AAS / Security Brand 27-225SK Edge E2 SK Card Reader + Intercom
The Security Brands 27-225SK Edge E2 SK + Intercom is the Secura Key version of the Edge E2 smart reader with intercom. It was built for sites using Secura Key proximity credentials that also wanted Edge app-based management and visitor communication at the gate or access point. The unit offers the smart Edge platform features while keeping the reader technology tied to Secura Key credentials.
This is an important model to verify because Security Brands identifies the 27-225SK as discontinued and points customers toward the Edge E2 SecurePass + Intercom as the newer alternative. That does not mean the SecurePass version is a direct credential match for every Secura Key site. If a customer has existing Secura Key cards or fobs, changing to SecurePass or HID may require new credentials and reprogramming.

Technician Note
Because this model is commonly shown as discontinued, confirm actual inventory and customer credential type. If the job changes reader technology, the customer may need new cards, fobs, or programming.
Before Ordering Checklist
- Confirm the site actually uses Secura Key credentials
- Confirm the existing model is 27-225SK or the job specifically calls for SK
- Check availability before selling as a current product
- Verify intercom/base station wiring and relay wiring
- Confirm whether the customer is willing to migrate to SecurePass or another reader family
Professional Advisory
Do not change credential technology without planning the access-control migration. A qualified technician or access-control manager should confirm card format, facility code, user database, and replacement reader technology.
Important Ordering Warnings
- Security Brands commonly identifies this model as discontinued.
- SecurePass and HID versions are related Edge E2 models but are not automatic credential replacements.
