Handing out physical keys or updating an access list by hand breaks down after your coworking space grows past a handful of members. Door access integrations connect OfficeRnD Flex to your access control system, so a membership, booking, or Day Pass grants and revokes the right doors automatically, without an admin touching a key card or fob. Members get in exactly when they're supposed to, and lose access exactly when they're not, without anyone tracking it by hand.
In OfficeRnD, door access integrations connect through Integration Hub and read from Billing Plans, Locations, Floors, Resources, Meeting Rooms, and Day Passes to decide who gets access. They enforce the access model you design rather than replace it. OfficeRnD stays the source of truth for who's allowed in, while the connected system handles the physical lock.

Prerequisites
Before you connect a door access integration, ensure you have the following:
This sets the zones, personas, and naming convention that the integration will enforce. Define, prepare, and configure a door access model →
An admin role with access to Integration Hub.
An account with your chosen door access provider, along with the required hardware installed at your location.
How door access integrations work in OfficeRnD
After you connect an integration and map your entities to access groups, OfficeRnD automatically manages access changes for you. Here's what that looks like in practice (but keep in mind that functionality may vary depending on the door access system and integration):
Access is granted when a membership, Day Pass, or booking becomes active, and revoked the moment it ends.
Members with a mapped Plan, Location, Floor, or private office get standing access to that zone.
Members and guests with a booked meeting room get temporary access for the length of the booking.
A company without an individual assigned to a membership gets access to the whole team.
None of the native integrations (except for BlueID) deletes a member's account in the provider system when access is revoked. Access is removed, but the account stays until an admin removes or reclaims it manually in the provider's dashboard.
Important: After the initial sync, changing a member's email or phone number in OfficeRnD doesn't update it in the connected door access system. Update it manually on both sides if it changes, or the two systems will show different contact details for that member.
Choose a native door access integration
The following integrations connect natively to OfficeRnD Flex. Which one fits depends mostly on the access hardware already installed at your location, not on a feature checklist, since each ties to a specific lock system.
Provider | How it works | Access methods | Notes |
Maps Plans, Locations, Floors, Resources, Meeting Rooms, and Day Passes to Brivo security groups. Access is granted and revoked automatically as memberships and bookings change. | Key cards and fobs, plus Brivo Mobile Access through the Branded app. | External users, such as cleaners, need a separate, unmanaged Brivo group. | |
Maps the same OfficeRnD entities to KISI security groups and syncs automatically every 15 minutes. | Keyless entry through the KISI app or the Branded app. | Access notification emails are configurable per integration. | |
Runs on a dedicated on-premises device connected through the SHIP protocol, with mappings for Plans, Locations, Floors, Offices, Meeting Rooms, and Day Passes. | Key fobs and cards, plus the Salto JustIN Mobile app. | One integration device per space. Physical cards are issued manually in Salto, not through OfficeRnD. | |
Maps the same set of entities to Salto KS access groups and syncs every 15 minutes. | The Salto KS mobile app through the Branded app (after a member accepts an invitation), or a manually assigned physical key. | Can automatically generate PIN codes for drop-in bookings with no front desk staff present. | |
Maps Plans, Locations, Floors, Resources, Meeting Rooms, and Day Passes to Avigilon Alta security groups and syncs every 15 minutes. | Mobile access through the Branded app. | Only supports Avigilon's US instance. The EU instance isn't supported yet. | |
Doesn't map Plans or Locations to access groups. Every booking for a synced resource creates a temporary credential scoped to that exact time window instead. | App-based credentials, plus NFC cards or fobs for offline access. | Updates in real time, typically within 5 to 20 seconds, instead of on a fixed sync schedule. |
Each provider's setup article walks through connecting credentials, mapping entities, and configuring mobile access:
Set up access for multiple vendors
You can connect more than one door access integration when different locations use different hardware, or even connect the same vendor to separate locations. Not every combination works together, so check compatibility before you add a second vendor.
| Brivo | KISI | Avigilon Alta | Salto KS |
Brivo |
| ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
KISI | ✅ |
| ✅ | ✅ |
Avigilon Alta | ✅ | ✅ |
| ❌ |
Salto KS | ✅ | ✅ | ❌ |

This compatibility matrix covers Brivo, KISI, Avigilon Alta, and Salto KS. Salto ProAccess SPACE and BlueID are configured and billed separately, so treat them as standalone connections rather than part of a multi-vendor combination.
Turn on mobile door access
Members can unlock doors from their phone after you connect a compatible integration and turn on mobile access through the OfficeRnD Branded app. Brivo, KISI, Salto KS, and Avigilon Alta all support mobile access this way. Salto ProAccess SPACE and BlueID use their own vendor apps instead of the Branded app.
Best practices
These aren't required steps, but they head off the most common issues:
If different locations use different door hardware, connect the matching integration to each location instead of standardizing on one vendor across your whole portfolio.
If you manage cleaners, vendors, or other people outside your organization, add them to a separate, unmanaged access group directly in the provider's system, so OfficeRnD doesn't remove their access at the next sync.
If you haven't mapped every zone yet, avoid relying on a single access group for the whole building. Review your door access model and split access by location, floor, or resource before you go live.
If you're connecting more than one vendor, check the compatibility matrix first. Reconfiguring after the fact means redoing your access groups.
FAQs
Can I connect more than one door access integration at a time?
You can connect different door access integrations to different locations, and you can even connect the same vendor to more than one location. Not every vendor pairs with every other vendor, so check the compatibility table before you add a second one (see above ↑).
Will OfficeRnD delete a member's account in the door access system after their access ends?
OfficeRnD never deletes a member's account in the connected door access system. It revokes access when a membership, booking, or Day Pass ends, but the account itself stays in the provider's system until an admin removes it manually.
Does OfficeRnD update a member's email or phone number in the door access system automatically?
OfficeRnD doesn't update a member's email or phone number in the door access system after the initial sync. If contact details change later, update them manually in the provider's system too, or the two systems will show different information for that member.
What happens to a member's door access when their meeting room booking ends?
A member's access to the mapped meeting room is revoked automatically when the booking ends. Access is granted as the booking approaches and removed right after it finishes, and the same behavior applies to guests invited to that booking.
