FUHR, the trusted name in door locking solutions with over 165 years of innovation, has launched SmartAccess - a new smart access module that allows doors to be unlocked using a smartphone, easily, securely and without the need for Wi-Fi, internet or cloud services.
Building on FUHR’s long-standing expertise in electromechanical locking systems, this latest development adds to the company’s growing portfolio of smart access control solutions, designed to make door automation simpler, safer and more accessible across a wide range of applications.

At the heart of the system is the SmartAccess Module (SAM), a compact Bluetooth receiver that integrates directly into the motor of FUHR’s electromechanical door locks. Once connected, it enables secure smartphone-based operation, eliminating the need for traditional keys, keypads or network connections.
For fabricators, system houses and installers, SmartAccess offers an easy, value-adding upgrade to existing FUHR electromechanical door systems. With no complex wiring or external readers required, it’s a straightforward way to deliver smart functionality that helps businesses stand out in a competitive market.
Paul Balfe, Business Development Manager for FUHR UK, comments:
“SmartAccess gives our customers something genuinely new to offer without redesigning their doors or investing in complex access control systems. It’s quick to install, reliable and ideal for fabricators and installers looking to stay ahead in a fast-changing market.”
Using the free SmartAccess App, available for iOS and Android, users can unlock doors with a single tap or let the AutoUnlock feature open the door automatically as they approach… even with their smartphone still in their pocket. The system also allows temporary access to be granted to visitors, tradespeople or cleaners, offering secure flexibility for modern, everyday living.
SmartAccess reflects FUHR’s ongoing commitment to delivering high-performance door locking and access solutions that combine security, simplicity and modern functionality. Designed for today’s connected lifestyles, it gives specifiers, fabricators and installers a smarter way to meet evolving customer expectations.
