Re: [Coworking] Who's shopping for electronic door locks?

2015-09-16 Thread Barbara Sprenger
Hi Nicole,
This looked interesting, so we called the manufacturer. They’re coming out with 
a new version next year. This one doesn’t quite make it, at least for our 
application. You have to download new member access numbers separately to each 
door lock through the app on your phone. There’s no wifi access yet, which 
would let you just program the system all together. Only 127 access codes per 
lock — we rarely have less than 200 active members. No way to open the doors 
remotely.

We use Paxton locks. They’re battery-powered and wifi-enables. We put them on 
every office, conference room and entry door, so we can track usage 24/7 — 
helps a lot with making a center sustainable so you can maximize usage and 
revenue. (And we can take them with us when we leave a space!) They brought 
cost down a lot (they were about 15% of other systems), but now price is going 
up so we’re looking around.

One workaround could be posting on the door, “Doors to remain unlocked during

they can't fulfill our order until after the new year.  Even more 
importantly, our local fire marshal thinks the Lockitron is a TERRIBLE 
idea.  We can't have our door locked while anyone is inside - egress has to

Just exchanged emails with someone from Lockitron - originally they said my 
order would be shipped "in October" but when I went back to the website to 
check the status, found broken links and couldn't find my order.  They said 
the website will be fixed "very soon" and all dates have been pushed back 
but I should receive my order "very soon" - huh.  :-)  Only folks who 
ordered very early - during kickstarter days - have received their orders.  
My order was placed in early September and I'll be lucky to get it by the

Re: [Coworking] Who's shopping for electronic door locks?

2014-10-14 Thread Jacob Sayles
Yeah they are working through a lot of manufacturing issues but they are
being nice and transparent about it.

On this topic we are talking here at Office Nomads about if we want to
continue to develop the lock I built for The Red Victorian this summer.
I'd love to see a solid open source solution with a modular hardware
design.  If anyone is interested in working on this with me let me know.

Re: [Coworking] Who's shopping for electronic door locks?

2014-07-27 Thread Jorge Vargas
Hey Andy,

We have that same problem here our front door is glass. Our solution is
good and works however it's terrible software. ok not terrible but outdated
well not outdated but I"m a techy so it's bad for me. Anyhow the whole
installation was about 1500USD and the keycards go at about 2-3USD each, we
got 100 so that's like 1200 for the hardware plus installation. I'm sure
you can get your local distributor to make a quote
http://rbh-access.com/products/integra32/software. With proximity readers
and a

the good
- We don't have to deal with access.
- New staffer can greed people by their name cause the software says so and
so logged in.
- You can set access times for everyone
- can grow A LOT. It's what's used in our building (16 stories about 50 or
more readers and this is an small installation)

the bad
- if there is a power outage (no matter how minimal) your door will be wide
open.
- Some members leave and never turn down their key which is a lost.
- It's desktop software that works only on windows. Although I just noticed
they have a web something... will look into that.
- No API of any kind, data is stored in access YUK.

2014-07-16 Thread Kenton Hansen
We lucked out with our building. It was used as a realty office before, so 
it had a electronic keypad lock from Simplex

I like it overall.

   - Pros:
  - Made for the thin doors like you're describing
  - six digit codes are all that it takes to open the door, no key, no 
  fob, no additional cost
  - programmable actions like "If a code from this group is entered on 
  a weekday between 7am and 9am, unlock the door" and "auto lock at 5pm" so 
  the space is open even if I'm on vacation, and it doesn't stay open on a 
  holiday.
  - I have a csv file in my dropbox so I can send anyone a keycode for 
  any reason if I want (as long as I keep track of who has which)
  - 4 year on the same watch battery
   - Cons
  - The software for mine requires a physical connection to the lock 
  (so I just generate 150 codes at a time, makes lock maintenance a 
quarterly 
  project). I think the current locks have wifi.
  - the software for mine only runs on Windows XP

2014-07-14 Thread Jacob Sayles
For something like that Andy you probably want to focus on if the door jam
can hold and electric strike.  They are easier to deal with actually but
residential products focus on the deadbolt because that is a standard
residential doors.  We have a lot more to work with in commercial spaces.

As for codes vs RFID vs physical keys vs phones: It's important to
understand the advantages and disadvantages each brings to the situation.
 The RedVic need codes we can email people like I described, but I'm
generally against codes as they are too easy to copy, pass on, overhear,
etc.  Keys are too hard to revoke and change so at Office Nomads we go with
RFID.  Phone solutions I'm sure work great here in tech savvy San Francisco
so I'm not surprised at all they work great for you Toby.  I wonder how
that would work even in Seattle and it makes me wonder what I would come up
with if I looked at the phones of every member that had a key.  We already
have an RFID solution so that would mostly be academic.

Re: [Coworking] Who's shopping for electronic door locks?

2014-07-14 Thread Andy Soell
As long as we're back on electronic locks, we're looking for a good 
solution for our new location. The existing door is glass with a narrow 
stile 
 
frame that won't accommodate a standard deadbolt sized solution. If you 
search for door-code style locks for door like this on Amazon, you get a 
lot of results but none of them with enough purchases to figure out if 
they're good or not. Angel mentioned one earlier in this thread that would 
work, but it wasn't very favorably reviewed by her. Does anyone have any 
tips on a door code lock like this that they would recommend? I definitely 
want something with easily programmable codes we can give our members and 
not fobs or smartphone integration.

2014-07-14 Thread Jacob Sayles
I'm down here in San Francisco now, knee deep in renovations for The Red
Victorian  and working on their door lock solution.
 We don't want to use any smart phone systems (Kevo, Lockitron, August,
etc) because we can't know for sure what kind of phone our guests will
have, if they will even have phones, or if they are charged when they
arrive.  We want to go with a personalized key code that can be generated
and emailed to them using the reservation system we built.  For that we are
hooking up the existing electric strike on the front gate to a raspberry pi
and a wiegand keypad.  The next bit of magic will be to hook up each room
with a Kwikset SmartCode lock and push the generated code to the given
room, and turn off the previous occupants code.

The advantages of going with the Kwikset are that it can use the existing
lock tumblers so we can keep the large amount of room keys we already have.
 Also at around $120-$150 the price is right for outfitting 20+ doors.
 People have been getting really excited about the idea of outfitting each
door with a raspberry pi but by the time we get power, servos, and a
durable enclosure hooked up it's going to be a lot more expensive.  One pi
at the front door calling all the shots is all we need.  Of course I have
to figure out how to send the key codes to each door so there is more R&D
needed.  I'm also working to figure out the Wiegand protocol to hook up the
keypad.  If anyone has played with this, please reach out.

at Coworking Week next month. They don't charge any fees for ³keys² , so as
a coworking space you don't need to worry about can you manager 10 members,
or 2000. If your really interested in learning more & some hands on time,
come on down to SF for the Shared Economy Hackathon which is totally FREE &
sponsored by Lockitron & Apigee. Register for FREE SF Coworking Week tickets

The one thing I would recommend, if you're looking at Kevo, is to make sure you 
understand how their "ekey" pricing model works. Unless I'm grossly 
misunderstanding, it looks like the way it works is that you have to pay for 
packs of virtual "keys" to give to people before they can unlock it with their 
phone. It seems a bit ridiculous to me that you have to pay for the hardware 
and then pay again for each user you want to be able to unlock the hardware. If 
you have a lot of members, the cost for the Kevo system could end up being 
quite a bit higher than expected if you were only looking at the cost of the 
hardware.

RE: [Coworking] Who's shopping for electronic door locks?

2010-10-22 Thread Joel Bennett
Jesse- It's worked fine for our purposes.  I read the same reviews and found
most of the issues were reported more than a year ago before they tweaked
some things and expanded their product line.  That said, there are some
limitations to how much you can do with them.  For example: PRO: I love that
I can set up scheduled events, like turn a light on at dusk and have it run
until 10p for our folks who come in after hours to work.  CON: I would like
to set it up that the doors automatically unlock at 8a and lock at 5p (and
require passcode entry) M-F. but the system doesn't allow scheduled lockouts
at this time.  All this said, for us it was great to have individual
passcodes for everyone, me to have access to check on/manage the space
remotely from a pc or my smartphone, and generally feel more connected.  I
was also glad not to be passing copies of keys around or managing "lost"
keys.

 

I'd give it 4 stars (out of 5).more for what I wish was there additionally
then any huge issues we have had with it.

 

One more thing. the info I found online overstates the monthly investment
you actually make.  I think they are offering your first 2 months free
before charging you a nominal $9.53 (fee+tax) for the "mobile" access.  Many
websites are using their old rates of $12.99 in their write-ups.  

 

Would be happy to provide more detail if you need it.

 

Thanks & God Bless,

We went with a Schlagelink lock system that allows me to link it with our
wireless internet and monitor entry to the building and see who is using the
space.  We also have a light module connected to it as well which allows us
to turn on a sentry light after hours.  I plan to also purchase a thermostat
to link into the system to monitor our usage there and make sure we're
energy efficient.  The best feature is being able to link in with my phone
and control all of it when I can't be there, even to the point of unlocking
the front door for a plumber while I am 100 miles away at a conference!

At BootHK in Hong Kong, we are in the process of hacking together our
own RFID door lock which checks membership database and logs entry
data.

The RFID system we chose is based on the ISO14443C Sony Felica
standard, which is also used by the ubiquitous "Octopus" card. The
card is used for small purchase and public transportation payments in
Hong Kong, and is carried by almost everyone in HKG. It is also a card
system widely used in China, India, Singapore, Thailand, Philadelphia,
Bagladesh, and Japan.

Let me know if anyone is interested in more information about our system.

RE: [Coworking] Who's shopping for electronic door locks?

2010-10-21 Thread Jesse L. Jones
I would be interested in hearing how the Schlage Link system is working for
you. I've researched that product line and read a lot of mixed reviews
regarding reliability and ease of use.

We went with a Schlagelink lock system that allows me to link it with our
wireless internet and monitor entry to the building and see who is using the
space.  We also have a light module connected to it as well which allows us
to turn on a sentry light after hours.  I plan to also purchase a thermostat
to link into the system to monitor our usage there and make sure we're
energy efficient.  The best feature is being able to link in with my phone
and control all of it when I can't be there, even to the point of unlocking
the front door for a plumber while I am 100 miles away at a conference!

Hello,

 

The topic of electronic (RFID) door locks has come up a few times and I
wanted to revisit it.  Who out there now is looking for a solution?  Who is
keeping an eye out for something cool to come along and interested if one

We have a normal alarm system and everyone has their own access codes...seems
