BEYOND THE KEY HANDOVER
Your next check-in,
without the key exchange.
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.

More control for you.
Bring guest access, cleaning visits and property care into one considered routine.
Permissions that suit the visit
Give cleaning and maintenance teams their own access, rather than sharing a permanent guest code.
Clear instructions before arrival
Guests receive the details they need to find the entrance, use the keypad and lock up when they leave.
A practical backup plan
Agree what happens if a battery runs low, a guest needs help or the door cannot be opened as expected.
Recognised technology.

Your smart lock questions, answered.
Will a smart lock work on my door?
That depends on the door, existing hardware and building rules. We review suitability before suggesting equipment or installation.
Can guests arrive late?
Keypad entry can support arrivals within the hours agreed for the property. Quiet hours and building restrictions still apply.
Can cleaners have separate access?
Where supported, team members can receive their own permissions, with access limited to the visits they need.
What if Wi-Fi or power is unavailable?
Local keypad operation, batteries and remote features vary by model. We confirm how the selected device behaves and agree a backup access plan.
Will guests need to download an app?
Many keypad systems allow code entry without an app. The instructions explain the exact steps for your chosen lock.
