CARBORO, NC (March 23, 2026) — Z9 Security today announced a new integration between Z9/Flex, its cloud-based access management and integration platform, and Last Lock, a provider of smart lock hardware designed for modern access control environments. The integration enables organizations using Z9/Flex to deploy and manage Last Lock smart locks as part of a broader, hardware-agnostic access ecosystem—without being locked into a single hardware vendor or proprietary system.
Last Lock has developed a highly differentiated smart lock platform that combines modern industrial design, robust hardware engineering, and a cloud-native management architecture built for scale. Designed from the ground up to support secure connectivity, flexible credentialing, and remote lifecycle management, the Last Lock platform enables organizations to deploy smart locks that are both powerful and operationally simple. By integrating with Z9/Flex, Last Lock’s advanced smart lock platform is now available to the broader ecosystem of Z9/Flex software partners, extending its reach across a wide range of access control applications.
“Hardware choice and flexibility are critical as access control environments continue to evolve,” said Ken Larson, president of Z9 Security. “Integrating Last Lock hardware into the Z9/Flex ecosystem gives customers another high-quality smart lock option while preserving the ability to scale, adapt, and integrate with other access technologies over time.”
“Last Lock was built to rethink what smart lock platforms can be: secure, cloud-connected, and designed to scale across real-world deployments,” said Alex Mahnke, Chief Product Officer at Last Lock. “By integrating with Z9/Flex, we’re extending that vision even further, enabling our smart locks to operate within a broader, hardware-agnostic access ecosystem and giving customers and partners greater flexibility in how they design and evolve their access control solutions.”
The Z9/Flex and Last Lock integration is available immediately. Customers interested in deploying Last Lock smart locks through Z9/Flex can contact Z9 Security or Last Lock for more information.
