Quext Launches Resident Key in Apple Wallet and Google Wallet

LUBBOCK, Texas, Nov. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Quext, an award-winning smart technology company transforming the multifamily industry, today announced the launch of NFC-enabled resident key in Apple Wallet® and Google Wallet™ through a seamless integration with Schlage mobile access solutions from Allegion. This new feature allows residents to unlock their apartment homes and shared community spaces using their iPhone®, Apple Watch®, or Android™ phones and Wear OS devices, eliminating the hassle of traditional keys and delivering a frictionless, modern living experience.

"This is a big step forward in making apartment access as intuitive as everything else we already do on our phones," said Jared Krause, Chief Product & Marketing Officer at Quext. "With Allegion and Schlage, we're giving residents a secure, intuitive way to unlock their doors with a device they already carry- no more digging for keys, no more losing keys. It's the kind of innovation that sets our customers apart and makes them the first to offer truly cutting-edge technology."

With Near Field Communication (NFC) technology, residents can simply hold their devices near a lock reader to gain entry. No need to open an app, or even wake up your device, just tap to unlock. Users also benefit from Power Reserve mode, which allows use of a resident key in Apple Wallet for several hours after the device battery needs a charge.

For residents:

This means fewer headaches and one less thing to remember, because when your key lives in your phone, you've already got it in your pocket.

For property managers:

This update eliminates the need for managing physical keys or fobs. Through the Quext platform, operators can instantly issue, revoke, or update credentials from a single dashboard, simplifying operations while improving resident satisfaction.

Key benefits include:

• Mobile resident key from Schlage in Apple Wallet and Google Wallet
• Tap-to-unlock access without opening an app or unlocking Apple® or Android™ device
• Built-in Power Reserve for continued access even with a low iPhone battery
• Privacy-first design: credentials are stored on the user's personal device
• Secure guest key sharing
• Instant credential management for property operators

"We're proud to work with Quext to deliver a seamless, secure access experience through Apple Wallet and Google Wallet," said Ann Timme, Senior Manager of Brand and Solutions Marketing at Allegion. "This integration highlights how Schlage's proven mobile access technology can elevate convenience for residents while giving property teams more control and peace of mind."

The wallet-based resident key feature is now available at select properties, with wider rollout planned across Quext's customer network in the coming months.
