San Clemente Senior Living

Los Angeles, CA

A Thoughtful Security Upgrade for Senior Housing

In a quiet Los Angeles neighborhood, San Clemente Senior Living was designed to offer seniors a secure and independent lifestyle. The developer, known for creating affordable housing for aging communities, had a clear vision: integrate smart, user-friendly access control without compromising life safety or aesthetics.

​

THE CHALLENGE

With narrow stile doors throughout the property of 138 units, standard mortise locks were not an option. The developer needed a 2-3/8” backset smart lock that would fit the door profile, support emergency egress, and offer modern credentialing and scheduling features.

​

THE SOLUTION

Huntington Hardware, a trusted LA distributor, quickly identified the ideal solution: The INOX IST-IC6500 Smart Interconnect Lock.

​

This lock provided:

• A 2-3/8” backset perfect for narrow stile doors

• Interconnect function for one-motion egress

• Smart features like mobile access, audit logs, and passage scheduling

• A residential look suited for senior housing

To ensure secure latching and code compliance, we also supplied ASA strikes for all units.

​

RESULTS

Installation and onboarding went smoothly, with training and support provided directly to staff. Now, St. Clemente residents enjoy peace of mind and ease of use, while the facility benefits from centralized, smart access management.

INOX Smart and Huntington Hardware are proud to support a project where security meets dignity.
