dormakaba’s Saffire LX-M Removes the Access Hassles of Multifamily Living for Rhapsody Property Management Services
dormakaba’s Saffire LX-M was the chosen access solution by Rhapsody Property Management Services for its sophisticated radio-frequency ID (RFID) technology in a contemporary design, ease of use, flexibility and security. The Saffire LX-M Series enhances access control convenience for residents and improves operational efficiency for property managers.
“When it comes to access control, our residents are mostly focused on ease of use and security,” says Rob Martin, senior vice president of Rhapsody Property Management Services. “We wanted to provide one-key access for residents through an integrated system that is easily maintained and reliable.”
The Saffire LX-M Series mortise locking solution was installed in Rhapsody Property’s Central Parc property in Laval, Quebec, Canada. The property is composed of six buildings and a community center. Central Parc’s access solutions had to provide security and convenience.
“The Saffire system provides several benefits,” Martin says. “We appreciate the ease of use, integration and dormakaba’s customer service. Its quality surpasses all its peers. As with any new luxury product in the market, details are important, and the Saffire system allows us to have an elegant and functional aesthetic in a curated living experience.”
Available in a suite of versatile models, Saffire harmonizes with progressive building technology and amenities, including the option of issuing mobile, fob, wristband or keycard credentials.
Rhapsody chose dormakaba’s Saffire LX Series locking solution for Central Parc for its key advantages, which include:
- Mobile access, which allows residents to use their smart devices to enter their residence, as well as perimeter, elevator, parking and other common areas, securely.
- Sophisticated RFID technology in a contemporary design.
- Elegant fascia colors, finishes and lever selections, making it versatile to complement any décor.
- Low-maintenance design, as the lock operates with a completely sealed, contactless reader, and batteries last up to 2 years under normal operation.
- Complete scalability, including panic bars, parking gates and electronic access.
The Saffire LX-M is managed by dormakaba Community access management software. Community is an intuitive access management software that allows managers to manage access to residences, amenities, common areas and perimeters easily from a single platform. It also provides the convenience of RFID credentials and BLE mobile-access keys, with no need for additional software.
