Historically, bringing electronic access control to secondary or interior openings—which account for approximately 75% of doors in a typical facility—has been cost-prohibitive due to extensive cabling, external power supplies, door controllers, and labour.

Unlike conventional wireless locks that rely on periodic, scheduled "check-ins" or proprietary gateways, the Schlage XE360 Series with Realsync maintains a continuous cloud connection using existing building Wifi infrastructure. Remote commands and access updates execute in less than 10 seconds.

Some of the benefits of this Brivo - Schlage integration include:

• True 24/7 persistent connectivity: Delivers instant remote lock and unlock execution, on-demand audit logs, and immediate door event alerts (such as forced or propped doors) without waiting for interval syncs.
• Streamlined infrastructure: Connects directly over existing Wifi networks, eliminating the need for dedicated control panels, proprietary wireless gateways, or expensive wiring runs.
• Up to 70% cost savings per door: Reduces upfront capital costs and installation complexity, making full-facility access control for every door economically viable.
• Flex module architecture: Easily upgrade existing doors from offline to real-time online locks by replacing the internal module rather than the entire lockset.
• Battery performance: Full year of battery life on standard AA batteries while remaining continuously connected to the network.
• Unified security operations: Centralises management of perimeter hardwired openings, interior wireless doors, video intelligence, and visitor management within a single Brivo Security Suite interface.

“For decades, security managers have had to compromise on which doors to secure because traditional hardwired access control simply didn't scale across an entire facility,” said Steve Van Till, Founder and President of Brivo. “The Schlage XE360 Series with Realsync integrated with the Brivo Security Suite eliminates the cost and infrastructure, making real-time visibility and policy enforcement achievable for every single door opening.”

Transforming access deployment

The integration empowers security integrators to approach facility security holistically, transitioning clients away from securing only primary entrances toward securing all critical interior openings—such as IT closets, administrative offices, and utility spaces.

Mike Ridgeway, Business Development Manager for Action Security Group Inc., an Alberta, Canada-based security integrator serving commercial and institutional organisations across Western Canada through its Accesio division, calls the Brivo-Schlage XE360 integration “a major operational advancement for both integrators and facility managers.”

Adds Ridgeway, “The Schlage XE360 Series with Realsync gives us a new way to extend enterprise access control to more openings without the infrastructure and complexity traditionally required. For Action Security Group and our customers, it means faster deployment, greater flexibility, and a scalable path to bring more of the facility into the Brivo ecosystem with real-time visibility and control.”

The Brivo integration with Schlage will be exhibited along with other Brivo Security Suite products and features at the GSX show in Atlanta next week.
