Electric locking, readers, credentials, switches and power products that complete access-controlled openings.
What this product family does
dormakaba’s Electronic Access & Data portfolio includes RCI electromagnetic locks, electric strikes, specialty locks and power supplies; standard-, high- and ultra-high-frequency readers/credentials; keypads; mobile credentials; switches; and RF receivers/transmitters. These components must be engineered as an opening, not purchased as unrelated parts.
Products and decisions

| Electric locking | RCI strikes, maglocks and specialty locks | Choose by frame/door prep, fail-safe/fail-secure, listing, preload and egress |
| Readers/credentials | 125 kHz, 13.56 MHz, UHF and mobile choices | Select security level, range, protocol and migration path |
| Request-to-exit/switches | Buttons, touchless devices, plates and specialty controls | Coordinate accessibility, signage and code-required release |
| Power | Listed regulated supplies and distribution | Calculate lock inrush/holding load, controller load and standby battery |

How to compare and specify this product family
For dormakaba RCI Locks, Readers, Credentials and Power, the right model and architecture depend on the site, existing infrastructure and operating policy. A proposal should clearly document the following electronic lock and door-hardware system decisions before equipment is ordered:
- Opening type, handing, frame and door condition
- Fire rating, egress, accessibility and code constraints
- Fail-safe or fail-secure operation and emergency release
- Credential, reader and controller compatibility
- Battery, wireless gateway and offline behavior
- Mechanical key override, maintenance and lifecycle support
Installation, testing and handoff
Each opening is surveyed as a complete assembly. We verify the door, frame, handing, existing prep, latching, closer, egress hardware, power path and the required emergency behavior before specifying a lock. Installation includes alignment and mechanical correction within scope, cable and power testing, credential enrollment, door-state and request-to-exit tests, and failure-mode verification. The owner receives opening schedules, administrator guidance and maintenance requirements; private credential data and certificate details are not published.

Official dormakaba software, firmware and support
Use the manufacturer links below for current software, firmware, release notes, manuals and technical resources. Boston High Tech links directly to official manufacturer portals and does not copy or host firmware files.
Before installing an update: verify the exact model, region, hardware revision, current version, required intermediate releases, licensing or support entitlement, backup and rollback plan, integrations and maintenance window. An incorrect firmware package or upgrade sequence can interrupt service, invalidate compatibility or prevent a downgrade. Coordinate updates for monitored, life-safety-adjacent or business-critical systems with the system administrator and an authorized specialist.
Some resources require a customer, dealer, certified-technician or active-support login. Cloud-managed products may update automatically and may not provide a public firmware file.
