Pointcentral, an all-in-one smart rental property automation platform, has launched what is thought to be the industry’s first online multi-credential Z-Wave lock fully integrated with perimeter access and remote property management.
The solution, which made its debut recently, enables residents to use a single credential, such as a badge, to enter the community and unlock their apartment, while property managers retain the flexibility to issue PIN codes for self-guided tours, vendors, or residents who prefer keypad access.
Developed in collaboration with Yale, part of Fortune Brands Innovations, the new 800 Series Z-Wave Long Range mortise lock merges RFID badge access with Z-Wave remote management—delivering a unified, single-key solution designed specifically for multifamily communities.
The lock supports RFID access badges, including prox cards, key fobs, and tags; optional concurrent keypad PIN code access; Z-Wave Long Range connectivity; full integration with perimeter access controls; and, centralised remote management via the Pointcentral Dashboard.
“This is about simplifying access for residents while giving operators a single, unified, and flexible system to manage,” said Matt Correnti, Head of Enabling Technologies at Pointcentral. “By merging RFID credentials with Z-Wave remote management, we’re pushing the market forward with a lock solution designed specifically for the realities of multifamily living.”
“Partnering with Pointcentral allows us to bring Yale’s trusted access solutions directly into the multifamily space in a way that is seamless and intuitive for both residents and property managers,” said Garrett Lovejoy, SVP and General Manager of Connected Security at Fortune Brands Innovations. “We’re excited to help redefine what secure, convenient access looks like for modern communities.”
Unlike traditional access control systems that require separate infrastructure for perimeter and unit access, Pointcentral’s new multi-credential Z-Wave lock integrates directly into its smart property automation platform. Property teams can remotely manage credentials, monitor access, and streamline operations—all from a centralised dashboard.
