Introduction: Schlage and NterNow team up to show end-to-end access for builders
Allegion plc’s Schlage brand and recently acquired NterNow are jointly showcasing an integrated on-demand, self-guided tour and residential access platform at the 2026 International Builders’ Show (IBS) in Orlando. The demonstration highlights a combined pre-closing and post-closing solution for single-family homes that pairs NterNow’s managed self-tour software with Schlage’s lock hardware and security software. Executives present the integration as a builder-focused product that aims to make home showings more secure, convenient and scalable.
Allegion’s lifecycle access play is centerpiece at IBS
Allegion positions the Schlage–NterNow pairing as a whole-lifecycle proptech solution that connects builder-facing, on-demand access before closing with homeowner-facing smart security after move-in. David Perozzi, general manager of Allegion Home, says the combination expands value to builders by offering a seamless handoff from sales and showings to long-term home security, creating a single trusted experience from first tour to occupancy. The companies stress enterprise-grade security and managed access controls as differentiators that reduce risk during unattended showings.
Operational and commercial benefits for builders and sales teams
The platform is designed to streamline prospecting and showing logistics, enabling prospective buyers to tour new homes at times that fit them while providing builders and sales teams with audit trails, time-bound access and the ability to scale showings without added staff. Barrett Davis, founder and now director of NterNow, frames the partnership as a way to widen the number of builders served by combining software-driven access management with Schlage’s installed hardware and brand recognition. Allegion underscores measurable efficiency gains and improved buyer workflows as routes to better conversion of prospects into buyers.
First public demo and builder reaction at IBS
At IBS attendees see NterNow’s self-tour workflows integrated with Schlage locks for the first time, with company executives emphasizing user experience and security validation. The live presence serves both as a sales platform and a proof point for builders evaluating technology to reduce friction in the sales cycle.
Industry positioning and demand signal
The move places Allegion more squarely in the single-family proptech market, aiming to meet growing builder demand for secure, flexible access solutions that cover pre-closing showings through homeowner security, and to give property managers and sales teams tighter operational control.
