Kindoo fully integrated smartphone controlled door handle

Kindoo, an innovator in turning any electric door into a smartphone-operated smart door, featured its battery-operated door handle with built-in access control functionality for secure wireless entry at ALOA.

The solution enables locksmiths to expand their offering and grow recurring monthly revenue (RMR) with a familiar door handle mechanism that is smart and cloud-managed. Designed for commercial and residential applications, the Kindoo battery-powered door handle with integrated access control installs on a standard 161 cylindrical door prep for familiar lockset installation.

The solution delivers smartphone-based electronic access management without requiring wiring, external power supplies, an access control panel, or complex IT expertise.

“Locksmiths already have the skills and tools needed to install Kindoo products, making it easy to offer customers modern smartphone-based access control,” said Michael Chaftari, Partner at Kindoo. “What makes the opportunity especially compelling is the ability to generate RMR long after the initial installation.”

The Kindoo wireless solution enables users to manage and grant access directly from their smartphones while giving locksmiths and integrators access to RMR and ongoing customer expansion opportunities.
