This is why smart locks have become a must-have for hosts or property managers. It allows them to forget about the traditional key handover and is now as simple as opening the door with a code, thus avoiding unnecessary trips to the property at any time.

Changes when using smart locks
A more secure accommodation:
The smart lock will allow you to increase security compared to traditional or mechanical locks. This type of lock has a mechanism that blocks the door if an attempt is made to open it by an unauthorised person. It also blocks when an attempt is made to force it open using a drill or a lever or any other external element outside the system.
Save time and money:
With this type of technology you can save time, as your guests can access the property even when you are not there. All this because the access is automatic. You will also save money because you will not have to travel to the tourist accommodation or have employees who are in the accommodation waiting for the guests. It is such an effective alternative that once you try it you will not be able to give it up.
No possibility of losing the keys:
There is no danger of the people who have access to the key losing it, making a duplicate or stealing it.
Limited automated access to your tourist accommodation
It only allows access and opens with people who are authorised. So, guests can open the door remotely with their phone, or pick up the keys inside a lock box that opens with a code received on their phone.
Programmable
Smart locks can be programmed with different access codes, different for each person. This way, you can regulate who enters your property, which days they can access, for how long, etc. This increases the control of who is authorised or not to enter.
Convenience for both owners and guests
With the smart lock, owners and managers no longer need to coordinate and schedule a date and time for key handover. Guests can check in and check out at their convenience.

This is a great advantage, especially when your guests may be delayed or arrive later due to any unforeseen events on their journey.
