Allegion Schlage AD, LE, and NDE Series lock integration through Mercury requires a Mercury EP, LP, MP, or Honeywell controller. If the AD Series locks are disconnected from their controller, the locks can’t grant access or store offline events. However, the mechanical key, and the inside handle, can still be used to open the door.
- Yes

1 The Allegion Schlage lock communicates with the Mercury controller using RS-485 (AD-300), or radio (AD-400). The Mercury controller communicates with the Synergis™ unit over IP. LE and NDE locks connect to the ENGAGE Gateway over Bluetooth.
2 The AD-400 (wireless lock) communicates over a 900 MHz channel using AES-128 bit encryption.
3 The AD-400 model is a wireless lock. Requires the PIM400 communication module. NDE and LE locks require an ENGAGE Gateway.
4 The credential limit of the default configuration. Up to eight different credential lengths are supported.
5 EP2500, LP2500, and MP2500 controllers each have two RS-485 channels, for a maximum of up to 64 interfaces, or 32 interfaces per channel.
EP1501, LP1501, or MP1501 controllers have one RS-485 channel, which supports up to 8 interfaces.
6 In the Allegion Schlage lock integration, it’s the Mercury controller that is viewed as the interface module, not the Allegion Schlage lock. For the recommended number of Mercury controllers per Synergis unit, see Supported Mercury controller features in Synergis Softwire 11.5.3.
