  • Allegion enhances LCN Senior Swing with patent-pending AdaptivIQ technology for year-round performance.
  • New LCN Senior Swing features real-time adjustments to wind and stack pressure.
  • Easy installation and fewer maintenance with customizable controls boost user satisfaction.

Allegion US has introduced a series of improvements to its LCN 2800IQ and 9500IQ Senior Swing series door operators, incorporating the innovative AdaptivIQ technology.

These enhancements are designed to offer both durability and efficiency in high-traffic environments such as healthcare facilities and office buildings, delivering reliable performance throughout the year.

Innovative Technology

The AdaptivIQ technology, along with the Smart Power Boost feature, equips the automatic door operator to adjust to seasonal changes and fluctuations in conditions caused by factors like wind, carpet drag, and HVAC stack pressure.

This self-calibrating system ensures smooth operation with minimal maintenance requirements, facilitating consistent performance and peace of mind.

"Our unique combination of AdaptivIQ and Smart Power Boost sets the LCN Senior Swing apart from our leading competitors," stated Jason Fodstad, the Senior Swing's Project Lead Engineering Manager, adding "Real-time adjustments are a game changer for any opening with inconsistent wind or stack pressure. The ability to engage and disengage as needed allows the operator to address those external forces and minimize the risk of slamming. It's not simply on or off, like many competitors."

Ease of Installation and Use

The LCN Senior Swing is particularly user-friendly for both installers and end-users

The LCN Senior Swing is particularly user-friendly for both installers and end-users, saving time and energy due to reduced maintenance needs. 

The installation process is simplified by new hook-and-cleat hardware, which provides easy and secure hands-free holding of both the motor gearbox and control box during setup. 

The newly enhanced control box comes equipped with 23 customizable user settings, an intuitive LCD screen, and offers real-time diagnostics alongside a self-calibration cycle. 

LCN Senior Swing enhancement

Emily Zentz, Product Manager for LCN Automatic Operators, mentioned, "Our aim with the LCN Senior Swing enhancement was to meet our customers' needs beyond controlling the door, and we've far exceeded that goal beyond what is in the market today. We've provided a product our customers can not only customize and configure to each opening but also trust to operate reliably all year long."

Upgrade Availability and Showcase

Customers with existing LCN Senior Swing units have the option to upgrade by installing the updated motor gearbox and new control box. Upgrade kits are available for purchase.

To see the latest features, including AdaptivIQ and Smart Power Boost, Allegion will showcase the LCN Senior Swing enhancements at ISC East 2025, held November 18–20 at the Javits Center in New York City.
