The array of different locks available today can make your purchasing decision confusing. With a variety of features to choose from, how do you know what lock is best for your bar, restaurant, hotel or office?

Investing in new technology is one way to improve your guest's experience. In recent years technology has had a positive influence on many areas of hospitality management, including applications for access control.
Elektronisk och smart locks are now commonly used in place of traditional key locks because they offer so much more in terms of convenience. Rather than using a key, access is gained by punching in a code on the keypad, using a card or phone.
The ability to offer keyless entry removes the hassle of storing, issuing, and replacing keys. The audit trail feature allows managers to keep track of when and where the lock was accessed.
Electronic locks and smart locks have a Master Code and can store multiple Sub-Master codes, allowing house-keeping and maintenance staff to be given their own codes. When a guest leaves, the manager or staff can access the room using their personal code, and delete the guest code at the same time. The door is then locked until activated by the next guest.
Similarly, rather than issuing a key for every door where you need to restrict access, you can simply issue a code. Employees can access areas out of bounds to the public without having to carry door keys. Entering a code into the door lock is quick and easy. And if an employee leaves the organisation, you can simply change the door code.
Digital door och cabinet locks have many applications within the world of hospitality and leisure. Smart locks are now being used to control door access to meeting rooms and keypad locks to secure service areas and cleaning cupboards.
