Alfred and ELK Announce Smart Lock Integration, with Live Demo at ISC West
New Z-Wave integration enables unified security and access automation.
Las Vegas, NV – March 20, 2026 – ISC West Booth #7042 – Alfred International, a provider of innovative smart lock solutions, today announced a new integration with the ELK Products E27 Alarm Engine platform. Built on the Z-Wave protocol, the integration allows security professionals and system integrators to incorporate Alfred’s Z-Wave smart locks directly into ELK’s security and automation ecosystem, enabling unified control of access and alarm systems.
The integration connects Alfred’s Z-Wave-enabled smart locks with the ELK Alarm Engine platform and the ElkConnect mobile application, enabling users to manage door locks alongside their broader security and automation system. Installers and end users can lock and unlock doors, monitor lock status, and create automation rules that link access events with security system actions.
By combining smart lock access control with professional security systems, the integration enables a range of automation scenarios designed to enhance both security and convenience, including:
- Automatically arming the security system when a door is locked
- Unlocking doors when the security system is disarmed
- Generating alerts when a door is unlocked unexpectedly
- Automatically disarming the alarm when an authorized user enters a PIN code at the lock
“Alfred and ELK are expanding the Z-Wave ecosystem by bringing smart lock integration directly into professional security systems,” said Brad Cook, Head of Product & Integrations at Alfred International. “As security systems evolve into more connected platforms, access control plays a critical role in the overall experience. By integrating with ELK Alarm Engine, we’re enabling security professionals to deliver solutions that are not only secure, but also more responsive, automated, and aligned with how people use their homes and properties every day.”
The integration also provides system visibility features, including event logging, notifications, signal strength monitoring, and battery status reporting. It supports a wide range of installation environments, including residential, high-end residential, light commercial, and government applications.
“All Z-Wave Alfred smart locks are compatible with the ELK Alarm Engine platform, making it easy for dealers to integrate modern smart access control into security installations,” said Mike Burrell, President of ELK Products. “Alfred stood out as a partner because of the reliability of its Z-Wave products and the strength of its smart lock portfolio. This integration reflects our continued focus on expanding the ELK platform into a more connected, lifestyle-driven experience—where security, automation, and access control work together seamlessly.”
At ISC West, attendees can experience the integration firsthand at ELK Products’ Booth #8032, located just one aisle from Alfred, where live demonstrations will showcase Alfred smart locks integrated with the ELK E27 Alarm Engine. Visitors will see how the ElkConnect app and rules-based automation enable seamless control of Alfred Z-Wave-enabled smart locks as part of a unified security system.
The integration is available now. Installers can configure Alfred locks within the ELK E27 Alarm Engine platform and utilize the automation rules engine to create customized workflows that link locks with security system events.
