Retirement Community Access Control Modernization
Client Type: Retirement Community
Client Overview
A large retirement community with over 1,000 residents requiring secure access control across 700 entry points.
The Challenge
The client operated an outdated on-premise access control system that was no longer supported and lacked modern features. With 700 access-controlled entry points serving over 1,000 residents, the system needed to be modernized to a cloud-based solution while maintaining security and operational continuity. The complexity of managing access across multiple buildings, common areas, and residential units required a comprehensive solution that could scale and integrate with existing infrastructure.
Our Solution
Stonos Solutions served as the consulting partner, managing the entire project lifecycle from discovery through commissioning. Our team conducted comprehensive discovery to understand existing infrastructure, operational requirements, and resident needs. We designed a modern cloud-based access control solution utilizing Schlage AD400s, ASSA Abloy IN220s, and IN100s.
Working closely with our manufacturing partners, we developed solutions to bridge legacy systems with modern cloud technology. We created detailed bill of materials, labor estimates, and project management plans. Our team handled all programming and commissioning, ensuring seamless integration and minimal disruption to residents.
