Article Update Request

I am a summer intern at Ingersoll Rand and I am working with the Schlage brand. I couldn't help but notice that Schlage's Wikipedia entry is somewhat outdated and does not fully reflect the scope of the brand. The product information that is included only covers a small portion of what Schlage offers and does not go into a great amount of detail. I also noticed that there is no distinction between Schlage's residential and commercial businesses. I realize that it is frowned upon to edit the Wikipedia article of your own company and a neutral third party must do so. In the interest of transparency and corporate social responsibility I will not edit this article, but I strongly urge a neutral party to take the time and edit the Schlage page as you see fit as there is much room for improvement. If somebody takes this task upon themselves there are several legitimate sources that could come in handy to provide the necessary information.

Schlage's website offers information about the residential and the commercial sides of the business: www.Schlage.com

History of Schlage discusses the origin of the brand: http://professional.schlage.com/about/about_us_historyofschlage.asp

Progress is Greener offers a look into Schlage's efforts to become a green brand that uses recyclable materials: http://www.doorsecurity.ca/content/progress_is_greener

Thank you for your consideration.

High Security??

I don't believe that the LiNK locks should be classified und "high security" -- by definition no wireless device can really offer a level of security I would consider "high", especially for a lock, and especially when the lock is effectively no more secure than the password the user uses on some corporate website.

"...by definition no wireless device can really offer a level of security..." is just wrong. While the Z-Wave protocol used by LiNK just has basic crypto, a wireless lock based on the same type of formula used by SecurID fobs, would be effective. The key and the lock would have to time synced. The code used by the wireless key and the lock would rotate every minute, making replay attacks useless after a minute. It would be better than a door key. 216.113.193.90 (talk) 04:44, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

Obverse keys

The section on obverse keys is misleading and in some cases outright incorrect (like saying there are 7 keyway types when there are 11; source: http://absupply.net/schlage-35-101-l-key-blank-.aspx?gdftrk=gdfV21316_a_7c552_a_7c2882_a_7cSchlage%2035_d_101%20L ). It should talk about the different pin numbers (5, 6, and maybe 7, I don't remember. 5 is the most common and is found in most residential locks.) 67.171.230.17 (talk) 05:34, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
