. Businesses may also find that the additional cost of hiring another security guard during busier periods, like the holidays, is well worth the investment.
Outside of store hours, businesses can benefit from the same security measures that are regularly practiced at home. For one, thieves are less likely to target a business that has a professionally installed alarm system. An effective alarm system will not only alert the owner and authorities of a break-in, but it may also go a long way in stopping a forced entry in the first place. Of course, signage needs to be prominently placed in doors and windows that clearly indicate that the premises are alarmed. Lighting can also be a tremendous deterrent. Locations should be lit well enough after business hours, and motion detection lightening should be installed, so that activity inside can easily be seen from someone walking by.
“The technology available to retail businesses is almost unlimited in its application,” said Ray Radis, Stanley CSS Vice President National Accounts – West. “Video analytics can provide store traffic activity details and, while central station monitoring technology allows business owners to know when their store opens/closes and in a critical case, when it fails to open. Real-time video monitoring services enable store employees to safely enter the business at the opening and exit at closing times. Video monitoring audit programs are also available and can be implemented to help business owners ensure that staffing is sufficient at peak hours and marketing signage is in place, all while monitoring general store activity.”
The holidays can be a great opportunity for businesses to end the year on a high note and set the stage for a successful year to come. With the right security strategy in place, retailers can avoid having their potential assets included in the billions of revenue that’s lost due to shoplifting and experience the lasting benefits for customers, employees and the bottom line.
If you’re looking for advanced electromechanical access control, the S&G® 2890 PDL is the lock engineered and manufactured to conform to the highest security standards of the U.S. Government. Sargent & Greenleaf designed the 2890 Pedestrian Door Lock to conform to the requirements of Federal Specification FF-L-2890 for the protection of classified materials. Plus, it’s easy to install. The S&G® 2890 PDL incorporates a model 2740 high security combination lock, by far the easiest lock to install in its category, saving installation time and greatly reducing the probability of installer damage.
Often copied by competitors, S&G is the original designer of the deadbolt strikes commonly seen on SCIFs (Sensitive Compartmented Information Facilities) and other government and defense contractor secure areas. Four rugged strike models accommodate mounting the 2890 PDL on in-swing, out-swing, and even double doors.
The security enhancing Spy-Proof® Dial feature is standard with the S&G® 2890 PDL. It restricts the area of the dial that can be viewed to a small band of numbers at the very top, making it extremely difficult for anyone other than the operator to view the numbers being dialed.
Nate Brown, Marketing Manager for S&G noted, “Even with its enhanced security features, the Model 2890 PDL is simple to operate. It uses the standard left-right-left dialing procedure for entry, and features an easy-to-operate inside turn knob for quick egress. The time-tested design and construction also makes this a robust and secure automatic deadbolt device.”
