Simplify and Scale Access Control with Rhombus x ASSA ABLOY

We’re thrilled to announce our integration with ASSA ABLOY Aperio wireless devices, making it easier than ever to extend access control across your entire organization. By combining Rhombus cloud-managed access control with ASSA ABLOY’s industry-leading wireless lock technology, you can now secure any door—from main entrances to storage rooms—without the hassle of running new wiring or managing separate systems.  

This integration changes how organizations approach physical security by linking door events and video in real-time, eliminating the manual work of correlating data across disconnected systems. With this integration, organizations can effortlessly expand secure access while maintaining the centralized management, simplicity, and scalability that Rhombus customers already rely on. 

About ASSA ABLOY Aperio Wireless Devices 

ASSA ABLOY Aperio wireless devices are the easiest way to extend the reach of your access control system. The Aperio line includes battery-powered cylinders, locks, and door handles that bring enterprise-grade security to doors that were previously difficult or expensive to secure. 

The platform uses wireless communication (IEEE 802.15.4) between the lock and an Aperio hub to provide real-time communication with the access control system, simplifying installation and reducing costs. 

With an open architecture designed for seamless integration, the Aperio line works with Rhombus access control to bring any existing door into your unified security ecosystem—all managed from a single pane of glass. No need to rip out existing infrastructure; Aperio devices work wirelessly, making deployment faster and less disruptive. 

“With this integration, customers can now extend the power of Rhombus into doors and areas where wired access control simply isn’t practical. Pairing ASSA ABLOY’s industry-leading Aperio wireless locks with the Rhombus cloud platform gives a flexible, scalable, and truly unified approach to security. From schools to hospitals, manufacturers to enterprises, this partnership is further enabling organizations to manage access, video, sensors, and AI-driven intelligence through a single, cloud-based experience; no on-prem servers or complex deployments required.”

What This Integration Enables 

Extend access control to more doors.

Using ASSA ABLOY’s wireless Aperio locks, cylinders, and handles, organizations can now secure locations that were previously impractical or too expensive to include in their access control system. Interior offices, storage rooms, legacy buildings— Whether you’re securing 10 doors or 10,000 across multiple facilities, every door becomes manageable. 

Manage access seamlessly from anywhere.

The Rhombus Console gives you complete control from desktop or mobile. Whether you’re at your desk or managing security on the go, you can configure locks, assign schedules, grant temporary access, and review events anytime, anywhere. 

Gain instant video insights into access events.

See exactly who accessed what door, when, and what happened before and after—all from a single interface. Door events and video are now linked in real-time, giving you complete context without toggling between systems or manually correlating timestamps. 

Trigger automated lockdowns.

In an emergency, trigger lockdowns across all integrated Aperio devices with a single command. Keep people and buildings secure during critical situations while maintaining visibility through your camera network. 

“Rhombus brings a modern, cloud-native approach that makes it easier for organizations to unify and manage security across their entire environment. Through this integration, customers can experience the flexibility of Aperio locks alongside the simplicity and scalability of the Rhombus platform—removing the barriers of traditional access control and enabling smarter, more connected facilities.”
