Pick the Keypad + RFID exterior for fast PIN entry plus mobile/RFID credentials, or the clean RFID Reader Only front for fob and mobile-key access.

  • No-wires setup; pairs over BLE in the Spirit app
  • Mobile key, RFID, and (on keypad models) PIN code access
  • Configurable schedules and passage modes; local audit trails
  • ANSI 161 door prep with through-bolts; retrofit friendly
