Over the past two years, Allegion has embarked on an internal initiative to reformat and simplify their catalog nomenclature, in an effort establish a standard for both the pricing and ordering of products. This initiative was referred to as "Allegion Catalog Nomenclature" (ACN).
AVAware developers have been in regular communication with the Allegion team as this new format has taken shape in the hopes that it will address the needs of our users. A standardization of product nomenclature across Allegion brands that can also be reflected in the catalogs offered to AVAproject users would open the door to a number of exciting applications moving forward. The ability to receive faster pricing updates, electronic quoting and ordering are just a few of the long term objectives of this initiative.
An initial "test" release of the ACN format in April of 2020 took the form of a newly formatted LCN products catalog, released alongside its traditional counterpart. This first attempt met with mixed reviews from users, but after another year of refinement the ACN format has become the standard for all of the Allegion price books.
These extensive changes naturally meant a ground-up restructuring of the Allegion price books and a corresponding restructuring of the AVAproject compatible versions of them. As with any newly minted catalogs, there are inevitably corrections and omissions to be addressed, and our team is continuing to work with Allegion to resolve any remaining issues.
A brand new set of price books, based on Allegion Catalog Nomenclature (ACN) were released on April 3, 2021 (U.S. editions) and April 16, 2021 (Canadian editions), and include the following brands:
- Falcon
- Glynn-Johnson
- Ives
- LCN
- Schlage
|
- Schlage Electronic Security
- Schlage Residential
- Von Duprin
- Zero International
|
Price books are available for download to subscribers of AVAware D8 Architectural Hardware, for both U.S. and Canadian editions.
