Door Cloud: Guest access with Key Link

Being the smartest access control in the cloud means that we can do some amazing things. One of such things is granting access via web link.

Key Link is a very convenient solution for granting temporary access, especially at a distance as nothing material needs to be sent or received. The recipient does not need to be Door Cloud user, does not need to install or run any special app, does not need to memorize anything and everything can be set well in advance.

It goes like this:

  • User creates a web link for opening a certain door.
  • User sends the link via mail or chat.
  • The recipient opens the door by clicking on the link.
  • Which seems like a bit too simple, does it? So, let’s just go in and answer some immediate questions:

How do we open the door once we receive the link?

The door can be opened using a smartphone or any other online device with a browser. Clicking the link will open the browser and land you on the door opening page. The door is then opened by clicking the button on the page.

How do we prevent the link to be further distributed and used by other people?

We don’t. Think of the link as of the ordinary mechanical key or the PIN code. The key can be easily copied, the PIN can be revealed.

How do we know that the link has been used by the intended recipient and not by someone else?

We don’t, see the previous answer.

How do we keep track of who made the link, for whom and why?

The link name and description, its validity period, and the user who made it – all that is automatically logged by the system. If the link is sent by email, the email will be logged too. For any other data, it is up to the user what he will choose to record using the name and description. It may be the recipient name, the link purpose, or anything else of importance to the user.

How do we keep track of the access events made using the link?

Just like any other access using cards or mobile app. All access events made via links are logged in the event log.

How can we limit the link use?

We can set the link validity from – to. We can change or cancel it at any later time. We can also limit the number of times the link can be used down to single use.

Can we send the link to multiple recipients?

Yes. Also, links can be forwarded, copied, published or otherwise distributed to any number of secondary recipients.

What are the technical requirements?

Access via Key Link can be performed on any Door Cloud access point (door). Link can be issued online on the web or using the Door Cloud web app. For opening doors, any smartphone or similar device with browser and internet connection will do

Link access can be seen as a high-convenience, yet low-security access feature. What are the security considerations?

It really depends on the use case. Key Link is not meant as a replacement for card access or smartphone app access. It is intended for use cases where the lack of user identification is acceptable, such as apartment rent.

BENEFITS

  • Access right can be granted easily and instantly from the web or the mobile app.
  • Access right can be granted with delayed start and automatic expiration (from – to, from – duration).
  • Access right can be modified or revoked easily and instantly.
  • Access right recipient can be anyone with a smartphone and internet connection.
  • Access right recipient can easily and instantly share the access right further to other recipients.
  • No cards or card readers required.

USE CASE: APARTMENT RENT

The best use case is apartment rent. The apartment owner is a Door Cloud user, the guest is anyone with a smartphone and internet connection. The owner creates the link and sends it to the guest. The guest opens the apartment door with his smartphone, and the owner sees that the guests have arrived. If cards are preferred, they can be left in the apartment for guest’s convenience. In that case, the link duration may be set for some initial period only.

If there are more guests, they can share the link between themselves. Or, the owner can send multiple links. If the guest cancels or leaves early, the owner simply revokes the link.

ASSA ABLOY: Why door closers matter in smart buildings

Smart buildings take a connected approach to managing and monitoring who is coming into and going through them. For almost every user, whether visitor, staff or contractor, the building journey begins with a door.

A 2025 report by analysts Memoori suggests that the global IoT market in commercial buildings will grow to $101 billion (€87.5 billion) by 2030, at a baseline predicted CAGR of 7.9%1. Memoori identify offices, retail premises, datacenters, and hospitality businesses as probably early adopters of smart building technology.

The smart building will streamline the experience for both users and managers. When fully implemented, it promises buildings which are more secure; that make better use of energy; and which will make data-driven decisions in real time. On the basis of these concrete benefits, analysts forecast rapid growth. According to Fortune Business Insights, the market will grow from a value of $143 billion (€122 billion) in 2025 to $548.5 billion (€469.5 billlion) by 2032, at an estimated 21.2% CAGR2. Security systems and technologies will be a significant component of this growth.

It starts at the door

In a world of smart sensors, building management dashboards and real-time analytics, the door closer is easy to overlook. Yet in creating tomorrow’s generation of intelligent buildings, this device will play a critical role. Modern high-spec door closers do far more than simply shut a door. They help preserve climate zones, reduce noise, support fire safety and accessibility, enhance security and convenience, throughout the wider building.

For security, the door closer is essential. A door left ajar – whether by wind, human error or wear and tear – undermines access protocols and protections. Intelligent closers work alongside digital locking and access systems to ensure doors shut reliably behind every authorized user, reducing the risk of tailgating. A certified door closer is also a key component in fire safety strategy. When integrated with fire alarm systems, closers allow fire doors to remain open during normal use, but close automatically in an emergency. This supports safer evacuations and regulatory compliance without compromising day-to-day convenience.

From a sustainability standpoint, the contribution is also tangible. A closed interior door helps to maintain temperature differentials, between an office and the corridor, for example, or a server room and an atrium exposed to climate variations. Fully closed interior doors help reduce stack pressure – the unwanted inflow of air at lower levels, caused by rising warm air within the building – which can otherwise disrupt HVAC performance. Even a single poorly closed door can force HVAC systems to work harder, leading to unnecessary energy waste. A door closer ensures these doors shut gently but securely every time, supporting improved energy efficiency metrics.

Smart door, smarter building

In a connected building, integration is everything. ASSA ABLOY intelligent door closers are designed to work as part of a broader Building Management System (BMS). They integrate seamlessly with access control, fire alarm and HVAC platforms, helping the building to become more responsive, more secure, and more efficient.

“Every model in our range of award-winning door closers is engineered for performance, durability and aesthetics. As you would expect, they meet or exceed critical EN 1154 compliance requirements and in most cases, are certified for use on fire doors” says Andreas Gmelin, Product Management and Business Development Director from ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions EMEIA. “Increasingly, they are also designed, from the ground up, by paying attention to their growing role within an intelligent building environment. They can be responsive and be used together with other components in a smart building, focusing upon access, energy and life safety.”

“In short, they are no longer just robust, convenient hardware working in isolation to perform a single important task. Door closers are now a key enabler of improved smart building performance, which benefits every user and makes life easier for building managers.”

Euralarm Webinar: Fire Safety in EV Parking Garages

Euralarm will organize a webinar on Fire safety in EV parking garages on October 14, 2025.

The rise of electric vehicles (EVs) has brought both environmental benefits and new safety challenges. The nature of EV construction is to protect the battery cells from weather, surface water spray, and damage in normal use, and this presents a challenge in delivering extinguishant to the cells. Therefore, it is extremely challenging, if not impossible, to stop in-cell thermal runaway inside the traction battery or slowing cell to cell propagation.

Euralarm’s latest guidance unpacks the fire risk disparity between EVs and ICE vehicles, the unique dangers of thermal battery events, and the critical steps needed to mitigate them effectively.

The scope of this webinar, presented by Euralarm’s Vice Chair of the Extinguishing Section, Gerd Hülsen, is to provide factual information on the fire risk of electrical vehicles in parking facilities in comparison with other types of vehicles and to guide through solutions that can be applied. We will discuss fire behaviors and safety measures associated with both electric and combustion vehicles.

This webinar is especially interesting for:

  • Fire safety professionals
  • Parking facility operators and managers
  • Facility managers for commercial, residential, and public buildings
  • Policymakers and regulators at municipal, national, and EU level
  • Technology & innovation experts
  • Installers and system integrators

Register here for this event.
