SALTO Space Integrated with Kantech EntraPass: Smarter Locks, Unified Access

SALTO locks integrated with Kantech EntraPass access control platform

In today’s security landscape, organizations are constantly seeking ways to streamline operations, eliminate inefficiencies, and create unified access control environments. The integration of SALTO electronic locks with Kantech EntraPass delivers exactly that: a single, powerful platform to manage both traditional access control doors and electronic locks, replacing mechanical keys with a smarter, scalable solution.

One Platform, Total Control

With this integration, day-to-day operations become easier and more efficient. EntraPass operators can view, monitor, and control both Kantech-managed doors and SALTO locks from a single interface. Events from both ecosystems blend seamlessly, enabling the same reporting, alarm triggers, and video associations that EntraPass users already rely on.

Smarter Card Technology

At the heart of this solution is the ioSmart card and reader ecosystem. These smart cards automatically encode and revalidate access rights for SALTO locks simply by being presented at any ioSmart reader connected to Kantech controllers such as KT-1, KT-2, and KT-4. With SALTO’s data-on-card approach (SVN), offline locks stay updated with access permissions, block lists, and even battery information—without costly wiring. This integration works hand-in-hand with Salto Space software, ensuring both online and offline locks are efficiently managed within the broader Kantech ecosystem.

Simplified Installation and Management

Installing SALTO hardware is quick and flexible, with options for aluminum doors, panic bars, lockers, padlocks, cabinets, and more. Popular devices include the SALTO XS4 Mini, the SALTO XS4 Original+, and a wide variety of wireless and offline locks suited for every type of opening. Once a SALTO lock is programmed and imported into EntraPass, ongoing configuration—such as schedules, unlock times, or anti-passback rules—can be managed directly within EntraPass. This eliminates duplicate programming and reduces installation costs.

Key Benefits of SALTO + Kantech Integration

  • Reduced Operational Costs: Eliminate mechanical keys and dual programming. Manage unlock schedules, access levels, and policies in EntraPass to save on installation and ongoing maintenance while improving workflows.
  • Actionable Visibility (Real-Time for Online; Card-Based for Offline): Get real-time status, events, and commands for Kantech doors and SALTO online/wireless locks. For offline SALTO locks, status and updates travel via the card: battery and lock data are written to the credential and reported back when the card is presented at an ioSmart reader—so you still capture meaningful events without building a wireless network everywhere.
  • Scalable and Flexible Architecture: Start small and grow to multi-site enterprise deployments. Merge SALTO locks and Kantech doors—including those controlled by KT-1, KT-2, and KT-4 controllers—into a logical site hierarchy and manage them consistently in one interface. Integration with Salto Space provides additional flexibility for managing wireless and offline locks across multiple facilities.

Seamless Video Integration

A unique advantage of this ecosystem is the ability to link access events to video evidence. With exacqVision video management software and Illustra cameras, every Kantech or SALTO event can be tied to corresponding video playback. Even if a SALTO door is offline at the time of access, the event is written to the card and later synchronized at an online point. Once synced, the event becomes searchable in EntraPass and is associated with the right video clip—ensuring operators never lose visibility, regardless of lock type or connectivity.

A Future-Ready Solution

Interactive maps and graphical icons in EntraPass provide real-time visibility for Kantech doors and SALTO online/wireless locks, and display last-reported information for offline locks captured through the data-on-card workflow. By combining SALTO’s expertise in electronic locking and Salto Space software with Kantech’s proven access control ecosystem—and extending it with exacqVision and Illustra video integration—organizations gain a flexible, efficient, and cost-effective path to upgrade security without disrupting existing operations.
