A code for the right stay
Set a defined access window for each reservation, with codes that expire where the chosen system supports it.
AVENOR STAYS · SMART LOCKS
Smart lock installation and access management for Airbnb and mid-term stays. Make arrivals easier, with a clear plan for every guest and every changeover.
BEYOND THE KEY HANDOVER
A late train or an early departure should not turn into a key-collection problem. A suitable keypad system gives guests a straightforward way in, within their agreed arrival times.
Physical keys to collect
Keypad entry, within agreed access hours
A separate code for each booking*
*Code scheduling and automation depend on the lock and booking integration selected.
THOUGHTFUL ACCESS
Bring guest access, cleaning visits and property care into one considered routine.
Set a defined access window for each reservation, with codes that expire where the chosen system supports it.
Give cleaning and maintenance teams their own access, rather than sharing a permanent guest code.
Guests receive the details they need to find the entrance, use the keypad and lock up when they leave.
Agree what happens if a battery runs low, a guest needs help or the door cannot be opened as expected.
We assess the door, building requirements and access routine before recommending equipment. Options may include these established smart lock brands.

Help guests settle in without arranging an in-person key exchange.
Make changing arrival times easier to accommodate.

That depends on the door, existing hardware and building rules. We review suitability before suggesting equipment or installation.
Keypad entry can support arrivals within the hours agreed for the property. Quiet hours and building restrictions still apply.
Where supported, team members can receive their own permissions, with access limited to the visits they need.
Local keypad operation, batteries and remote features vary by model. We confirm how the selected device behaves and agree a backup access plan.
