Launching 2026 | Lock Debut at ISC West

PointCentral, the all-in-one smart rental property automation platform, today announced the industry’s first online multi-credential Z-Wave® lock fully integrated with perimeter access and remote property management. The solution 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
  
  


• 
  Centralized remote management via the PointCentral Dashboard
  
  

One Badge. One Platform. Total Property Access.

“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.”

Built for Modern Multifamily Operations

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 centralized dashboard.

Key benefits include:

• 
  Unified access experience for residents
  
  


• 
  Streamlined “No-Tour” resident onboarding
  
  


• 
  Support for self-guided tours via PIN codes
  
  

Lock Debut at ISC West | Launching in 2026

The new multi-credential Z-Wave lock will be showcased at the Alarm.com booth at ISC West, March 23–27, 2026. A limited early release will follow for select multifamily partners.

Multifamily owners and operators interested in early access are encouraged to sign up for updates and join the priority list for the first release.
