alldoor

Alldoor is a term used to describe a universal door platform concept or brand name used by various manufacturers. It refers to interoperability between door hardware, access control systems, and software across different door types and environments, rather than a single product.

In practice, alldoor projects aim to provide modular hardware and open software interfaces that let hinged, sliding, revolving, and automatic doors be controlled from a common system. Vendors may label their offerings as alldoor-compatible to emphasize interoperability rather than a fixed specification.

Core components typically include modular controllers, actuators, sensors, and strikes; software that manages authentication, policy enforcement, and event auditing; and support for multiple credentials such as cards, mobile devices, and biometrics. Security considerations commonly highlighted are encryption, secure boot, and auditable logs, with open APIs for integration with building management systems.

Applications span residential smart homes, commercial offices, campuses, and transit facilities. The approach can reduce vendor lock-in and simplify management, but real-world interoperability depends on clear specifications and ongoing firmware and security updates.

Because alldoor refers to a concept rather than a single product, buyers should evaluate compatibility with existing doors, total cost of ownership, and compliance with local regulations. Clear vendor documentation and independent security testing are advisable before deployment.
