Schlage NDE and MTB with Engage

Creating a modern, efficient, and scalable access control system doesn't have to be complicated.

With Schlage's robust suite of wireless locks, readers, controllers, and ENGAGE™ software, organizations can deploy a flexible solution that works across a variety of openings—without the need for extensive wiring or complex infrastructure.

Schlage NDE wireless Lock

The NDE and NDEB series are wireless, standalone cylindrical locks designed to provide simplified access control on interior doors. One of their major benefits is that they do not require an electric strike — Reducing materials and installation time, saving you money.

Key Features:

• Powered by four AA batteries (no external wiring)

• Communicates via Bluetooth and/or ENGAGE Gateway

These locks are ideal for office doors, classrooms, and other interior openings where full credentialed access is needed without modifying the frame or installing additional hardware.

Other Components

• For exterior doors or high-traffic entrances requiring automated operation
• The MTB15/MTKB15 readers authenticate credentials (cards, fobs, or mobile).
• Once verified, the reader signals an electric strike to release the lock.
• If the door has an automatic door operator (ADO), it will open automatically.
• In setups without an operator, a Schlage PS902 power supply is used to provide low-voltage power to the reader and electric strike.

The Schlage CTE (Connect to ENGAGE) controller enables integration of MTB series readers into the ENGAGE ecosystem when used with electrified hardware like strikes or maglocks.

System Flow:

Credential is presented at the MTB15 or MTKB15 reader
Reader communicates with the CTE controller
CTE validates credentials via ENGAGE
Upon success, the CTE triggers the electric strike to unlock

Use Case: Ideal for single-door applications requiring online control but using wired locking hardware. It bridges the gap between smart readers and electrified openings in the ENGAGE platform.

ENGAGE Software (available via web portal and mobile app) is the brain of the system. It provides centralized management for credentials, access schedules, and device settings.

Capabilities:

Add/remove users and mobile credentials
Set schedules, holidays, and access levels
View audit trails and reports
Sync devices wirelessly or through gateways
Integrate with third-party access control platforms (e.g., LenelS2, C•CURE, Open Options)

Whether you’re managing a few doors or scaling to hundreds of devices, ENGAGE simplifies setup and ongoing administration.

The ENGAGE Gateway (Optional but often used) is the central hub that enables real-time connectivity between locks/readers and the ENGAGE cloud platform.

Key Functions:

Connects up to 10 devices per gateway
Communicates with locks via Bluetooth, and with the network via Wi-Fi or Ethernet
Pushes updates and credential data to devices
Enables real-time events and remote management

Using gateways reduces the need for manual updates via mobile devices and allows administrators to manage access remotely and efficiently.

Schlage contactless smart credentials put you in control by delivering smarter
solutions.

These credentials protect your most sensitive data by utilizing extra
layers of security protection, and can be used for many other applications including transit, cashless vending, and cafeteria point of sale.

Schlage contactless smart credentials operate on a 13.56 MHz frequency, and utilize high security encrypted data, which is mutually authenticated in communication between the card and reader, providing optimum security.
