ELECTRONIC DOOR LOCK KEYPAD
TO MANAGE ACCESS TO B&B HOLIDAY HOMES
The electronic door lock keypad is very useful. Handing over the keys when renting a holiday home or B&B can become a problem, especially when you want to manage the rental remotely!
I'll tell you about one of the many installations we carried out in a holiday home in Palermo whose owner lives in Milan!
For the entrance to the structure we have installed GUESTKEY electronic code lock keypads. A keypad for each room and one at the main entrance door. Answering the customer's questions, I thought it would be useful to recount the experience and share it on the blog.
Given that there are many questions I receive about the use of GUESTKEY code lock keypads, I am preparing to write this article to dispel the doubts of those who would like to purchase them for small accommodation facilities such as B&Bs, holiday homes or hotels.
Usually the requests for clarification from customers are the following:
- I want a digital lock that works without keys
- May it open on time, only for the set days.
- Door opening with code
- That when the code expires the door no longer opens
- Sending the code by email, telephone or whatsapp
- Energy saving
- Low costs
The basic principle of B&B holiday home hotels is welcome and hospitality. Welcoming guests to your facility is always a welcome thing. But it happens that handing over the keys at impossible times can turn into STRESS on the part of the Host.
Handing over the room keys late at night
Maybe when the Host is on “vacation” a few times becomes impossible and inevitably you are forced to delegate some friends or acquaintances. The GUESTKEY electronic door lock keypad for hotels overcomes this inconvenience, making the life of the property owner easier. Releasing the owner and the guest from arriving at the property at a pre-established time.
The GUESTKEY keyboard allows you to overcome all this and keys will be just a distant memory.
The numerical code sent by email or WhatsApp allows the guest to arrive at any time.
The presence of managers in the structure during the weekend or at night is no longer necessary.
You will no longer have time constraints to check-in.
Thanks to the competitive price, even small B&Bs, holiday homes or AirB&Bs can be equipped with a keyboard electronic door lock opener in hotels, in a modern, simple and fast way. Furthermore, frequent negative reviews due to delays in key delivery are avoided.
ADVANTAGES
SELF CHECK-IN FOR AIRBNB WITH GUESTKEY
The convenience of sending the code via email or WhatsApp, to activate the GUESTKEY electronic lock keypad as well as programming the validity of use, setting the activation and deactivation date.
Automatic check-in without waiting! It is very popular with AirBnB which encourages ads by placing them in You travel for work. This will allow you to increase your chances of renting your own B&B.
WHY SHOULD I USE GUESTKEY AND NOT USE THE DOOR OPENING WITH A SMARTPHONE OR A BADGE OR A CARD?
- Your guests are not always familiar with APPs or programs installed on their smartphones.
- Badges or cards have the same drawback as mechanical keys…. How can I deliver them at impossible times?
- They do not have the energy saving function
ENERGY SAVING
Upon expiration of the code, all electrical utilities in the room (lights, air conditioners, etc.) are disabled, with significant energy savings.
At the end of your stay you won't have to worry about turning off air conditioners or televisions or lights, as the utilities will be deactivated when the code expires.
SIMPLE ACCESS:
- The owner will have a supervisor code
- the cleaning staff will have a unique password for all rooms.
- The guest code is sent and ends when the stay expires.
NO MORE FORGOTTEN OR LOST KEYS
It will not be necessary to carry heavy and bulky keys with you, with the fear of losing them. Loss of keys, a significant problem that affects the owner. Or even some ill-intentioned guest could get a copy of the key and then access the facility to steal other guests' belongings. Also in this case the GuesKey lock keypad protects you from fraudulent copies since, as you can imagine, the codes cannot be duplicated!
The codes change at the end of the stay.
HOW DO I PROGRAM THE ELECTRONIC LOCK KEYPAD WITHOUT GOING TO THE B&B?
SI If I am in Milan and the house is in Palermo, I have the possibility to create the codes and authorize the entry of guests to my bed and breakfast.
PROGRAM THE GuestKey KEYBOARD.
You don't have to plan ANYTHING! The alignment of the lock keypad with our server only occurs for the first time during the first installation. You just need to connect to our website:
- Choose the room
- Record the guest's name, so as to have it in the attendance history.
- Select the date of stay in the facility
- The generated code will be sent by email or WhatsApp to the guest
CAN I SEND THE CODES BY EMAIL?
SI Of course, the time codes created are easily sent by email or WhatsApp to the customer
IS IT COMPLICATED TO CREATE THE CODES AND SEND THEM?
Nothing easier, just one click is enough
IS IT DIFFICULT TO PROGRAM THE ELECTRONIC DOOR LOCK KEYPAD?
DO NOT, you don't have to plan anything and with a simple click you send the code to the guest.
DOES SENDING THE CODES COST?
Sending the codes has no cost!
You only pay for the annual management of the code generation page, which has a ridiculous cost of €25,00. With €25,00 you can connect up to 99 rooms plus a main door.
The cost is all-inclusive and also includes a dedicated post office box.
An insignificant amount if you think about the problems it solves!
WHAT ISSUES DOES THE INSTALLATION INVOLVE? (Manual)
Provided that the lock has an electric strike, or an electric lock or a motorized lock is already fitted there is no difficulty in installation. It doesn't matter whether the door is armored or made of aluminum or wood, there is no difference.
WHAT IF I DON'T HAVE AN ELECTRICAL MATCH?
If the electric striker is not mounted:
- On the opposite side of the frame / jamb, the lock must have the counterplate replaced with an electric strike
Here are the steps for applying the electric striker to the door frame.
TO WHAT SIZE SHOULD I MOUNT THE 503 BOXES TO THE WALL?
The boxes to be walled in must be positioned
- to cm. 85 from the ground for the light switch
- to cm. 150 from the ground for the door lock keypad
