Common Door Functionality

What is a Common Door?

A Common Door allows access granted on one door to automatically apply to another designated door.

📌 Use Cases:
✔ Apartment buildings with a main entrance & unit doors
✔ Shared amenities like pools & gyms
✔ Simplifies access management for multiple locks

How It Works

Common Doors follow a Parent/Child model:

• Parent Door (Interior Door): When access is granted to a user, it automatically applies to the child door.
• Child Door (Common Door): Users with access to an interior unit automatically gain access to this door.
• 🚫 Child-to-Parent access does NOT apply (adding access to a common door does not add it to individual doors).

Setting Up a Common Door

• Go to: Devices → Common Doors tab.
• Click “Add Common Door”.

• Configure settings:

• Common Door: Select the lock to be designated as a Common Door.
• Common To: Choose if it applies to an entire location or specific doors.
• Access Schedule: (Optional) Set a time-based access schedule.
• Guest Access Overrides: Modify start & end times for guest access.
• Apply to Existing Users: Enable to extend this setting to all current access users & guests.
• Click CREATE to apply settings.
