Locks, master key systems and access control for hotels

A master key system designed for hotels

The challenge in hotels: each member of staff opens only what concerns them, while service master keys remain efficient. A master key system structures these rights cleanly.

Which technology for guest rooms?

Two approaches, often combined:

• Patented mechanical cylinder (protected key, copies only with the key registration card): robust, no electronics, ideal for service doors and smaller establishments. See the security levels and the certification A2P.
• Electronic access control (fob / RFID card): instant recoding if a card is lost, audit trail of entries, time-slot management. See smart locks and fobs & access.

Lost or unreturned key: the right response

With a patented system, copying is already locked down (key registration card). If a master key is lost, only the affected branch is recombined, not the whole hotel. With electronic access, the fob is deactivated in one click. Either way, there is no wholesale replacement: that is the whole point of a well-designed master key system.
