Salto Space
Piattaforma di controllo accessi intelligente online indipendente, virtualmente collegata in rete, cablata e wireless.
801 Washington Lofts
Posizione: Minneapolis - Stati Uniti
Tipo di progetto: Residenziale - Abitazioni multifamiliari
Lo storico stabilimento Farm Implement di inizio Novecento e lo showroom Studebaker Packard, noto come 801 Washington a Minneapolis, Minnesota, sono stati riconvertiti nel 2003 in condomini, conservando molte caratteristiche storiche e architettoniche. All'epoca non erano previste disposizioni per il controllo degli accessi. L'adeguamento del controllo degli accessi convenzionale a un edificio tradizionale con chiave meccanica, in particolare uno storico come 801 Washington, è in genere costoso, dirompente ed esteticamente impegnativo: richiede cablaggi rigidi e tagli nei telai delle porte per installare apriporta elettrici e lettori di schede, ecc. Ma quando i proprietari hanno scelto di implementare serrature elettroniche, hanno scelto SALTO Systems, un progetto che è stato gestito con successo da Gittleman Construction & Maintenance Corporation.

“This was the first keyless project I have participated in and it went smoother than I thought possible. The project was completed efficiently and is of the highest quality….Overall, this was a fantastic experience and I look forward to bringing SALTO and Gittleman to every property I oversee.”
The forward-thinking homeowners and board of 801 Washington embraced technology, deciding not just to provide access control to the usual perimeter entry and common areas but to go all in, becoming a completely keyless residential facility, integrating their residential doors and garage entry. They chose leading electronic access control provider SALTO for the project.
SALTO introduced its first battery-powered access control lockset in 2001, an encrypted data-on-card system that allows cards, fobs, or smartphones to carry data back and forth to individual locksets, creating a virtual network without wires. SALTO has since expanded and innovated solutions to include network, cloud, and mobile platforms that work with its state-of-the-art electronic locks and devices. With over five million equipped access points and 40,000 projects around the world, SALTO has become a global market leader in innovative wireless lockset solutions that now make retrofitting traditional mechanical-keyed facilities most practical.
Gittleman Construction & Maintenance Corporation Security Integrations Division, in conjunction with SALTO, produced and installed an integrated solution at 801 Washington Lofts that is practical, secure, and future proof and contains numerous benefits and features including a user-friendly, intuitive electronic access control solution that protects the client investment and simplifies integration with other buildings systems.
FirstService Residential Association Manager of 801 Washington Lofts Jenna Mazal diligently set up credential management protocols, encoding and issuing homeowner credentials prior to the changeover.
Over the course of three weeks, Gittleman technicians first installed long range readers in the garage, operating in parallel with existing garage door openers, carefully working through any questions or issues with homeowners before turning off and removing the old hardware. The same procedure was followed for perimeter entry door locks and common areas before finally replacing homeowner’s residence locksets once they were familiar with using electronic credentials.
Overall, it was a smooth and successful partnership project which was so well received by homeowners that it led to SALTO installations in a homeowner’s business facilities.
Several FirstService Residential-managed condominium associations have worked with Gittleman Construction to install SALTO for their perimeter access doors and have subsequently added common area interior doors preparing for eventual resident door lock conversions.
“I once again had an amazing experience with Gittleman on the 801 Washington Lofts project. While I have worked with the team before on multiple projects, this was the first keyless project I have participated in and it went smoother than I thought possible. The project was completed efficiently and of the highest quality,” said Mazal.
Mazal said of the 61 units (which house a total of 117 residents), they did not receive a single complaint regarding the project. Every resident was thrilled to have multiple options to access their building and unit. Residents love the free flowing access they gained going in and out of the garage. Going from a building with no door access control to completely keyless was a useful feature that the residents now feel safer with and an amenity they feel makes their building even more desirable.
“Overall, this was a fantastic experience and I look forward to bringing SALTO and Gittleman to every property I oversee,” said Mazal.
Vantaggi principali
- La soluzione intuitiva e di facile utilizzo protegge l'investimento del cliente e semplifica l'integrazione con altri sistemi di costruzione.
- Costi di materiale e manodopera associati alla re-keying drasticamente ridotti.
- Le credenziali di residenti e dipendenti possono essere rilasciate o cancellate su base individuale.
- Il sistema di controllo degli accessi basato sul tempo include l'accesso e la scadenza della chiave magnetica selezionabile dall'utente, ideale per i dog sitter, le domestiche, il personale di servizio, ecc.
- Crittografia chiave ad alta sicurezza, proprietaria e unica per ogni installazione.
- App per smartphone che consente ai dispositivi BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) di funzionare come credenziali; le credenziali nuove o aggiornate possono essere inviate direttamente e da remoto al telefono di un cliente.
- Ampie funzionalità di reporting con un audit trail completo del sistema.
- Serrature interamente in metallo per impieghi gravosi.
- Le batterie sono classificate per oltre 40.000 transazioni su 3 batterie alcaline AA e continuano a funzionare durante le interruzioni di corrente o Internet/rete.
- I lockset sono sempre supportati dal produttore, rispetto a molti prodotti residenziali in un settore in rapida evoluzione che diventano obsoleti rapidamente.
- È possibile configurare ulteriori telecomandi, schede o accesso Bluetooth per l'accesso temporizzato e la durata. Ad esempio, i dog sitter o le domestiche possono accedere all'edificio e all'unità solo in orari controllati come le 9:00 e le 12:00 MF, ecc.
"801 Washington Lofts recognized the challenges with managing mechanical keys. Gittleman consulted with the customer, surveyed the property and designed a complete system eliminating virtually all mechanical keys on site. Once mechanical keys were removed, residents quickly adopted digital credentials and simpler, more secure access."
