Alfred International has announced that its ML2 Smart Mortise Lock, DB2S, and DB1 Pro Smart Deadbolt Series — each built on Z-Wave Long Range (ZWLR) 800 Series technology — have earned certification from Alarm.com. The certification expands Alfred’s compatibility with one of the most widely deployed and trusted smart security platforms in North America and reinforces the company’s leadership in delivering scalable, interoperable access control solutions.
The certification validates Alfred’s implementation of the latest generation of Z-Wave technology, delivering measurable improvements in wireless range, network reliability, scalability, and power efficiency. By certifying multiple smart lock platforms on ZWLR 800 Series simultaneously, Alfred expands the practical deployment options available to integrators, builders, and property managers working across single-family, multifamily, and mixed-use environments.
All three certified Alfred platforms leverage ZWLR on the 800 Series, enabling projects to take advantage of long-range, point-to-hub communication or traditional Z-Wave mesh networking within the same application. This flexibility allows system designers to tailor connectivity strategies based on building layout, density, and infrastructure — without changing hardware.
While Z-Wave certification establishes protocol compliance, Alarm.com certification represents a deeper level of validation, confirming that Alfred’s ZWLR 800 Series smart locks meet the operational, security, and performance requirements of one of the most trusted smart security platforms in North America. This additional testing reflects real-world implementation, interoperability, and long-term reliability expectations.
