Wireless lock integrations allow organizations to use Verkada’s cloud-based access control platform for applications, including:

Low- and medium-traffic interior doors like those for offices, classrooms and patient rooms.
Locks securing cabinets and storage lockers.
Locks installed on difficult-to-mount surfaces like glass, wood and steel.
Multifamily resident doors in large communities like apartment buildings.

Deploy access control at a greater scale
Wireless locks integrations allow organizations to connect their Verkada access control system directly to a door lock, simplifying installation and ongoing management while reducing cost.

Meet diverse installation requirements
The locking hardware supported by Verkada’s wireless lock integrations includes many models, styles and designs, providing the flexibility to meet various installation requirements and applications.

Easily manage everything from Command
Third-party locks are easy to manage via Verkada Command, giving organizations the flexibility and security of a cloud-based platform. Wireless locks are another access control device type within Command, meaning door events, alerts, schedules, access methods and user permissions are simple to manage and update in real time.

With all-in-one hardware and seamless Verkada integration, wireless locks are a cost-effective, easy-to-install solution that allows organizations to manage and configure more entrances in Verkada Command. This guide will provide a detailed overview of the four series of wireless locks Verkada integrates with, including key applications, features and integration requirements.

Schlage Engage Series

Schlage Engage series wireless locks are single-component cylindrical locks that support proximity and NFC credentials. Engage series wireless locks combine the lock, credential reader, door position sensor and request-to-exit switch in one unit, eliminating the need to install additional components or run wires to each opening.

Engage series locks can function in offline mode or online mode

Offline mode:
Locks communicate with Verkada Command through Wi-Fi and update with once- daily syncs. No hub or controller hardware is needed.

Online mode:
Locks communicate securely with the GWE hub and Verkada access controller. This real-time connectivity enables remote door unlocks and door lockdowns. The GWE hub has a communication range of up to 30 feet; see us.allegion.com/gateway for more details.

Locking functions
Schlage AD series locks include two configurations to support the needs of specific applications:

Storeroom function (function 70) is designed to ensure a door is always secure. In Storeroom mode, the lock behaves as follows:
- The outside lever is locked at all times.
- The inside lever is always unlocked for immediate egress.
- Valid credentials will temporarily release the lock so the door can be opened from the outside.
Office function (function 50) is designed to enable controlled lock state changes. This function is typically used for offices and classrooms. In Office mode, the lock behaves as follows:
- The outside lever can be locked or unlocked.
- The inside lever is always unlocked for immediate egress.
- The lock can be controlled through the Verkada Command override function, by pushing the button on the inside, or through a physical key.
- This mode supports Verkada lockdowns.

Schlage Control Series

Schlage Control series locks are designed specifically for multifamily residence doors. Control series wireless locks give residents security and convenience while providing building owners more visibility and control through Verkada Command. Control series locks are available as deadbolt, or interconnected (single-motion egress) locks, eliminating the need for keys. Schlage Control series locks support networked (gateway required), No-Tour and standalone applications.

With a network installation, locks connect to Command through an Ethernet (IP) gateway integration. With this integration, the lock communicates wirelessly to the GWE hub, which is connected to Ethernet and sends real-time updates to Verkada Command.
The gateway communication range is up to 30 feet; more details are available at us.allegion.com/gateway.

Control Series architecture overview

Ethernet (online, 410IP)

With No-Tour applications, Schlage smart and mobile credentials like the Schlage MT20W enrollment reader deliver updates to devices without a network connection.

Key use cases include multifamily residential doors in apartments, dormitories or retirement communities.
Supported locks include the Control Deadbolt (BE467F) and interconnected lock (FE410F).
Battery life: Up to 1 1/2 years (offline mode), up to 1 year (BLE credential enabled).
