Big things are on the horizon at Malibu!

On October 22, we're going live for the Malibu 3.2 Launch Party — and we're giving our dealers a first look at what's next.

We're introducing two new ways we're investing in the dealer experience:

Dealer Dashboard
More visibility. More control. A better way to manage your Malibu business.
License Direct Program
Licensing made easier — with Malibu Support.

Because growing with Malibu should mean getting better tools and better support along the way.

Join us live.

We hope everyone had a great Labor Day weekend! 🇺🇸

Now it’s back to work — and we’re getting closer to GSX 2026 in Atlanta.

Our Monday, September 14 meeting slots are officially booked, but we still have availability on Tuesday and Wednesday.

If you’re attending GSX, this is your chance to sit down with Malibu CEO Joseph Harwell, talk access control, and get a sneak peek at what Malibu has coming soon for our dealers. 👀

We’ve been listening, building, and investing in ways to make it even easier to do business with Malibu — and we’re excited to start sharing what’s next.

Tuesday and Wednesday availability is limited, so reserve your time while there are still openings.

New month. More happening at Malibu. 👀

We’ve always believed access control should be easier — for the people who install it, the people who manage it, and the people who use it every day.

That means continuing to focus on what matters:

Mobile access that feels simple
More ownership and control for end users
Straightforward installation for dealers
Competitive pricing
Direct relationships and responsive support

And we’re not standing still.

September is going to be a busy month at Malibu. We’ve been listening, building, and improving — and there are some big things on the horizon.

We can’t share everything just yet… but we’re getting closer. 👀

Want an early look and access behind the scenes on what is going on at Malibu?

We’ll be at GSX in Atlanta, September 14–16. Book a 30-minute meeting with the Malibu team and come see what we’ve been working on. 👉 https://calendar.app.google/tjNZgmmjo1SFdEfEA

A Friday thought about access control...

As businesses grow, traditional keys can quickly become harder to manage—employees change, access needs evolve, locations expand, and keeping track of who has access becomes more complicated.

Modern access control can make that easier.
At Malibu, mobile access is just the beginning.

📱 Modern mobile access
🔐 End users maintain ownership of their data
💲 Competitive pricing
🛠️ Straightforward installation

Because better access control shouldn’t just be easier to use. It should also be easier to own, easier to install, and easier to manage.

Our latest blog breaks down 5 signs your business may have outgrown traditional keys and locks.

Your success shouldn’t depend on a quota.

At Malibu, we believe our products, service, and the value we deliver should earn your business—not a quota.

We don’t believe dealers should have to buy a certain amount of product just to maintain a manufacturer relationship. We’d rather give you solutions you believe in, direct support when you need it, and the flexibility to grow your business your way.

Because a strong dealer relationship shouldn’t be forced. It should be earned—and that means continuing to invest in the products, service, and experience we deliver.

There are big things happening on the horizon at Malibu—and we’re excited for our dealers to see what’s coming next. 👀

We want to hear what you’re seeing in the field.

What’s working?
What isn’t?
And where can access control do better?

Some manufacturers know their distributors.
We know our dealers.

In access control, it’s common for products to move through layers of distribution before they ever reach the people selling and installing them.

Malibu chose a different model.
We sell directly and work directly with our dealers. No distributors. No extra middleman.

We know who they are.
We hear what they’re seeing in the field.
We listen to what their customers are asking for.
And we don’t want the first conversation with a dealer to happen only when something goes wrong.
Why does that matter?

Because every additional layer can create more distance between the manufacturer, the dealer and ultimately the end user — and can add pressure to the economics of the project along the way.

We believe there’s a better way.
A direct relationship gives our dealers more visibility, more flexibility and a real connection to the people behind the product.

And it gives Malibu something equally important: a direct understanding of what our dealers and their customers actually need.

We believe taking care of the end user starts with taking care of the dealers who serve them.

Earlier this week, we talked about the real long-term cost of access control — because the installation quote is only part of the story.

But cost is only one piece of the decision.

Before choosing an access control system, there are several questions every property owner, manager, builder, or business should be asking:

• What happens if I stop paying for licensing?
• Do I actually own the hardware I’m purchasing?
• What will this system realistically cost me over 5 years?
• Can the system grow and adapt with my needs?
• What kind of support will I receive after installation?
• Can I talk to customers already using the system?

The answers can tell you a lot about what you're really committing to.

We put together 6 Questions to Ask Before Buying Access Control to help you compare systems with more confidence — and avoid surprises later.

👉 Read the full Buyer’s Guide:

Choosing an access control system is really choosing a Dealer. Six questions to ask every Dealer you get a quote from — and what their answers tell you.

08/11/2026

What will your access control system really cost you over the next 5 years?

The installation price is only part of the picture.

Hardware. Licensing. Credential fees. Support. Even the cost of switching systems later can all affect what you actually spend — and how much control you have over your system.

Malibu is built around a different approach:

✓ Choose Malibu hardware or keep compatible existing hardware
✓ Core access continues without optional licensing
✓ Designed to reduce ongoing cost surprises
✓ Support and maintenance options that add real value
✓ You own your Malibu hardware and maintain more flexibility

If you’re managing a multifamily property, HOA, commercial building, new development, or multiple locations, we’d love to help answer your questions and see how we can support your access control needs.

Access control is not just about doors, cards, or mobile credentials.

It is a long-term decision that can affect your costs, flexibility, support, and control for years.

Before choosing a system, ask:

• Do I own what I am buying?
• What happens if I stop paying monthly fees?
• Will the system still work without internet access?
• Can it grow with my property or organization?
• Who supports me after installation?

Malibu believes end users deserve clear answers before they commit.

Know what you’re buying. Know what you’ll own.
