St Rita’s College is an independent Catholic day school for girls from Years 7—12 in Clayfield, Queensland. With a large and diverse campus, the College had significant challenges ensuring the safety and security of staff and students, as well the protection of valuable assets.
With SALTO Certified Partner, Network Locksmiths and Security, St Rita’s College commenced deployment of a SALTO access control system in 2017. Today, it’s a virtually keyless campus.
Says Belinda Parker, Director of Network Locksmiths and Security, ‘We had the pleasure of working with St Rita’s College to progressively roll out the SALTO access control system to all their buildings, including those that are heritage-listed. We also worked closely with the architect and electrical engineers for the stunning new Trinity Centre, a state-of-the-art learning precinct that includes a 400 seat auditorium. The SALTO XS4 electronic lock range was installed on over 300 doors of all types; including auto doors, gates, car parks, and lifts. It has enabled the College to have complete control over their security and respond real-time in an emergency.’
The SALTO Virtual Network (SVN) and RFnet capability for online and offline doors, as well as lifts, gives the school full audit trails, the ability to grant access to specific rooms or areas for selected time periods, and to adjust locking schedules quickly and easily. SALTO GEO cylinder locks and GEO padlocks have also been fitted to gates and pool entry points. These are fully integrated with the XS4 platform and are an ideal solution for access points where fitting an electronic handle set is not suitable.
The SALTO access control system has aligned seamlessly with St Rita’s College requirements, and the school is delighted with the results.
Their Business Manager, Ed Gleeson, sums it up, ‘SALTO provides you with peace of mind; that when you leave for the day, the site is secure and can be managed remotely. The ease with which the system is maintained and managed is exceptional and has provided us with a terrific outcome.’
