Door Hardware & Compatibility

What products do I need for my doors?

Sensorberg offers both wired and battery-powered access solutions. The ideal setup depends on your door type:

Electrified doors:

Non-electrified doors:

  • Lightweight doors: battery-powered cylinder or door handle
  • Heavier doors: electrification is recommended for optimal reliability

Network Requirements

After order confirmation:

  1. A dedicated project manager and operations manager are assigned
  2. An internal kick-off is conducted
  3. An external kick-off meeting is scheduled with you

We recommend inviting all relevant stakeholders to ensure smooth project execution.


Common Issues

What are the most common challenges during projects?

Network and connectivity issues are the most frequent challenges. For this reason, we strongly recommend involving a professional network provider early in the project.

All Sensorberg hardware includes a 2-year warranty starting from the date the order is placed.


On-Site Support

Do you offer on-site assistance during installation?

Yes. Sensorberg offers optional on-site support packages, providing a Sensorberg expert on location during installation.


Retrofit & Modernisation

Can we modernise an existing facility without disrupting operations?

Yes. Sensorberg is specifically designed for retrofitting existing facilities with minimal disruption.

  • No rip-and-replace required
  • Modular and retrofit-friendly system
  • Integrates with existing doors, locks, and site layouts

Retrofits are typically performed in phases, allowing sites to remain operational. Installation is 30–40% faster than traditional access control systems, with reduced cabling and no civil works.

The result is a fully digital, scalable access system that lowers operating costs and standardises your infrastructure for future expansion—without rebuilding your site.
