Doordeck uses NFC technology, the building’s access control server and Doordeck’s cloud infrastructure to unlock doors using NFC keyless entry.
The Doordeck contactless NFC tile works alongside the Doordeck software to enable NFC smart unlocking. Doordeck was the first company to embrace using Android and iPhone NFC for building access control.

The assigned Doordeck building admin will have access to all the doors in the building, those doors are then shared by them to the appropriate users. When a user logs into the Doordeck app and touches an NFC tile, the app will validate against the server to check if that user has door access. If the user does not have access, they will get a cross signifying that their request has been rejected. If a user touches a Doordeck NFC tile for a door that they do have access to, the door will unlock. If a user is removed from the system, they will lose access to the building.
The validation is done through both the user’s token from the app, the building’s server and the Doordeck server. All these keys are encrypted and can only be decrypted by the holder of the private digital key. Doordeck uses the same highest levels of banking and military grade encryption.
The Doordeck contactless NFC tile is paired to your door access system and the door or doors that you want to unlock. The employee’s smartphone and the Doordeck NFC Tile provides smart keyless entry to gates, turnstiles and doors.
Unlocking is as simple and quick as a contactless payment using your bank card’s passive NFC chip. If you’ve been granted access to a door just tap the tile with your smartphone and you’re in.
Our digital pass for a visitor means they don't even need to have the Doordeck app installed, just scan the QR code to unlock doors. A digital key can be shared by a building admin or host via email for a temporary period of time. The visitor can also use NFC for door access by downloading the app to unlock a door using NFC or by scanning the QR code.
Our visitor management system can also be used for issuing digital tickets for events.
Doordeck enables NFC smart unlocking using the Apple Watch without the need to get your smartphone out of your pocket.
