Mechatronic access systems

By combining mechanical and electronic locking systems

A mechatronic access solution combines mechanical and electronic locking technology in a building. Electronic systems are primarily used on the perimeters of the building and where event logs and schedule-based access are important; interior doors are usually equipped with mechanical components.

Advantages of the mechatronic access solution

  • Lower costs thanks to mechanical secured interior doors
  • Increased security level through logging
  • Flexibility thanks to product diversity
  • Versatile solution options
Mechatronic application cases Whether in residential buildings from the outset or as part of a renovation or subsequent re-dedication of commercial areas, the combination of mechanical and electronic access systems often provides the best solution.

New build Mechatronic access solution from the outset

In residential construction in particular, there is a growing trend toward using mechatronic access solutions. This reduces costs and increases convenience. Apartment doors are equipped with mechanical cylinders, while entry doors and commercial spaces are fitted with electronic access components. A combination key is used to lock all of them.

Renovation Retrofit of a mechatronic access control system

Is your facility showing its age, and does the mechanical locking system no longer meet current security standards? If so, now is the right time to consider a mechatronic access solution. The ability to quickly block access credentials and log access activity at key locations—such as entry doors or server rooms—is simply the better security solution.

Retrofitting a mechatronic access solution

Management is closing a business unit. This will free up some office space, which will now be leased to another company. Electronic AirKey cylinders are an ideal solution for managing this space flexibly and without tying up a lot of administrative resources.

The combi key

It connects the worlds

Both mechanical and electronic access components can be locked with just one key, the combi key. The combination key is available in different colours. The coloured marking makes it easier to assign the key.

It’s never too late

Electronics can also be retrofitted

Whether in existing doors or in extensions of the property, electronic access components can also be retrofitted into a mechanical master key system. This not only increases security, but also reduces recurring costs due to the reduced administrative effort.

Mitterbach mountain railways: high up with EVVA

All doors at the ski resort in Mitterbach were equipped with Xesar and 3KSplus. The combination of mechanics and electronics in the mountain railways resulted from the very different requirements of the numerous exterior doors in extreme weather situations. Combi keys ensure optimum use - they open both the extremely robust 3KSplus cylinders and all doors secured with Xesar.
