New Saffire LX Smart Locks Streamline Multihousing Property Operations

Multihousing properties now have the option of issuing mobile credentials for added resident convenience. The new Saffire LX Series from dormakaba combines sophisticated radio-frequency ID (RFID) technology in a contemporary design. Easy to use, flexible and secure, the Saffire LX Series enhances access control convenience for residents and improves operational efficiency for property managers.

“Saffire was designed specifically for multihousing properties and can be retrofitted into any environment,” says Thomas Bowles, dormakaba’s Global Multihousing Project leader. “It combines high performance with aesthetics for a seamless look throughout the property, regardless of door function or architectural requirements.”

Available in a suite of versatile models, including mortise, deadbolt, interconnect, cylindrical and panic devices, the Saffire LX Series harmonizes with progressive building technology and amenities, including the option of issuing mobile, fob, wristband or keycard credentials. Key advantages include:

• Enables mobile access that allows residents to use their smart devices to enter their residence, as well as perimeter, elevator, parking and other common areas, securely.
  
• Is available with elegant fascia colors, finishes and lever selections, making it versatile to complement any decor.
• Meets UL 10C and ULC S-104 on fire doors rated up to and including 3 hours.
• Comes standard with no-touring for increased efficiency.
• Lowers maintenance costs, because the lock operates with a completely sealed, contactless reader, and batteries last up to 2 years under normal operation.
• Works as a completely scalable solution with panic bars, parking gates and electronic access.
• Integrates with market-leading property-management providers for smart-apartment solutions.

The Saffire LX Series is managed by dormakaba Community access management software. Community provides intuitive access management of residences, amenities, common areas and perimeters from a single platform. It also provides the convenience of RFID credentials and Bluetooth Low Energy mobile access keys for a seamless experience, with no need for additional software.
