Brivo announced the availability of the Schlage XE360 Series with RealSync lock within the Brivo Security Suite, providing continuous 24/7 Wi-Fi connectivity across commercial doors. The integration can reduce the cost per door by up to 70% compared with traditional hardwired systems, according to the company.

Bringing electronic access control to secondary and interior openings has historically been cost-prohibitive due to the cabling, external power supplies, door controllers and labor required. Those openings account for approximately 75% of doors in a typical facility, Brivo said.

The Schlage XE360 Series with RealSync uses existing building Wi-Fi infrastructure to maintain a continuous cloud connection rather than relying on periodic scheduled check-ins or proprietary gateways. Brivo said remote commands and access updates can execute in less than 10 seconds.

The integration provides persistent connectivity for remote lock and unlock commands, on-demand audit logs and immediate door event alerts, including forced or propped door notifications. It also connects directly to existing Wi-Fi networks, eliminating dedicated control panels, proprietary wireless gateways and expensive wiring runs.

Brivo said the integration can reduce upfront capital costs and installation complexity by up to 70% per door. The Schlage XE360 Series also uses FleX Module architecture, allowing existing doors to be upgraded from offline to real-time online locks by replacing the internal module rather than the entire lockset.

The locks provide up to one year of battery life using standard AA batteries while maintaining continuous network connectivity, according to Brivo.

The integration also brings management of perimeter hardwired openings, interior wireless doors, video intelligence and visitor management into 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.”

Expanding Access Control Across Facilities

Brivo said the integration gives security integrators a way to approach facility security across more openings, including 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 organizations across Western Canada through its Accesio division, described the integration as “a major operational advancement for both integrators and facility managers.”

“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,” Ridgeway said. “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 the Schlage XE360 Series with RealSync is available now. The solution is being exhibited alongside other Brivo Security Suite products and features at GSX in Atlanta Sept. 14-16 at booth 3525.
