ACCESS CONTROL
Parent Company of Keyscan, RCI and E-Plex
Access control solutions from dormakaba
Designed for environments where access, accountability, and reliability matter.
Dormakaba provides access control solutions built for situations where security decisions carry real consequences. These systems help manage who can enter a space, when access is allowed, and how activity is tracked, all while reducing risk and simplifying day to day operations.
Dormakaba solutions are used in environments where access cannot be left to chance, including healthcare, education, commercial facilities, multi-family properties, and secure workplaces.
In these settings, reliability, auditability, and ease of management are essential, not optional.
As the manufacturer’s representative, Chartrand Associates helps you determine which dormakaba solutions fit your specific application, how they should be deployed, and what it takes to support them long after installation. We work alongside you to ensure the system performs as expected in real world conditions, not just on paper.
From electronic access control components to integrated locking solutions, dormakaba provides a strong foundation for secure access. Chartrand Associates helps you apply that foundation with confidence, clarity, and ongoing support.
Watch a brief overview of how dormakaba access control solutions support secure, well-managed facilities.
E-Plex Electronic Keyless Locks
Keyless access control designed for flexibility, accountability, and everyday reliability.
Not every access control need requires a fully networked system. Many applications call for strong electronic locking that installs quickly, supports auditing, and works on its own or alongside a larger access control platform. dormakaba’s E-Plex electronic locks are designed for these scenarios, offering secure keyless access without unnecessary complexity.
E-Plex Applications and Use Cases
E-Plex solutions are well suited for environments where access changes frequently, accountability matters, and multiple users require controlled entry. Common applications include healthcare facilities, education settings, multi family housing, commercial spaces, storage areas, and shared use environments.
With E-Plex, access is managed at the door. There is no need for complex wiring or network infrastructure, making it a practical option for both new installations and retrofit projects. Built in audit trails provide visibility into who accessed a space and when, helping teams maintain oversight without adding day to day friction.
Designed to Scale With Your Access Strategy
E-Plex electronic locks are designed to work on their own or as part of a broader access control strategy. When needed, E-Plex integrates with Keyscan Aurora software, enabling centralized management, credential control, and reporting across doors and facilities. This allows teams to start with standalone keyless access and scale into a fully managed system without replacing hardware
E-Plex is often chosen when you need:
- Keyless access without network complexity
- Easy credential changes without rekeying
- Local audit trails for accountability
- Reliable performance in daily use
Eplex can operate:
- As a standalone keyless lock
- Integrated with Keyscan Aurora for centralized control
- Alongside existing access control infrastructure
ROLE OF CHARTRAND ASSOCIATES
Chartrand Associates helps you evaluate whether E-Plex is the right fit for your application, how it should be implemented in your environment, and how it fits into your broader access control strategy. This helps teams make informed decisions and avoid costly changes later.
If you’re considering keyless access and want to confirm whether E-Plex fits your environment, Chartrand Associates can help you evaluate the best approach.
The Software That Makes It All Work
Access control hardware relies on software to manage who has access, when access is granted, and how permissions change over time. The right platform keeps access simple for smaller environments while giving larger facilities the structure and oversight they need to scale.
LUNA SOFTWARE
For small sites or single door applications
Best when you want dependable access control without IT involvement or system complexity.
LUNA is designed for situations where you need reliable access control without the overhead of a large system. It gives small businesses and simple environments a clear, affordable way to manage who has access, without adding complexity.
Whether you are securing a single door or a handful of entry points, LUNA keeps access straightforward, controlled, and easy to manage.
What this means in practice:
- Manage up to six doors using one simple software platform
- Control both wired door hardware and select E-Plex offline electronic locks
- Assign users, set access levels, and manage schedules without IT support
- Track activity and access history for accountability and audits
- Keep costs predictable with no licensing fees for the software
LUNA is ideal when you want professional access control that works quietly in the background, without turning into a larger system than your space requires.
LUNA also supports select E-Plex offline locks, allowing you to manage credentials and audits using the same software.
AURORA SOFTWARE
For large or growing facilities
Best when you need centralized visibility and control across people, doors, and systems.
Aurora is built for environments where access control cannot live in silos. It gives you one system to manage doors, people, and permissions across entire buildings or multiple sites, all from a single platform.
As your needs grow, Aurora grows with you. You can manage hundreds or thousands of doors, support different types of locks, and connect access control with the systems you already rely on.
What this means in practice:
- Centralized control across buildings and locations from one dashboard
- Seamless integration with cameras, visitor systems, elevators, and identity platforms
- Support for wired, wireless, and offline locks, including E-Plex, using the same credentials
- Flexibility to expand without rebuilding your system or adding unnecessary hardware
Aurora is designed for organizations that need visibility, consistency, and confidence as their facilities evolve.
