VingCard Elsafe has launched the first “invisible” door lock ‘Essence by VingCard’ based on a new concept in locking design and technology.
Essence eliminates all lock hardware on the door by encasing all electronic components inside the door itself and making security virtually invisible to hotel guests, according to the hospitality security company, which is part of Assa Abloy Group.
Although undetectable on the door exterior, Essence by VingCard integrates VingCard Elsafe’s most advanced contactless locking solutions into the interior electronics, including Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and Near Field Communication (NFC) compatible locking technologies.

Essence by VingCard was unveiled last week (June 25-28) at HITEC 2012, the world’s largest hospitality technology show at the Baltimore Convention Center.
Tim Shea, president of Assa Abloy Hospitality commented: “Essence by VingCard represents another giant leap forward in hotel design and technology.
“It not only makes the lock disappear from the hotel door, resolving design challenges for savvy, design-conscious hoteliers, but it also minimises a variety of other operational issues, such as integration, installation and maintenance. It combines the very best aspects of design and security technology.”
Essence is also compatible with VingCard’s patented wireless online Visionline system.
“This makes it essentially the most advanced and streamlined locking system on the market today, from both a design and operational standpoint,” added Shea.
