2N Fortis: extend your access solution to where cables can’t reach

Exclusively for the EMEA market, we’re expanding the 2N portfolio to help you secure every door in the building – even the ones you couldn’t reach before.

The brand name "2N Fortis" in blue text behind two electronic cylinder and handle smart lock devices.

Introducing 2N Fortis, our brand-new line of wireless electronic locks that integrate seamlessly into the 2N access ecosystem. With 2N Fortis Handle and 2N Fortis Cylinder, you can now secure interior offices, meeting rooms, storage areas, and apartments – all without a single cable.

As a native part of the 2N ecosystem, these locks are centrally managed via 2N Access Commander, alongside your IP intercoms and access readers. The result? A truly end-to-end, keyless access control solution – from the main entrance all the way to the most remote interior door.

Why electronic locks?

Demand for smart, keyless access is growing – especially in mixed-use, residential, and commercial buildings. But not every door can support a wired access reader. Whether due to cost, complexity, or building constraints, many doors remain unsecured.

2N Fortis solves this problem. These wireless handles and electronic cylinders are cost-effective, fast to install, and ideal for retrofits, heritage buildings, or modern interiors where visible cabling would be disruptive. They combine the sleek design modern users expect with the robust functionality integrators need.

Meet the 2N Fortis electronic locks

2N Fortis Handle

Designed for busy office interiors, this stainless steel smart handle supports fast RFID access and offers a battery life of up to 230,000 operations. Available in multiple spindle versions, it fits most commercial doors made of wood, aluminium, or metal – even narrow-frame types.

2N Fortis Cylinder

Built for residential use, this electronic cylinder is perfect for apartment doors where a fully locked bolt (not just a latch) is required. Ideal for both new builds and retrofits, it’s available in indoor and outdoor versions (IP66) and supports popular cylinder types, including Euro profile and Scandinavian oval.

Why choose 2N Fortis?

  • Wireless installation – no drilling, no cables, no special tools
  • Battery powered – with long-lasting performance in real-world conditions
  • Modular construction – fits most European doors thanks to various spindle and electronic cylinder profiles
  • Proven 2N reliability – including 5-year warranty, robust cybersecurity, and top-tier quality
  • Centralised management – handle all 2N devices via 2N Access Commander.

Works offline – and that’s smart

2N Fortis locks don’t need a constant connection to stay secure. They use a clever offline synchronisation process with your online 2N devices:

  1. The facility manager sets access rights and time profiles in 2N Access Commander.
  2. These changes are instantly synced to all online 2N devices, like IP intercoms and Access Units.
  3. When users swipe their RFID card at any online reader, the card is automatically updated with the latest access permissions.
  4. The updated card is then used to unlock the offline doors – the electronic cylinder reads and verifies the access rights stored on the card.

This approach ensures reliable access in areas with limited network coverage – without the need for gateways, hubs, or additional infrastructure.
