Integrating DormaKaba Saffire Evo locks with Lynx Automation brings a host of benefits for property managers in the hospitality and multifamily sectors:

Real-time Access Management: Grant or revoke access instantly from the Lynx platform, ideal for managing staff, guests, and maintenance personnel.

Centralized Management: Control all your Saffire Evo locks from a single dashboard within Lynx, providing a comprehensive overview of access activity across your property.

Improved Audit Trails: Lynx captures detailed audit trails of every lock event, including who accessed which door and when, strengthening security and accountability.

Reduced Staff Time: Automation minimizes the time spent on manual tasks like keycard programming and distribution, freeing up staff for other responsibilities.

Improved Key Control: Eliminate the costs associated with lost or stolen keys, as digital keys can be easily revoked and reissued.

Preventative Maintenance: Lynx provides insights into lock health, including battery levels, allowing for proactive maintenance and reducing potential issues.

IMPORTANT: Saffire EVO locks use time-zone validation to ensure that time-sensitive codes (including guest codes) work when they should. Lynx will automatically update the lock's time-zone when it is first added to a property listing, but if the lock has to be reassigned to a different property in a different time-zone, the lock may need to be re-synced to ensure proper functionality.
