ASSA ABLOY Aperio® P100B-100 Wireless Padlock - RFID + BLE Mobile Access, IP66
The ASSA ABLOY Aperio® P100 is a battery-powered wireless access control padlock designed to bring non-standard openings into an Electronic Access Control (EAC) system without wiring the opening. It is commonly used for gates, fences, cages, containers, and tool storage where a traditional door lockset is not practical.
The P100B-100 communicates using 2.4 GHz Aperio wireless (IEEE 802.15.4) to a compatible Aperio communication hub, while supporting 13.56 MHz RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) credentials and BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) mobile credentials. Communication is protected with AES 128-bit encryption, and the padlock includes smart credential handling features to help maintain access during system or communications issues.
Special Order - estimated 12 business days from order.
The Aperio P100B-100 is a restricted product that can only be sold to accredited installers. It is a special order item with an estimated lead time of 12 business days and is non-returnable unless faulty. Confirm specifications and system compatibility with your access control installer before ordering.
Key Features
- Wireless Aperio integration — extend an Electronic Access Control system to non-standard openings without wiring the opening.
- RFID + BLE mobile access in the same device — 13.56 MHz RFID credentials and Bluetooth Low Energy smartphone credentials supported simultaneously.
- AES 128-bit encrypted wireless communication between padlock and Aperio hub.
- IP66 rated for outdoor environments — rated when locked and upright (see Installation Notes).
- Smart credential handling — up to 10 override credentials stored for emergency access; up to 1,000 last-valid credentials cached for up to 30 days to maintain access during comms or EAC interruptions.
- LED status indication for clear visual feedback on credential acceptance.

Full Specifications
Dimensions
All dimensions shown in millimetres. Shackle diameter 8.7 mm. Refer to the Aperio Technical Catalogue for detailed dimensional tolerances and installation clearances.
Battery, Power & Backup Access
- Powered by 1 x Lithium CR2 battery.
- Battery life: up to 30,000 cycles (max 2 years) under normal conditions.
- A battery change tool is supplied with the padlock for servicing.
- No emergency power input is specified for the P100 padlock - plan battery maintenance to avoid access failure.
- No mechanical key override - access is credential-based only (RFID or BLE mobile). See our guide to smart padlocks with no key override for what this means in practice.
Remote Access & System Integration (Aperio Hub Required)
The Aperio P100 is not a Wi-Fi padlock. It communicates using 2.4 GHz Aperio wireless (IEEE 802.15.4) to a compatible Aperio communication hub, which then links back to your Electronic Access Control system. Online or offline integration depends on the EAC and hub configuration.
Supported hub accessories for integration include the AH30-3-0 (1:16 RS485) and AH40-4-0 (1:64 IP/Ethernet).
Installation & Operation Notes
- IP66 condition: The IP66 rating applies only when the padlock is locked and held in an upright position. Do not rely on the IP66 rating when the padlock is open or tilted.
- Battery access clearance: Allow at least 20 mm shackle clearance for battery change access. Confirm clearance is available in the intended installation position before fitting.
- Avoid high-pressure wash-down, submersion, and corrosive or explosive environments. Refer to the installation instructions PDF for full environmental exclusions.
- This product must be installed by an accredited installer. It is not intended for end-user self-installation.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. The P100 is not a Wi-Fi padlock. It uses Aperio 2.4 GHz wireless (IEEE 802.15.4) to communicate with an Aperio hub, which then connects to the access control system. The padlock itself has no Wi-Fi capability.
Yes. This model supports BLE mobile credentials in addition to RFID credentials. Both credential types are available in the same device and are managed through the connected EAC system.
No mechanical key override is specified for the P100 padlock. Access is credential-based only (RFID or BLE mobile). Plan battery maintenance accordingly to ensure access is not lost due to a depleted battery.
Yes - the P100 is rated IP66. The IP66 rating applies when the padlock is locked and upright. Avoid submersion, high-pressure wash-down, and corrosive environments. For coastal Queensland installations, review the IP rating guide and follow maintenance intervals recommended in the installation instructions.
The P100B-100 supports 13.56 MHz RFID across multiple technologies including MIFARE Classic, DESFire, Plus, Ultralight and SE variants, as well as iCLASS SE, iCLASS Seos, and iCLASS Seos Elite. Confirm your EAC system's credential issuance standard with your installer before specifying.
Additional Information
Recommended use case: The P100B-100 is suited to upgrading non-standard openings - gates, cages, containers, and similar - into a managed Electronic Access Control system without running wiring to each opening. The system infrastructure cost (Aperio hub and EAC integration) must be factored into the project scope. This is an enterprise-grade access control padlock, not a standalone consumer smart lock, and is specified and commissioned by accredited installers.
System dependency: Access control decisions are made in the EAC system when integrated online. Offline behaviour - including the credential cache (up to 1,000 credentials, up to 30 days) - depends on the EAC and hub configuration. This must be confirmed with the integrating installer before deployment.
Choosing between P100B-100 and P100B-200: The P100B-100 is the appropriate choice where chain hardware is already present at the opening. The P100B-200 supplies chain and clamp hardware for new installations requiring chain retention at a gate or fence. The padlock body and electronics are identical.
Maintenance: Keep seals correctly seated during battery servicing to maintain the IP66 ingress protection rating. Use only specified Lithium CR2 batteries. For context on long-term performance expectations in Queensland's climate, see the realities of electronic locks in coastal environments.
