  • New systems enable real-time control and connectivity, enhancing multifamily property security.
  • Zentra and Gatewise offer frictionless entry, eliminating high-maintenance intercoms for residents.

Allegion US is set to showcase its latest electronic access control solutions at the NAA Apartmentalize event from June 17 to 19. At Booth #2307, Allegion will present its interoperable solutions and integrations from Schlage, Zentra™ and Gatewise™. This annual event gathers multifamily housing professionals for education, networking, and learning about the latest industry trends.

The focus of these innovations is to address the historical visibility gap in multifamily properties, according to John Goodwin, General Manager and Vice President for multifamily access at Allegion. "Multifamily property operators have historically struggled with a visibility gap, often remaining unaware of an access issue at a door until a resident or staff member reports it," he stated.

Seamless integration

Allegion’s offerings integrate Zentra™ and Gatewise’s platforms with the Schlage XE360™ Series and RealSync™ technology, offering real-time visibility and control from the perimeter gate to apartment doors without additional hardware. Attendees at the event can experience these innovations firsthand.

The Schlage XE360™ Series now includes a new deadbolt option with an adaptable FleX Module™

The upcoming integration of Zentra and Gatewise with Allegion’s Yonomi™ Platform is set to expand their capabilities in the multifamily market. This collaboration provides property managers using either platform with seamless, centralised access through Allegion’s RealSync™ technology. This allows real-time connectivity using existing Wi-Fi infrastructure, eliminating the need for additional gateways or wiring.

Introducing new deadbolt options

The Schlage XE360™ Series now includes a new deadbolt option with an adaptable FleX Module™, offering flexibility between Bluetooth® and Wi-Fi RealSync™ modes. This feature aims to simplify decision-making for property operators regarding security technology.

Zentra and Gatewise are collaborating to offer a modern guest access experience, removing the necessity of physical intercoms. Their solution allows guests to scan a QR code at a property's entrance to access a digital directory and call residents, who can grant entry via smartphone.

Amit Sherman, VP of multifamily access solutions at Allegion, emphasized their focus. "Through partnerships with innovators like Zentra and Gatewise, we are redefining what’s possible in property security," he said. "With every integration and enhancement, we’re focused on empowering multifamily professionals to adapt quickly, optimise workflows, and maintain the highest standards of security and convenience."

Campus-to-community experience

Allegion is also promoting its newly announced Campus-to-Community experience. This mobile-first ecosystem enhances the student journey from campus to off-campus residences. By uniting hardware, mobile credentials, software, and services, it delivers seamless experiences and reduced operational complexity for both students and operators.

For those unable to attend the show in person, Allegion offers several online resources. Multifamily housing professionals can delve into the Solving for Multifamily Podcast, digital materials, and virtual training sessions to stay informed about the latest in access control solutions.
