Allegion US is poised to unveil its latest interoperable electronic access control solutions and integrations from Schlage, Zentra™, and Gatewise™ at NAA Apartmentalize, occurring from June 17–19. This annual gathering of multifamily housing professionals offers insights into the latest industry trends and best practices, with Allegion showcasing its offerings at Booth #2307.

John Goodwin, Allegion's GM and VP of multifamily access, observes, “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.”

Access Control Solutions

By integrating Zentra™ and Gatewise with Schlage XE360™ Series via RealSync™, property teams can now achieve real-time visibility and control from perimeter gates to apartment doors without additional hardware. “That’s a complete solution and the kind of software impact that genuinely changes how a building runs," Goodwin added.

Visitors to the booth can engage with Allegion's security consultants for detailed discussions on seamless access, while exploring innovations unified by software platforms with integrated hardware and support services for multifamily complexes.

Real-Time Connectivity

This strategic partnership facilitates seamless, centralized access to Allegion's RealSync™ technology

Zentra and Gatewise are preparing to enhance their multifamily offerings through an impending integration with Allegion's Yonomi™ Platform. This strategic partnership facilitates seamless, centralized access to Allegion's RealSync™ technology, offering uninterrupted connectivity via a property's existing Wi-Fi. This setup allows managers to swiftly send commands and verify lock status without extra gateways or wiring costs.

Real-time connectivity is delivered by the Schlage XE360™ Series, now expanding with a new deadbolt featuring an interchangeable FleX Module™. This allows easy selection between offline Bluetooth® or Wi-Fi-enabled RealSync™ modes, supported by Zentra and Gatewise.

High-Maintenance Physical Intercoms

Zentra and Gatewise are redefining guest access by merging Zentra’s cloud access control with Gatewise’s Guest Access, thus eliminating high-maintenance physical intercoms. Guests can scan a QR code to access a digital directory and contact residents, who can remotely grant access via smartphone. This collaboration provides a streamlined, hardware-light entry process spanning from gates to apartment doors.

Amit Sherman, Allegion's VP of multifamily access solutions & operations, noted, “At Allegion, locks and hardware are just the starting point. Through partnerships with innovators like Zentra and Gatewise, we are redefining what’s possible in property security.”

Improving Resident Experience

Allegion is also promoting its Campus-to-Community experience—an integrated, mobile-first ecosystem designed to connect the student journey on and off campus. It combines hardware, mobile credentials, top-tier software integrations, and expert services, reducing friction for operators and enhancing resident satisfaction.

This initiative not only provides a seamless mobile-access journey for students but also reduces service calls and operational complexity for professionals. Backed by Allegion’s extensive history and partnerships, the Campus-to-Community approach enables operators to confidently scale their student housing solutions.

Show-goers can enjoy live games, demonstrations, and food at Allegion’s booth. For those unable to attend the event, Allegion offers online resources, including the Solving for Multifamily Podcast and an array of digital materials and virtual training sessions.
