Latch Announces Partnerships with Marks, TownSteel, dormakaba

Latch, maker of LatchOS, the full-building enterprise software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform, announced partnerships with Marks USA, a division of NAPCO Security Technologies and TownStee, along with an intended partnership with dormakaba Holding AG. The  combination of these partnerships should bring LatchOS to even more residents, property managers and guests, and help to accelerate Latch’s growth across new market segments, lock formats and verticals.

“From the beginning, our vision for Latch has been much broader than access. Our value is in delivering holistic, open solutions that drive user engagement and transform the way people experience the spaces where they live, work, and visit,” says Luke Schoenfelder, Latch cofounder, CEO and chairman of the board of directors. “As we continue to scale our business, we are excited to bring the power of LatchOS to even more spaces, doors and people around the world. We are thrilled to partner with these industry leaders to help us accelerate our path forward and meet the rapidly growing market demand for LatchOS.”

The offerings with Marks, TownSteel and dormakaba are expected to be the first access-based partner offerings in Latch’s growing ecosystem of integrated first- and third-party devices, software and services.

Initial offerings are expected to focus on:

• Growing new market segments: Marks and Latch plan to launch a new Latch Lens integration with the Marks ArchiTech Series Networx Locks. The widespread adoption of this mortise-style lock will streamline retrofit installations.
• Delivering new lock formats: In response to growing customer demand for new lock formats, TownSteel and Latch plan to deliver an interconnected lock powered by the Latch Lens. This solution will be available first with a major national retrofit customer before being rolled out nationally.
• Driving geographic expansion: dormakaba and Latch plan to launch a new integration between dormakaba’s resivo connected access devices and LatchOS to bring the full Latch software experience to new and existing dormakaba customers across Europe.
