DFACS Documentation

Ridiculously simple door control — built for gyms.

DFACS is the software brain of the DragonFly access control system. It connects your door hardware to your gym management platform and handles everything in between: validating members, controlling the lock, logging every entry, and keeping things running even when the internet doesn't.

Your doors shouldn't require your attention. DFACS makes sure they don't.

How It Works

Member scans barcode (or mobile / face)
              ↓
DFACS validates against your gym software in real time
              ↓
Active member → door unlocks automatically
Denied        → door stays locked, event logged
              ↓
Check-in syncs back to your platform

Built on Three Principles

Simplicity One controller. One connection. One system to manage. No fragile chains of components, no specialized expertise required.

Reliability Designed for 24/7 gym operations. Offline fallback keeps the door working when your internet doesn't. Fail-safe unlock protects your members when something goes wrong.

Security No member PII stored on-site. All credentials encrypted. Full audit log of every access event. Controlled access with confidence.
