CODELOCKS
Give customers the luxury of self-service with time-sensitive smart locks
Hospitality managers need to ensure their guests enjoy their visit as much as possible.
There’ s so much to organise and coordinate, whether it’ s supplying a cleaner for a serviced apartment, ensuring catering is on time, or planning staff rotas. An extra concern is ensuring convenient access, without compromising on security. Codelocks has a solution that can help take care of this.
Access control smart locks that venues love
Codelocks has helped a range of venues enable its customers to host guests and events successfully. Its smart locks are self-service meaning that guests can access conference, meeting and guest rooms unaided. The locks can be accessed via code, card or phone and the clever NetCode technology built into the lock infrastructure allows code generation and audit trail monitoring. This assists managers with keeping track of when and where the lock was accessed by both staff and visitors.
By installing the K3 Connect App *, all aspects of smart locks can be managed easily from a smartphone. This includes generating timespecific codes that are sent to guests via email or SMS and automatically erased after use, ready for the next user. This function removes the need to have staff available to provide access for visitors and service staff.
“ The capability of being able to issue both codes for short-term rentals and smart cards adds an extra layer of convenience for both our customers and staff. We have a few longterm guests, so rather than provide them with a code, we give them each a smart card, which makes access more convenient. Our cleaning team also uses the cards,” explains David Diack, Director of Lifestyle Service Apartments.
Secure spaces
Codelocks’ KitLock locker locks are an ideal solution to providing a secure place to store possessions. They can be easily retrofitted onto existing lockers, cabinets, drawers and filing cupboards to provide secure spaces for both guests and staff to leave belongings.
These locks can be used to lock away confidential documents, such as guest booking information, helping your hotel ensure data protection compliance.
“ We were concerned that if keys went missing they may be copied and used to gain illegal entry, but we no longer worry about that. The guests no longer have to carry a key around with them while they enjoy the facilities and we don’ t have to pay to replace lost keys,” said the Leisure Manager at The Landmark Hotel.
