2N’s app now supports the brand’s Fortis electronic locks, aiming to create more cohesive mobile access throughout residential and office buildings.
The My2N app works with 2N’s offline and battery-powered Fortis Handle and Cylinder systems to eliminate the need for additional keys or access cards.
Another advantage of electronic locks, according to 2N, is that they avoid building work such as running cabling to the door.
The user experience varies only slightly depending on the device type, with the main difference being the communication technology used: intercoms and access readers use Bluetooth for mobile access, while Fortis locks use NFC.
Michal Kratochvíl, CEO of 2N, said: “There are plenty of moments every week when we move through a building with our hands full.
“You also always have your phone with you; it is easy to forget a key or card, but not your phone.
“Extending My2N to Fortis locks is therefore an important step towards using a single access credential for the entire journey through a building.”
Said to be broadly compatible with most European doors, 2N Fortis locks integrate with the brand’s ecosystem through 2N Access Commander.
While the Fortis Handle is an electronic door lever intended primarily for offices, meeting rooms, storage rooms and similar spaces, the Cylinder is intended for apartment doors.
My2N support can be added gradually to these locks, if they’re already installed, through firmware and app updates.
In the app itself, a resident can answer a video call from an intercom, remotely let a visitor into the building, or send them a time-limited QR code or PIN.
