Onity DirectKey: the latest innovation in electronic lock opening for hotels
In the hotel sector, comfort and good service matter as much as security and innovation. That's why you need to install electronic locks for hotels.
But what do we mean by special electronic locks for hotels?
That's what we'll cover in this article: one of the best options on the market, which will let you offer your guests an innovative service.
Today technology is driving innovation in every sector of the market, and the hotel industry is no exception. You can stand out through the service and convenience you offer guests
But it's not just about the comfort of the rooms and what you put in them, or access to different areas of the hotel.
On top of all that, you also need to make access convenient, and for that you can consider opening hotel doors with a mobile phone, as this will give your hotel more prestige and an innovative image while also increasing security.
Onity locks compatible with the DirectKey system
A clear example of DirectKey in action is the agreement Onity reached with the prestigious Marriott hotel chain.
Electronic locks: the latest advance in hospitality equipment
Electronic locks are the latest innovation in hospitality equipment. In fact, some models include the option to open hotel doors with a mobile phone. We want to help you get to know the different solutions available to you.
So if you own or manage a hotel, this article is especially for you, because opening hotel doors with a mobile phone will increase security and improve service.
Below we present some of the advantages you can enjoy with the different versions of electronic locks for hotels :
Advantage #1: Greater security in your hotel
First, consider your hotel's security. Traditional or mechanical locks can be forced or bypassed.
However, thanks to its mechanism, the electronic hotel lock locks the door if an unauthorised person tries to get into the room.
If someone tries to force it open with a drill, the electronic lock also locks, as it does if a crowbar or any other tool that isn't part of the system is used.
Advantage #2: Minimises the risk of loss and ensures effective room access control
With electronic locks, you avoid the risk of guests or staff losing keys.
You won't have to worry about anyone copying or stealing mechanical keys.
You can therefore rely on greater security in this regard and minimise the risk of loss; as a result, hotel management gets more effective access control.
Advantage #3: Prevents unauthorised access to hotel rooms
You'll be able to restrict access to rooms, and even to any other hotel facility, more effectively.
For example, when you offer an all-inclusive package for certain guest tiers, you can programme their access to facilities such as the gym and other exclusive hotel areas.
With electronic locks you can be sure there will be no access breaches.
Advantage #4: Ideal for all types of doors
If you're worried about whether your doors can be fitted with innovative, high-tech locks, such as Onity's DirectKey mobile door opening system, you can relax.
A major advantage of electronic locks is that they can be installed on almost any type of door, and we have electronic cylinders for places where electronic locks can't be fitted.
So if you don't have this type of lock yet, it's time to consider replacing your current ones and enjoying the advantages of electronic locks: better service and greater security for your hotel at the same time.
Advantage #5: Electronic locks with DirectKey
This is the last advantage we'll present in this article: electronic locks with a Bluetooth module that can be opened by mobile phone with Onity DirectKey,
