New Customer Portal Resource - Learn more about Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®).
LEED is a term that many of our customers are becoming and more and more familiar with. The LEED Green Building Rating System is a voluntary, consensus-based national standard for developing high-performance, sustainable buildings. Members of the U.S. Green Building Council representing all segments of the building industry developed LEED and continue to contribute to its evolution.
Doorway Solutions fully supports the LEED standards and continually works with manufacturers to ensure we offer a full line of products that meet LEED specifications. Please view the new LEED section of our Customer Portal to learn more about LEED and how Doorway Solutions can help you.

ASSA ABLOY Introduces Hi-O™ Technology
ASSA ABLOY introduces Hi-OTM (Highly Intelligent Opening) technology, a new concept for electronic door solutions that simplifies installation, service and upgrade off a building’s security and life-safety system.
Hi-O connects electronic door components together over a CAN (Controller Area Network) data network, allowing them to communicate and monitor the health of the opening. CAN technology is a standard used for many years in the car industry. Hi-O enables connected devices to exchange and share encrypted information. Every device (the lock, exit device, electric strike, proximity reader, door operator, push button, etc.) is connected through a 4-wire cable; two wires for power and two for data communication. The devices can be connected to the network even when powered up – “Hot Plugging”.
Plug-and–Play
With Hi-O, intelligence is built into each device instead of one centralized logic unit, creating a plug-and-play system. A Hi-O device will work with its basic configuration as soon as it gets connected – just as when a USB device is plugged into a computer. The communication between the devices is encrypted in order to prevent intrusion.
The advantages with a Hi-O system are many:
- To the installer Hi-O means fewer wires to keep track of, faster connecting of components and immediate configuration.
- Maintenance becomes predictive rather than reactive and troubleshooting is simplified due to the built-in diagnostics. A faulty device will alert the network. Standardisxed wiring and plug-and-play technology makes changing devices easy.
- Expansion of the Hi-O door system is simplified because all new devices will automatically identify themselves on the network.
- For the building owner, there’s the lower cost of ownership for the life of the opening.
Hi-O technology is available on products from BESAM, CORBIN RUSSWIN, HES, HID, NORTON, SARGENT, SECURITRON, and YALE.
For more details about about the new Hi-O Technology, contact the experts at Doorway Solutions to learn more.
