Every UniFi Access part, side by side.

UniFi Access replaces keys with a card, a phone or a face. Each door needs a hub that fires the lock and a reader that checks the person. This page shows every hub, reader and lock we install, what each one does, and what it needs. No monthly fee, ever.

The short answer

One hub per door, one reader per side, then pick the lock.

ONE DOOR, TIGHT BUDGET

Access Ultra

Reader and hub in one small unit. One cable, one door, done. The cheapest way to put a card reader on a door.

MOST OFFICE DOORS

Door Hub Mini

A small hub that fires the lock and powers a reader. Pair it with a G3 Reader or Reader Flex on the outside.

A GATE OR A GARAGE

Gate Hub

Rated to minus 30. Drives two gate operators and a side door. The only hub that lives outdoors.

What every UniFi Access door needs

A hub, a reader, a lock and a console.

1

A hub at the door

The hub sits inside, above the door or in the closet. It powers the reader, fires the lock and reads the door sensor. One hub per door, or the Access Ultra which is hub and reader in one. Door Hub Mini for most doors.

2

A reader on the outside

The reader is what people tap. Card, phone, PIN or face, depending on the model. Flex for a plain reader, G3 Reader for the basics, G3 Intercom when visitors need to call in. Reader Flex is the workhorse.

3

A lock and a console

An electric strike or mag lock on the door, wired to the hub. Then a UniFi console that runs Access, which is any gateway or recorder on our list. See gateways or recorders.

Before you ask

Common questions.

Do I need a hub for every door?

Yes, one hub per door, or an Access Ultra which is hub and reader together. The hub is what fires the lock and powers the reader.

Can people use their phone instead of a card?

Yes. G3 readers take Apple Wallet, Google Wallet and the UniFi app. Cards and fobs still work for people who want them.

Is there a monthly fee?

No. UniFi Access runs on the console you own. Add users, set schedules and pull logs with no subscription.

Can I keep my existing locks?

Often. Most electric strikes and mag locks wire straight to a hub. We check the lock hardware on the site walk.

Want it picked and installed?

Book a design assessment. We count the doors, pick the hub and reader for each one, check the lock hardware you already have, and quote it. The fee comes off the install.
