iLOQ 5 Series+ residential access system launches in Australia, New Zealand

HELSINKI, Finland — iLOQ has launched its brand new 5 Series+ locking system and access-management platform, a mobile-first solution made for the residential market.

The launch taps into a broader digitalization trend, moving away from mechanical locks and keys toward keyless access management. For residents, this means greater convenience, such as being able to share digital keys with family members, delivery providers, or service staff remotely, without needing to replace or duplicate physical keys. The rollout of the new systems started in the United States and has now expanded to Australia, New Zealand, and Canada, with launches in other global markets expected over the remainder of 2025 and 2026.

“Access management should be about giving residents peace of mind and giving property managers tools that save time and reduce costs. Everyday life is increasingly managed through mobile devices, yet access to homes and shared spaces has lagged behind. With the 5 Series+, we’re aiming to bridge the convenience gap by providing digital-access tools that are as flexible as the mobile apps we use to bank, shop, and communicate,” explains Tomi Karjalainen, Chief Innovation Officer at iLOQ.

The launch comes at a time when property owners and facility managers are under increasing pressure to enhance building management and access systems, reduce operating costs, and meet residents’ rising demand for the convenience of mobile-first access services. The 5 Series+ operates without electricity or batteries and access rights are managed entirely in the cloud and activated through a resident’s smartphone.

In addition to new, upgraded locks, 5 Series+ also comes with a significantly upgraded, modular, back-office access-management platform.

“iLOQ’s battery-free and keyless smart locks have been a game-changer in the industry. They are integral components of modern access, and we are delighted to see our solutions being rolled out around the world,” Karjalainen continues.
