  • Latch is designed as an entire system for access control, built for every door in your building or portfolio. In traditional access control, buildings were forced to install entire closets of access panel equipment, spools of cable, and a multitude of card readers to complete a functional system. The Latch R combines a reader, door controller, and management system into one simple product, directly connecting to motion detectors, request to exit devices, lobby doors, parking gates, elevators, and office turnstiles. You can also use Wiegand, Ethernet, or Wifi to connect the Latch R to a larger system anywhere you need it.

  • The Latch R uses Bluetooth, Ethernet, and Wifi, and it's internal memory to handle credential syncing and storage. In environments without an internet connection, the Latch R can be seamlessly updated via Bluetooth whenever someone connects with their phone. When the Latch R is set up with an internet connection, it allows you to receive alerts, process images, and push changes in real-time.

  • Our web interface for property managers makes it easy to do everything you need to do from the computer you already have. Add and remove users, share guest access, and easily manage everything at your building.

  • The Latch R works indoors and outdoors and can function as a standalone system or as part of an existing system using its built in Wiegand communications interface. Whether you want to control a gate, garage, elevator, turnstile, or door, just connect to power and start managing access. You can use the Latch R as a standalone product or combine it with other Latch products to form a complete access system for every door.
