## What is dormakaba BlueSky Access?

Use a mobile device as a secure key

dormakaba BlueSky Access is a cloud-based mobile access key delivery system available for hotels and multifamily housing, student housing, market-rate apartments and senior living properties. It merges security and convenience for the mobile minded traveler or dweller in order to enhance the access experience.
The delivery of a key to a mobile device (phone, tablet) is enabled via LEGIC Connect, a service that operates in a highly-secure and scalable data center.
Once notification has been received  and the BlueSky Access app has been installed, the mobile access key is sent to the app on that mobile device, allowing entry to those doors or areas access  to which authorization has been given.

The BlueSky Access app is available for use only in properties equipped with dormakaba contactless electronic locks that have been equipped with a dormakaba Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) radio antenna.

Hotels
With the BlueSky Access app on a mobile device, guests can bypass the front desk check-in process and go directly to their room as well as gaining access to any authorized common area in the hotel requiring a room key. 

Residence
With the BlueSky Access app on a mobile device, residents can securely lock and unlock unit doors and other amenity areas within a property to which authorization to enter has been given.

About dormakaba Group
dormakaba is one of the top three companies in the global market for access and security solutions. With strong brands such as Dorma and Kaba in our portfolio, we are a single source for products, solutions, and services related to doors and secure access to buildings and rooms.  With around 16,000 employees and numerous cooperation partners, we are active in over 130 countries. dormakaba is headquartered in Rümlang (Zurich/Switzerland) and generates an annual turnover of over CHF 2 billion. 

Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology enables the issuance and management of secure mobile access keys for hotels, multihousing, student and senior living properties. dormakaba’s latest RFID door locks and other access controls are BlueSky Access enabled. They can be installed on a variety of door types and locations giving properties a flexible, secure choice of entry options. 

BLE-enabled door locks and access controls allow an authorized user to place a compatible mobile device (smartphone, tablet) with the BlueSky Access app near a corresponding sensor on the door lock. The sensor reads the BlueSky Access key, the lock system communicates with the property management network, and determines whether the unique, encrypted code conveyed by the phone is on an approved "pass" list. If so, access is allowed, and the entry is recorded for audit purposes.

### 3/5 — Please add to Apple wallet!

*2026-06-15, version 3.1.1*

Our apartment complex just started using this and it seems to work pretty well! It’s pretty annoying to have to search for the app in my phone. I think if this were added to apple wallet I would give it 5 stars

### 1/5 — Worst door opening app ever

*2026-03-22, version 3.1.1*

The app won’t open my door 2 out of 10 times when I really need it to work it won’t just work they need to fix
This otherwise I’m going to make sure the next apartment complex i go to they don’t have this dorma kana brand (worst thing ever)

### 1/5 — Horrible app

*2026-02-17, version 3.1.0*

doesn’t work. had to go to the office to “fix” it like 5 times

### 1/5 — Trash

*2026-01-26, version 3.1.0*

If you need a glimmer of hope that the robot overlords aren’t going to take over humanity anytime soon, then download this app.

### 1/5 — Worst App Ever

*2026-01-16, version 3.1.0*

If you don’t know how to write code, go back to farming potato. It sometimes takes ages to unlock the door. Last night, the entire app froze and I can’t get out of it. I can’t switch to any other app. I can’t even turn off my phone. They clearly don’t know what they are doing.

### 1/5 — One of the worst apps on the market. I’m great with apps but this one needs serious work.

*2025-12-15, version 3.1.0*

Garbage app

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-11-20, version 3.1.0*

This app is useless. My apartment complex uses it and I have a mobile key on my phone, but none of the ways to unlock external doors or delegate access for guests work at all. I have re-installed it multiple times and tried to get help from my property management, who can’t do anything because this system doesn’t work! I can unlock my door if I’m already inside the building, but access codes or guest key delegations just give an error.

### 4/5 — Please add for Apple Wallet!

*2025-10-21, version 3.1.0*

The app is reliable and works well with my door system. However, it would be amazing if you could add Apple Wallet support. That way, we could access our digital keys directly by double-clicking the side button on the iPhone, just like using Apple Pay.

### 1/5 — Such a disappointment

*2025-07-23, version 3.1.0*

I mean honestly… who approved the app for The Mercantile Place in Dallas? You helped me make my decision to move. One thing after another thank you

### 1/5 — How is this even released??

*2025-06-28, version 3.1.0*

App is full of bugs
