Available on the global market place, ASSA ABLOY’s AperioTM Technology now enables the cost-effective integration of doors with mechanical locks into both new and existing access control systems. Thanks to its innovative wireless technology, integrating doors into an access control system will no longer require extensive wiring or structural alterations in the future. Doors will merely need to be equipped with electronic AperioTM locking cylinders or escutcheons with RFID readers and linked to the access control system via a communications hub.

Access control systems provide buildings with a very high standard of security. However, installing access control doors is very expensive due to the extensive wiring required. This is why access control systems often only cover doors with very high security requirements. All other doors feature mechanical locks and therefore cannot be monitored and managed and if a master key is lost there can be a major security risk, not a satisfactory set of circumstances for security officers, so this is where AperioTM Technology comes in. This technology now enables mechanical doors to be integrated into new or existing access control systems using an online, wireless solution which is very inexpensive when compared to conventional systems.
