How Protege Wireless Locks are revolutionizing apartment buildings

The future of apartment access control is here - it's wireless, efficient, and elegantly simple.

They say simplicity is the ultimate sophistication and in today's world of modern living, we expect convenience and adaptability to go hand in hand with safety and protection. Yet, security often takes a back seat. Shockingly, 63% of tenants said a "lack of security" was their main reason for moving out of an apartment. 

Protege Wireless Locks blend technology, security, and convenience, providing a cutting-edge solution for modern needs, enabling you to offer your customers the peace of mind they deserve.

What is Apartment Access Control?

Apartment access control automates property access for authorized residents, staff, and visitors. It is a critical part of modern apartment buildings, simplifying building access for approved individuals while maintaining robust building security. 

Controlled access apartments enjoy greater convenience and security, which renters actively seek out when apartment hunting. Apartment access control systems are installed at entryways, ensuring only authorized people can pass through.

Apartment access control provides a safe and secure environment for residents while offering unparalleled convenience and flexibility. With an access control system, property managers can manage access permissions, grant access to visitors, and monitor building access remotely. This not only enhances security but also significantly improves the overall resident experience.

Unlock simplicity and security

Protege Wireless Locks come in two types – the Cartridge Mortise and the Motorized Deadbolt  -- with a variety of finishes and styles to complement any aesthetic.

What exactly is a One Card Solution for apartment building access control?

Put simply, a one card solution means using one credential to gain access to the whole building.

At the heart of the one card  solution lies the essence of mobility and simplicity. Imagine the freedom of moving through a building's spaces – from the parking garage to the lobby and your apartment, to exclusive amenities like coworking spaces, rooftop gardens, or the fitness center – gain access to them all with a single smart card, key fob, remote transmitter or ICT Mobile Credential.

Key benefits to an Apartment Access Control Solution

Efficiency in every tap

With just a tap of a smart card or the use of an ICT Mobile Credential, tenants and staff can access authorized areas. This not only offers convenience but also strengthens security as permissions are centrally managed and can be adjusted, issued, or revoked with immediate effect.

Unified management for property managers

For property managers, the one card solution simplifies reporting and allows for comprehensive oversight with less effort. Gone are the days of fragmented security layers. Now, your entire access control system speaks the same language, so nothing gets lost in translation.

Risk mitigation made simple

Centralized systems mean fewer cracks in the security armor. By unifying access databases and permissions, you can safeguard against potential risks by ensuring correct permissions and rules are set. No need to triple check multiple systems.

User experience refined

Imagine the satisfaction for tenants who can ditch bulky keyrings filled with metal keys. The system also simplifies visitor access, allowing tenants to manage guest entry with ease. Now, one credential serves all, streamlining the way residents interact with their environment. The one card solution is about having a singular, unified access management system that streamlines oversight, improves security, and enhances the user experience.
