Allegion US has introduced the Schlage XE360 Series Wireless Locks, a new electronic lock portfolio designed with multifamily market needs.

The XE360 Series is the next generation of electronic locks from Schlage, outfitted with the options and features most looked for by multifamily properties and made to fit the needs of a wide range of common area openings. The XE360 Series was designed to complement a variety of design styles. It operates in an offline or No-Tour environment, which eliminates the need for property managers to visit the lock as credentials update the access rights. 

“Designed specifically for the multifamily market and backed by Schlage’s legacy of trust and innovation, the XE360 Series is a versatile and affordable solution to create safe and secure communities for residents and enhance the multifamily living experience,” said Brian Telljohann, director of product management, commercial electronics at Allegion. “A strategic evolution of our multifamily ecosystem, the XE360 Series seamlessly integrates with Schlage Control mobile-enabled smart locks and features applications across the entire building, which allows multifamily operators to leverage a single access control and management solution without compromising security and design.”  

Integrated with Allegion and third-party access control software providers and proptech systems, the XE360 Series’ open architecture design provides property owners and operators the flexibility to choose between management systems and delivers a convenient and secure experience for residents.

The trend of mobile access control is increasing in popularity for apartment selection. According to Allegion’s 2023 Multifamily Living Trends Report, over 59 percent of survey respondents would select a future place of residence if they were able to access their unit using a mobile device. The XE360 Series supports the latest mobile credential technologies, including MIFARE, Bluetooth and NFC mobile, with advanced encryption to keep data and communications safe.

The new FleX Module board allows the XE360 Series locks to be easily upgraded in the field to allow migration from an offline to networked solution and adapt to emerging trends in security and connectivity as the building’s needs or technology change.

“As the multifamily market continues to evolve, the XE360 Series equips property owners and managers with a curated set of features designed to simplify access control, thoughtful designs and finishes to complement today’s aesthetics, and the power to choose software that meet the needs of their building,” said Telljohann.
