# Brivo Adds Schlage XE360 Wi-Fi Lock, Claims 70% Lower Cost Per Door By MarketScale Newsroom · Published 2026-09-13 · Building Management on MarketScale Canonical: https://www.marketscale.com/industries/building-management/brivo-says-wifi-locks-can-cut-access-control-cost-per-door-by-up-to-70 > Brivo says its Schlage XE360 RealSync integration cuts access-control cost per door up to 70% versus hardwired systems, using existing Wi-Fi. ## Key points - Brivo announced the Schlage XE360 Series with RealSync lock is now available within Brivo Security Suite, per SDM Magazine and Security Systems News, September 4, 2026 - Brivo claims up to 70% lower cost per door than hardwired access control and remote commands executing in under 10 seconds - SDM Magazine reported interior openings can represent about 75% of doors in a typical facility, historically left off electronic access control due to wiring and power costs Brivo announced on September 4, 2026, that the Schlage XE360 Series with RealSync lock is now available within Brivo Security Suite. According to SDM Magazine and Security Systems News, Brivo says the integration delivers continuous, 24/7 Wi-Fi connectivity across commercial doors at up to 70% lower cost per door than traditional hardwired access-control systems. ## Why interior doors are the focus SDM Magazine reported that interior and secondary openings can represent about 75% of doors in a typical facility, and that these doors have historically been excluded from electronic access control because of the cost of cabling, controllers, and external power supplies. Brivo's pitch for the Schlage XE360 with RealSync is aimed at that gap: the lock connects over a building's existing Wi-Fi network rather than requiring dedicated wiring or a proprietary wireless gateway, according to both SDM Magazine and Security Systems News. ## What the lock reportedly does Security Systems News reported that the lock maintains a continuous cloud connection rather than relying on scheduled sync intervals, with remote commands and access updates executing in less than 10 seconds. The outlet also reported that the system supports on-demand audit logs and alerts for events such as forced or propped doors. Security Systems News reported that the XE360 can upgrade an existing door from offline to connected by replacing an internal module rather than the entire lockset, and that Brivo says the lock offers about a year of battery life on standard AA batteries while remaining connected. Security Systems News also reported that Brivo's platform centralizes management of hardwired perimeter doors, wireless interior doors, video, and visitor management within a single Brivo Security Suite interface. ## Company scale and recent moves According to SecurityInfoWatch's company profile, Brivo has more than 2 million devices deployed across 100,000-plus locations in 80 countries, and its Brivo Security Suite is described as unifying access control, video intelligence, visitor management, and intrusion detection. SecurityInfoWatch also notes that Brivo recently merged with Eagle Eye Networks. ## What is not yet known The reported figures, including the 70% cost claim and the one-year battery life estimate, come from Brivo via SDM Magazine and Security Systems News rather than from independent testing or customer case studies cited in these reports. The sources do not detail installation timelines, technician labor requirements, Wi-Fi network prerequisites, or how costs and battery life vary across building types. Organizations evaluating the integration would need to confirm these details directly with Brivo or its integrators before budgeting a rollout. ## Sources - [Brivo Extends Enterprise Security to Every Door in Every Building](https://www.sdmmag.com/articles/105777-brivo-extends-enterprise-security-to-every-door-in-every-building) (SDM Magazine) - [Brivo integrates Schlage XE360 with Security Suite](https://www.securitysystemsnews.com/article/brivo-integrates-schlage-xe360-with-security-suite) (Security Systems News) - [Brivo - Security Info Watch](https://www.securityinfowatch.com/access-identity/access-control/company/10213096/brivo-systems-inc) (SecurityInfoWatch) Tags: Brivo, Schlage, access control, physical security, Wi-Fi locks --- Source: MarketScale, https://www.marketscale.com/industries/building-management/brivo-says-wifi-locks-can-cut-access-control-cost-per-door-by-up-to-70.
