Tekapo Access

Tap the card – the door opens.

Tekapo Access consists of a card reader at the door, a Danalock on the inside that controls the lock, and an RFID card in your pocket. Permissions are managed in an admin interface.

Features

Smart locking for the doors you already have.

Tap to open

An RFID card against the reader at the door. A small display on the reader shows whether the door will open.

Danalock on the inside

A Danalock is fitted on the inside of the door and controls the lock. The door keeps its existing lock and keys.

Admin interface

Decide who may open which doors, and block a person or a card when access should end.

Works without a network

The reader stores a signed permission list locally and decides by itself when the card is tapped. The door opens even if the internet is down for a while.

The same card as in Barkassan

The card number is taken from Barkassan. A member needs just one card, for both the door and the bar.

Log and traceability

See who opened which door and when, per card, person and door.

In everyday use

Access that suits the people.

Permissions for each person

The person in charge manages each person's permissions in the admin interface, while the card becomes the easy way in.

The big picture

Part of the Tekapo ecosystem.

Together with Barkassan, the same RFID card can open the door and pay at the bar. Membership, till and access in one well-integrated system.

Frequently asked questions

Answers to what people usually ask.

Do we have to change our locks?

No. A Danalock is fitted on the inside of the door and controls the lock that is already there. The assessment is made door by door, so tell us what type of lock you have.

How does the door open?

The card reader outside the door reads the card and checks it against a local permission list. If the card is authorised, a command is sent to the lock via a local controller.

What happens if the internet is down?

The reader uses the most recently fetched permission list and opens for authorised cards. Events are stored and sent once the network is back. If the list is too old, new openings are denied until the reader has synced.

What happens if a card is lost?

You block the card or remove the permission in the admin interface. The change reaches the reader at the next sync.

The same card as in Barkassan?

Yes. The card number is taken from Barkassan, so the same RFID card can both open the door and pay at the bar.

What does it cost?

A monthly subscription plus a one-off cost for hardware. Contact us for current prices.
