Digital locking systems


Digital access management from Arbonia

Surprisingly, the key to efficient and convenient management of residential complexes is not a key, but a digital tool. KIWI, an Arbonia company, is a digital locking system that has been specially developed for the housing industry. It enables the keyless management and use of doors, barriers and garages in residential complexes.

Access rights can be granted or withdrawn in real time via a central online portal, making key handovers and physical key books superfluous. KIWI is already used by over 600 companies in the housing industry and opens around 500,000 doors every month. The data is stored on servers in Germany to meet the highest data protection requirements.


Digital key management - advantages for the housing industry

A key always requires a physical presence - for handovers, for tradesmen, in the event of replacement or loss. Digital access management eliminates the need for the physical presence of in-house staff. But this is not the only thing that significantly reduces the burden on the housing industry. The digital control of building entrances, apartment doors, cellar doors, barriers and garages has many other advantages:

  • Time and cost savings: less effort for key handovers and no costs for replacing locks if keys are lost.
  • Increased security: Immediate blocking of lost transponders and no unauthorized key copies.
  • Flexibility: Easy expansion of the system and integration into existing infrastructures.

Conversion to digital locking systems

KIWI's digital key management system was developed in close cooperation with companies in the housing industry and therefore focuses on simple and manufacturer-independent retrofitting or initial installation of a digital locking system. The original locking system can continue to be used for a modular step-by-step conversion. This applies not only to house and apartment doors, but also to barriers and garages.


Areas of application for the digital locking system

Front door

With KIWI Smart Entry, building entrance doors can be invisibly refitted from the outside, making processes more efficient and heightening convenience for residents.

Apartment door

For apartment doors, KIWI offers solutions such as the KIWI lockhandle, which locks automatically and can be opened from the inside at any time, and the KIWI knob, which completely dispenses with physical keys and is operated digitally via transponder or app.

Cellar door

Cellar doors and technical rooms can also be equipped with KIWI technology to heighten security and convenience.

Barriers and garages

Barriers and garages can be controlled digitally with KIWI Smart Entry, giving tenants seamless access to the underground garage.

Key safe

The KIWI Safe is a digital key safe that is installed in the hallway and securely stores important physical keys.
