dormakaba Simplifies Upgrade Process for Magstripe Users Moving to RFID/Mobile Access Electronic Locks 

dormakaba, provider of the Saflok™ and Ilco™ brands of electronic locks, announced a simplified migration path for its magstripe users to upgrade to its Saflok and Ilco mobile-enabled RFID  electronic door locks and Ambiance Management Software. dormakaba is a total solution provider for the hospitality industry and one of the top three companies in the global market for access and security solutions. 

On March 13, 2019 dormakaba announced it will no longer offer its Saflok and Ilco magstripe products for new installations or renovation projects. dormakaba will continue to support installed magstripe locks until March 25, 2024. Given the continuous evolution of hotel access to RFID technology, the retirement of dormakaba's magstripe locks aligns with the company's commitment to offer advanced solutions that deliver a reliable, modern hotel experience.

dormakaba understands that security, control and accountability are essential for guest safety and efficient operations. By replacing dormakaba's magstripe locks, operators can take advantage of the many features and benefits of its reliable mobile-ready RFID technology. The company noted that RFID keycards are extremely reliable, cannot demagnetize and require lower maintenance than magstripe thanks to their sealed readers. dormakaba’s RFID locks are mobile-ready and offer a proven path to mobile access implementation.

dormakaba’s line of RFID locks work with its new Ambiance Access Management Software. Ambiance is an ideal solution to manage dormakaba’s family of advanced locking systems. The application puts operators in full control of property entry and egress areas by specifying time sensitive access permissions.
