Insights
Allegion's integration of Schlage XE360 with Zentra strengthens its position in the lucrative multifamily access control market.
The announced integration between Allegion's Zentra access control platform and the Schlage XE360 electronic locks represents a strategic enhancement to the company's multifamily security ecosystem. This integration leverages two key technological advantages: the versatility of the XE360 Series with its multiple configurations (tubular, mortise, deadbolt, exit trims) and Zentra's cloud-based management capabilities.
The technical highlight here is the FleX Module™ technology, which enables field upgradability from offline to real-time connected solutions. This futureproofing feature addresses a critical pain point for property managers who typically face expensive rip-and-replace scenarios when technology evolves. The wireless configuration capability via smart devices further reduces installation complexity and operational friction.
From a market positioning perspective, this integration strengthens Allegion's competitive stance in the rapidly growing smart access control segment for multifamily properties. The comprehensive coverage of access points (resident units, perimeter exits, amenity spaces) with matching aesthetics delivers both functional and design consistency that property managers value. The announcement timing ahead of Apartmentalize, a major industry conference, maximizes visibility among key decision-makers.
Allegion is effectively extending its traditional lock hardware strength into the higher-margin, recurring revenue potential of cloud-based access management, addressing the industry trend toward integrated security ecosystems rather than standalone products.
A cutting-edge technology integration designed to streamline multifamily property access and security management
Built on Allegion's legacy of security excellence, Zentra offers a user-friendly experience based on insights from property managers and maintenance staff. This powerful partnership combines Zentra's cutting-edge cloud technology with the robust and versatile Schlage XE360™ Series, creating a seamless and convenient experience for multifamily communities. Taking advantage of the latest technology, XE360™ locks can be configured wirelessly via smart devices, offering a convenient and easy process for property managers.
"We are thrilled to announce the integration of Schlage XE360™ products with Zentra, marking a significant milestone in our commitment to providing innovative security solutions," said John Goodwin, Vice President, General Manager, Multi-Family Access at Allegion. "This collaboration harnesses the power of cutting-edge technology to deliver unparalleled convenience and security for multifamily communities. The XE360™ Series, with its ability to accommodate any style of opening on a multifamily property, combined with Zentra's cloud technology, sets a new standard for property management excellence."
A Dynamic Duo in Excellence
With configurations in tubular, mortise, mortise deadbolt and exit trims, plus matching levers and finishes, the Schlage XE360™ Series offers a sleek and cohesive look that can be used throughout a property, creating a seamless experience for any entry point. Zentra's cloud technology supercharges the XE360™ Series functionality to give your property flexibility in application, visibility in reporting and effortlessly handle high-traffic communities. The innovative FleX Module™ allows the XE360™ Series to be easily upgraded in the field to allow migration from an offline to real-time connected solution and to adapt to emerging trends in security and connectivity down the road. This pairing is ideal for resident units, perimeter exits, amenity spaces and more.
"The integration of Schlage XE360™ with Zentra is more than just a technological advancement—it's a step forward in simplifying and enhancing access management for multifamily properties," said Nate Spitz, Allegion General Manager, Locks and Access Solutions. "By combining the reliability of the XE360™ Series with Zentra's cloud-based capabilities, we're providing property managers with the tools they need to adapt to evolving demands in security and connectivity."
