Allegion Launches App for Automatic Door Operators
Allegion US's new Allegion Optimize app lets installers and facilities teams calibrate and troubleshoot select LCN automatic operators from a phone.
Updated on Nov. 2, 2026 in Remote Work
Allegion US has launched Allegion Optimize, a mobile app for managing selected Allegion products, beginning with the LCN Senior Swing Series automatic operator. The app connects to the operator via Bluetooth to handle commissioning, diagnostics and firmware updates.
Why it matters
The app was developed in response to changes in the facilities management workforce. Predicted retirements in the field are driving demand for tools that simplify maintenance and technical support.
Up to 50 percent of the facility management workforce is predicted to retire between 2018 and 2033, according to figures cited by Allegion. The source does not detail the methodology behind that projection.
The players
Allegion US
Allegion US is the U.S. arm of Allegion, a global security products company known for locks, door hardware and access control systems.
The details
Users can start the LCN Senior Swing's calibration cycle while standing on the ground, and can fine-tune settings without removing the operator cover or using a ladder. The app also surfaces error codes and notifications before users contact technical support, and is available from the Apple App Store and Google Play.
Timeline
Between 2018 and 2033, up to 50 percent of the facility management workforce is predicted to retire.
Allegion plans to announce support for additional automatic operators and electronic locks later this year.
Remote Work
The Allegion Optimize app extends the wireless configuration model to building hardware, letting technicians adjust door operators over Bluetooth instead of climbing ladders to open covers. Allegion has said it will add support for more automatic operators and electronic locks later this year.
Installers and facilities staff can calibrate and troubleshoot supported LCN operators from a phone without removing covers or climbing ladders. The app is free to download from the Apple App Store and Google Play for use with LCN automatic operators.
The takeaway
For facilities teams, phone-based commissioning can cut the time spent on routine adjustments and error diagnosis. Teams managing LCN automatic operators should check whether their devices are on the supported list before the app's later expansions arrive.
What happens next
Allegion plans to announce support for additional automatic operators and electronic locks later this year.
