New Deadbolt Status Indicator Kits from ASSA ABLOY
Deadbolt Status Indicator Kits
A Simple Upgrade That Improves Safety and Visibility
A Practical Upgrade for Better Door Awareness
At Dugmore & Duncan, we’re always looking for simple, effective ways to improve safety at the door level—especially solutions that are easy to use and integrate seamlessly into existing setups.
ASSA ABLOY has introduced a new line of deadbolt status indicator retrofit kits across three of its core brands:
ASSA ABLOY ACCENTRA®
Corbin Russwin
SARGENT
These kits add a clear visual indicator to the exterior side of a deadbolt, showing whether the door is locked or unlocked—something that’s often overlooked but critically important in real-world applications.
All three product lines will be available to order starting May 15, 2026.
Why This Matters (From the Field)
We see this issue all the time in schools, healthcare facilities, and multi-building campuses:
Staff aren’t sure if a door is secured
Lock status requires physically testing the door
Security checks take longer than they should
There’s no quick visual confirmation during an emergency
This retrofit solves that with instant, at-a-glance verification—no guesswork.
Designed to Work with What You Already Have
One of the biggest advantages here is that these kits are true retrofits. You don’t need to replace your existing hardware.
They’re designed to work with:
ACCENTRA® D Series deadbolts
Corbin Russwin DL2200 & DL3200 Series
SARGENT 460 & 480 Series
They also support:
Fixed core cylinders
LFIC (large format interchangeable core)
SFIC (small format interchangeable core)
That means in many cases, this is a quick upgrade—not a full project.
Key Features That Make a Difference
Exterior (keyed side) lock status indication
Green/Red or White/Red visual options
English or French labeling
Patent-pending design
1-year warranty
Fire-Rated Openings? Covered.
These kits are UL/cUL Classified for use on 3-hour fire-rated doors when paired with the appropriate deadbolt series.
Where We See the Most Value
K-12 and Higher Education
Quick visual confirmation for classrooms, offices, and secure areas.
Healthcare Facilities
Helps staff quickly verify room security without disruption.
Multi-Building Campuses
Improves efficiency for maintenance and security teams performing routine checks.
Commercial & Industrial Facilities
Adds clarity in high-traffic or restricted-access areas.
Finish Options and Flexibility
Each brand offers finishes that align with existing hardware, including:
Satin chrome
Dark bronze
Black powder coat
Additional finishes depending on application
Deadbolts are ordered separately, and we can help ensure compatibility with your current setup.
Our Take
This is one of those upgrades that seems small—but solves a very real, very common problem.
If you’re responsible for:
Facility safety
Code compliance
Multi-door security management
…it’s worth taking a closer look.
