SQL Server Compatibility
If SQL is ALREADY INSTALLED on your computer:
- The Doors.NET installer will poll the host computer and use the SQL version that is already installed. This is true for both new Doors.NET installations and for Doors.NET upgrades.
If SQL is NOT INSTALLED on your computer:
64-bit computers:
- If SQL server is not present, then SQL Server 2016 Express will be installed.
32-bit computers:
- You must manually install the SQL revision appropriate for your operating system.
- Keri recommends installing SQL Server 2014 (the last SQL Server supporting 32-bit computers).

Please Note
Doors.NET software installation will not begin if a Windows Update is in progress or a computer restart is pending due to a Windows Update. Make sure all Windows Updates have been completed prior to installing Doors.NET.
New Product Release - Neutron Controller
Keri’s Neutron Controller is a small, low-cost, single-door controller. Up to eight Neutron controllers may be attached to a RS-485 network, originating at a PC or Keri appliance, to control eight doors with the option of using both in/out readers.
Neutron has been designed with low cost and small physical size in mind, yet maintains a powerful feature set, nearly equal to Keri’s NXT controllers. Neutron runs on the Visual Doors version of Keri’s Door.NET software and maintains a 1,000 credential capacity and a 4,000 event buffer (offline).
The Neutron controller is designed to work with Keri’s NXT readers in both 125kHz and 13.56MHz. Traditional 125 kHz Wiegand readers and keypads are not supported. Supplied inputs and relay outputs are fixed to supporting REX (Request to Exit), DPS (Door Position Switch), and Door Relay.
