Smart Locks & Access Control

Consumer smart locks (Yale, Schlage, August, Level) are designed for one to three doors and a handful of users. They are app-driven, run on AA or proprietary batteries, and are perfect for homes, small offices, and short-term rentals.

Commercial access-control (Salto, Brivo, Openpath, HID) is built for many doors, many users, and tight permissioning. Credentials are managed from a cloud or on-premise dashboard, doors are wired or battery-powered, and the system can enforce time-based access, anti-passback, and emergency lockdown.

We routinely install hybrids — a commercial access-control front door with consumer smart locks on interior offices, or a single Salto network with mobile credentials for tenants and physical fobs for staff. We will scope it to what you actually need, not the most expensive option.

Auto-generated, time-limited codes for each booking — created and revoked automatically via integrations with Airbnb, Vrbo, Hospitable, and Guesty.

Per-cleaner and per-vendor codes with their own schedules, so you know who entered and when.

Battery monitoring and remote unlock so a guest never has to wait on a property manager.

Tamper alerts so you are notified the moment someone tries to defeat the lock — particularly useful for unattended properties.

Any lock with a track record of cloud shutdowns that bricked customer hardware.

Cheap import keypad locks sold under multiple white-label names — they fail on cold mornings and have weak motor housings that wear out within a year.

Locks that require a paid subscription just to use the app or generate codes.

We will tell you exactly why we won't install something — and what we would install in its place at a similar price point.
