Amenity access on the same cloud platform as your intercom
JB Technologies installs ButterflyMX Smart Locks across Georgia multifamily, mixed-use, and office buildings. The Smart Lock is a connected lock built for amenity spaces, gym, mailroom, package room, pool deck, parking garage door, business center, cowork lounge, dog wash, bike room, or any other shared space where residents and tenants need access without a key or fob.
The advantage is platform consolidation. If your building already runs ButterflyMX Video Intercom at the front entry, the Smart Lock runs on the same cloud platform, with the same property management integrations (Yardi, RealPage, Entrata, AppFolio), the same mobile app, and the same admin console. Your residents get one credential that opens the lobby, the gym, the package room, and the garage. Your property manager provisions and revokes that credential in one place. Your maintenance team does not learn a second system.
What we install
A typical JBT ButterflyMX Smart Lock scope for a Georgia multifamily building covers:
- Gym and fitness center access, with optional time-of-day restrictions so the gym is residents-only during off-hours
- Mailroom access, separated from general lobby so residents can pick up mail without anyone else reaching the package area
- Package Room access, paired with the ButterflyMX Package Room camera so couriers can drop off without buzzing the front desk
- Pool deck and amenity deck access, including seasonal scheduling
- Parking garage pedestrian doors between the garage and the building, separate from the vehicle gate
- Business center, cowork lounge, conference rooms with optional reservation-based access through the property management system
- Bike room, dog wash, package locker rooms and other secondary amenities
Integration with the broader ButterflyMX platform
Smart Locks plug into the ButterflyMX cloud so that everything you do at the Video Intercom panel, adding a new resident, revoking a former tenant, granting a service technician temporary access, propagates to every amenity lock automatically. Through the integrations with Yardi, RealPage, Entrata, and AppFolio, you do not have to maintain separate user lists for the intercom and the smart locks.
ButterflyMX Smart Locks also integrate with select third-party access platforms including HID Origo, Brivo, and OpenPath (now Avigilon Alta Access) for buildings that already run those systems on perimeter doors. JBT designs and installs both ButterflyMX-native deployments and mixed deployments where ButterflyMX handles the resident-facing intercom and amenity access while a separate enterprise system handles back-of-house, server room, or corporate access doors.
Hardware and door prep
The ButterflyMX Smart Lock is designed to fit standard commercial door prep. JBT crews handle door alignment checks during the site walk, install the lock with proper strike alignment and weather sealing where exterior, run any necessary low-voltage cabling for door position sensors or request-to-exit hardware where the design calls for them, and confirm Bluetooth and cellular signal at each lock location during commissioning. If a door needs a power transfer hinge, a new strike, or any frame modification, we coordinate with the locksmith or door supplier so the install happens in one site visit rather than three.
Use cases beyond multifamily
While the largest market for ButterflyMX Smart Locks is multifamily, we also install them in:
- Class-A office amenity floors, including fitness centers, mother's rooms, bike rooms, and conference rooms accessed by tenant employees with the same ButterflyMX mobile credential the building uses for the lobby intercom
- Mixed-use developments combining retail, office, and residential, where the locks unify access across the residential and amenity portions of the property
- Short-term rental and Airbnb portfolios, paired with the ButterflyMX Key Locker for clean handoff between guests
What ordering looks like
Call JBT at (770) 637-2094 or visit jbtecknologies.com/partners/butterflymx for the brand hub. We will walk your building, inventory amenity doors, confirm cellular and Wi-Fi signal at each lock location, propose a scope, and coordinate installation around your operations schedule. For new construction, we participate in low-voltage rough-in coordination with your GC and electrical team so the locks are commissioned by the time the building opens.
