Door and opening hardware specification in multifamily and commercial occupancies represent some of the most challenging and budgetarily nuanced aspects of the design-build process. This complexity is only increased with the incorporation of electronic access control, from hardware and software selection to crucial (and potentially destructive) infrastructure add-ons. However, today’s buildings can supply architects with a solution to the challenges inherent to electronic access control specification and installation: distributed Wi-Fi.

By specifying wireless electronic locking hardware, design-build teams can eliminate the need for access control panels, gateways, and disruptive or potentially destructive cable pulls. Leveraging existing building Wi-Fi to deliver on-demand and frictionless security can both maximize design opportunity within a project scope and provide a future-ready building to increase the long-term return on investment for project owners.

Join Allegion industry experts as they provide actionable insights to bridge the gap between Openings (Division 08), Communications (Division 27), and Electronic Safety & Security (Division 28) and to help preserve your design intent while providing a future-ready building.

Key Takeaways:

• Wi-Fi for building security maximizes value: by strategically utilizing building Wi-Fi for Electronic Access Control deployments.
• Frictionless coordination minimizes RFIs and expensive change orders: by aligning multiple divisions (Division 08, Division 27 and Division 28) in the planning process.
• Installing real-time, Wi-Fi integrated locks streamlines door specification and installation: by foregoing intrusive or destructive infrastructure add-ons.
• Modular locking hardware delivers long-term value: by keeping designs future-ready with easily upgradeable access control technology.
