Allegion US has introduced Allegion Optimize™, a new mobile application designed to streamline the management of selected Allegion security products.
This launch comes alongside a recent firmware update for the LCN Senior Swing Series Auto Operator, which is now the first device compatible with the app. The app empowers installers and facility teams to calibrate, adjust, maintain, and troubleshoot the Senior Swing, enhancing operational efficiency, precision, and safety.
Efficient Device Management
Allegion Optimize provides a cohesive experience for device commissioning, diagnostics, and firmware updates by connecting via Bluetooth®. This app offers consistent support throughout the product's life cycle, enabling facility teams to improve efficiency while gaining valuable insights and control over their operations.
Emily Zentz, Allegion's product manager for automatic operators, commented, "Between 2018 and 2033, it’s predicted that up to 50 percent of the facility management workforce will retire. As new facilities professionals step into the industry, it’s imperative that technology advances in line with their growing expectations. The Optimize app answers that call, positioning Allegion’s line of auto operators with a modern experience."
Enhanced Control and Troubleshooting
Users can fine-tune settings directly through the app without removing device covers
The app simplifies the process of setting adjustments, troubleshooting, and calibration for the LCN Senior Swing. It allows installers to efficiently manage the device from the ground, eliminating the need for ladder use and permitting close monitoring of the door during calibration.
Users can fine-tune settings directly through the app without removing device covers. Additionally, Optimize provides insights on error codes and notifications, enabling users to address issues quickly before reaching out for technical support.
Future Expansion
Allegion plans to expand the functionality of Optimize beyond the LCN Senior Swing. The app aims to serve as a comprehensive solution for the commissioning, configuration, and maintenance of future Allegion connected devices across various product categories. Further announcements are expected to detail support for additional auto operators and electronic locks.
Currently, Allegion Optimize can be downloaded from the Apple App Store® and Google Play™ Store, supporting LCN auto operators.

Openings running smoothly
Optimize creates a single, unified experience that reduces time and friction in device commissioning, diagnostics and firmware updates across connected Allegion solutions via Bluetooth® connection. By providing support throughout the device’s life cycle, facility teams not only gain improved efficiency but better insight into the data and controls that help keep their openings running smoothly.
"Between 2018 and 2033, it’s predicted that up to 50 percent of the facility management workforce will retire,” said Emily Zentz, Allegion product manager, automatic operators. “As new facilities professionals step into the industry, it’s imperative that technology advances in line with their growing expectations. The Optimize app answers that call, positioning Allegion’s line of auto operators with a modern experience.”
Greater level of control
Setting adjustments, troubleshooting and calibration on the LCN Senior Swing is now even easier. In-app calibration, diagnostic tools, firmware updates and data management enable installers and facility teams to have a greater level of control over their buildings.
Once the LCN Senior Swing is installed, the installer can run the calibration cycle from the app. This allows them to be safely on the ground and watch the door more closely to determine whether further adjustments are needed. Users can fine tune the settings on the Optimize app without removing the cover on the Senior Swing or climbing a ladder. When troubleshooting, Optimize provides details for any error codes or notifications, so the user can quickly review, digest and act upon that information before engaging with technical support.
Multiple product categories
Allegion Optimize won’t stop with the LCN Senior Swing. It is designed to be the new unified device management mobile application that will simplify the commissioning, configuration and ongoing maintenance of future Allegion connected devices across multiple product categories. Plans to support additional auto operators and electronic locks will be announced later this year.
Allegion Optimize is available now in the Apple App Store® and Google Play™ store for use with LCN auto operators.
