We are pleased to announce the introduction of the new Security Innovation Award. Named in honor of Ed Chandler, CPP, founder of Security By Design, Inc., the award will recognize annually an important innovation emanating from the security consulting profession. The innovation may be a service offering, process, or unique application of product or technology.
Ed passed away on Monday, April 7, 2025. He and co-founder Lorna L. Chandler, CPP, navigated the changing landscape of physical security from implementing the first international access control system in the 1980’s to today’s world of networked multifaceted systems. He was an expert in door hardware and was constantly pushing the envelope of what was possible in this realm. He championed new technology and brought people together.
The Ed Chandler Security Innovation Award will be presented at CONSULT 2025 on Saturday, October 4.

Boon Edam designed the Circlelock Combi as a convenient retrofit option to address the risk that exists with any type of swinging door - once a swinging door is opened by an authorized user, any number of people may also gain access to a secure area, which is known as "tailgating" or "piggybacking."
Many facilities use fire-rated swing doors to protect data and assets from destruction by fire, but this type of door cannot prevent tailgating or piggybacking. The Circlelock Combi attaches to an existing fire-rated door, converting it immediately into a mantrap solution that prevents piggybacking 24/7 and eliminates the need for manned supervision, all while maintaining the fire-rated benefits of the swing door. The Combi also saves considerable space compared to traditionally built mantrap vestibules that use standard walls and two swinging doors.
