About Locks
Electronic and wireless smart locks combine the lock cylinder, the credential reader, and the access control logic into a single device at the door — no panel-room wiring, no hard-wired reader, no electric strike. The lock itself decides whether to open. Two distinct manufacturer platforms cover the bulk of Chicago commercial installations:
Schlage XE360 series — manufactured by Schlage, part of Allegion. Mortise, cylindrical, and exit-trim wireless lock variants on the Allegion Zentra cloud platform with multi-tech credential reading (cards, fobs, BLE mobile, NFC, and PIN). Pairs with Schlage RC-series reader-controllers (RC11, RC15, RCK15) that can also serve as Zentra credential-enrollment stations.
ASSA ABLOY Accentra nexTouch family — manufactured by ASSA ABLOY ACCENTRA (formerly Yale Commercial — rebranded June 2023). Sectional Mortise, Cylindrical (NTB613), Deadbolt, Interconnected, and Keypad Exit Trim (NTT610 / NTT620) standalone keypad locks. Some variants — notably the Deadbolt — operate exclusively on the ASSA ABLOY ACCENTRA Digital cloud platform for multifamily and senior living portfolios.
These are competing platforms from different parent companies, not interchangeable parts of one ecosystem. Vidimost installs both — the right pick depends on the door type, the size of the credential population, the network architecture, and whether the property already standardizes on Schlage / Allegion or ASSA ABLOY hardware.
Frequently Asked Questions
When does a wireless / electronic lock beat a traditional reader + electric strike?
For doors where running new low-voltage cable to a panel room is impractical (retrofit projects, historic buildings, leased space), electronic locks dramatically reduce installation time and cost. They are also the right architecture for buildings with many doors and few users per door — multifamily residential unit doors, hotel guest rooms, classrooms, dorm rooms — where panel-per-pair architecture would require too much wiring infrastructure.
What is the Allegion Zentra platform?
Zentra is Allegion's cloud-based access management system that integrates with Schlage XE360 wireless locks and Schlage RC-series reader-controllers (RC11 / RC15 / RCK15). A property managed in Zentra can have wired reader-controllers at storefront / lobby doors and wireless XE360 locks at interior doors, all on the same cloud admin dashboard. Allegion published the Zentra + Schlage XE360 integration in 2025.
What is the ASSA ABLOY ACCENTRA platform — and how is it different from Yale?
ASSA ABLOY ACCENTRA is the current brand name for the commercial-locks product line previously sold as Yale Commercial / Yale nexTouch. ASSA ABLOY rebranded the entire Yale Commercial portfolio to ASSA ABLOY ACCENTRA on June 20, 2023. The hardware is the same — only the brand name changed. ACCENTRA Digital is the matching cloud admin platform for multifamily and senior living portfolios on Accentra hardware.
Can I mix Schlage XE360 and ASSA ABLOY Accentra nexTouch locks in the same building?
Mechanically yes — both platforms install on standard ANSI-prep doors. But they are competing platforms from different parent companies (Schlage = Allegion; nexTouch = ASSA ABLOY) and they do not federate into a single admin dashboard. For most projects, picking one platform across the whole building is the right call. We help select per project at site walkthrough based on what the property already runs and which credential ecosystem the building wants to commit to long-term.
Can a Schlage RC reader-controller serve as an enrollment station for XE360 locks?
Yes. The Schlage RC11, RC15, and RCK15 reader-controllers can enroll new credentials directly into the Zentra platform — present a card, fob, or mobile credential at the RC reader, and the system propagates rights to the Schlage XE360 wireless locks across the property. This eliminates the need for a separate desktop USB enrollment reader when the property already has at least one RC unit. (Note: this applies only to the Schlage / Zentra ecosystem — Accentra nexTouch locks have their own admin workflow.)
Do wireless locks need batteries?
Yes. Electronic locks operate on internal batteries. Schlage XE360 typical battery life is 12–24 months. The Accentra nexTouch Cylindrical (NTB613) runs on 4 AA alkaline batteries with a low-battery blink indicator and supports 9V emergency-tap power for one-time entry when batteries are depleted. Cloud-managed configurations (Zentra, ACCENTRA Digital) report battery levels to the admin dashboard so replacement happens during scheduled maintenance, not as an emergency.
