Is now a good time for local facilities to adopt networked, wireless access control systems?
Gallagher Security has launched a new integration that connects ASSA ABLOY IP locks directly to its Command Centre access control software. The system is now available for deployment across facilities in the United States.
Why it matters
The integration reduces the installation costs and complexity of physical security by eliminating the need for extensive door controllers and hard-wired cabling in difficult environments. It also centralizes visibility into device health and access logs.
The integration supports the IN120 battery-powered Wi-Fi lock and the IN220 PoE IP lock models, allowing them to communicate directly with the Command Centre platform. This move targets the reduction of infrastructure overhead compared to traditional multi-component wired access systems.
The players
Gallagher Security
A provider of integrated security and access control software and hardware systems for commercial and government facilities.
ASSA ABLOY
A global manufacturer of locking solutions, access control hardware, and entrance automation technology.
The details
By removing the requirement for door controllers and intensive cabling, the platform utilizes local intelligence embedded within the ASSA ABLOY locks to maintain security operations. Each device maintains access privileges and scheduling independently, ensuring that systems continue to function even during network outages. Administrators manage all credentials and monitoring for both lock types through a single interface.
Timeline
The integration became available in the United States on September 30, 2026.
Market Landscape
This integration follows the industry-wide shift toward leveraging existing Power-over-Ethernet infrastructure to replace legacy, proprietary cabling in physical security. By centralizing management of disparate IP-connected hardware, firms are increasingly moving away from closed, hardware-heavy access control models.
Operators in facilities with significant wiring constraints should review the hardware compatibility requirements for the IN120 and IN220 models. Evaluating this integration can help reduce capital expenditure on low-voltage cabling when retrofitting older sites.
The takeaway
Centralizing security management through native IP connectivity removes persistent overhead associated with legacy wiring. Facilities managers should track device health and event logs within their current Command Centre instances to assess potential labor savings in maintenance.
