BROOMFIELD, CO – September 17, 2025 – The LEAF Community announced today that dormakaba, a global leader in access control solutions, and LEGIC, a global leader in secure access management solutions, have joined the global initiative dedicated to creating seamless interoperability in access control and credential management. This strategic partnership marks a significant milestone in the industry's evolution toward universal standards and collaborative innovation.
dormakaba brings decades of expertise in physical access control, security infrastructure, and comprehensive solutions that serve organizations across multiple industries worldwide. The company's commitment to the LEAF Community demonstrates its vision of a future where the meaning of interoperability is restored, and security solutions work seamlessly together.
"The decision of dormakaba and LEGIC to join our community represents a pivotal moment for the access control industry," said Rob Lydic, President of Wavelynx. "Their participation validates our vision of a future where organizations can choose the best security solutions for their needs without being constrained by proprietary limitations."
The LEAF Community unites technology providers, integrators, consultants, and enterprises around a shared mission: to offer customers the flexibility and freedom to design and implement secure solutions on their own terms. Through the LEAF credential standard, the community enables enterprises to integrate legacy systems with current and future physical and logical access solutions, embarking on a pathway to true physical and logical convergence without vendor lock-in.
dormakaba's participation brings significant value to the LEAF Community ecosystem:
“End users and partners continually ask for control of their security and interoperability within their ecosystem,” said Bret Holbrook, Senior Vice President of Access Control and Identity Management at dormakaba. “LEAF fits directly into our strategy of delivering electronic solutions that meet those requirements. We look forward to bringing that vision to life across our portfolio, including dormakaba and Farpointe electronic locks, readers, and credentials.”
The LEAF Community will showcase the growing momentum behind interoperable access control solutions at the upcoming LEGIC connect25 conference in Zurich on September 18th. This industry gathering provides an ideal platform to demonstrate how partnerships like the one with dormakaba, as well as other community members, are driving real-world adoption of universal standards and collaborative innovation in the access control sector.
“Our partners are increasingly seeking for flexible solutions. The LEAF interoperability initiative is well aligned with LEGIC’s core product principles and highlights the versatility of our access credential technologies,” said Mehdi Elhaoussine, General Manager at LEGIC.
The partnerships underscore a broader industry transformation as enterprises increasingly seek flexibility, choice, and control in their security infrastructure investments. By embracing universal standards, companies can modernize their access technology at their own pace while protecting existing investments.
