Digital door lock in Malaysia
Digital door lock is a way to replace the key or to add automatic features such as locking or unlocking remotely. Although most are seen in cars, many advanced security vendors are now offering digital door locks to families and businesses in Malaysia.
In any type of digital door lock, bolts are made to block the door and door frames, preventing entry especially house breaking in Malaysia. This can be a ''spring pin'', which is held in place by spring. It allows the door to close (but not re-open) when locked, or safer with ''dead seals'', kept in place for until manually unlocked.
In both cases, locking and unlocking is done by turning the visible part (a knob or a key) to move the bolt or lock.

Take a look at how a smart lock works and some of the benefits they provide over a traditional door lock.
What are smart locks and how do they work?
Smart locks are keyless door locks that allow you to open your door without a physical key. They can be controlled remotely using a smartphone app. Many models feature a numeric keypad on the lock for entering a unique access code.
A smart lock connects to your home's WiFi network, which allows it to receive the code or smartphone command to lock or unlock.
While some smart locks require you to completely replace your entire lock system, others fit right over your existing lock system or only require a few modifications.
When smart locks are integrated into a complete smart home, they can also integrate with other devices, like a smart speaker or your security system. However, they need to be connected to a smart home hub that enables all the devices to work together.

Do you really need a smart lock?
Your house key locks and unlocks your front door. That's it. But if you're looking for something more than bare bones basic functionality, then a smart lock is the way to go. Some of the ways smart locks make life easier (and your home safer) include:
- Control your front door no matter where you are.
With a smart lock, your smartphone doubles as your key. There’s no need to rush home to beat your guests or a delivery driver to the door; simply log onto your app and unlock your front door from wherever you are.
- Codes over keys.
If you’ve ever stood at your front door while digging through your bag to find your keys, you’ll appreciate the keyless functionality that lets you unlock your door with a simple code—no key required.
- No more hide-a-keys.
Smart locks eliminate the need for making copies of your key for everyone. This is also much safer than having multiple copies of your house key floating around, protecting your home from potential burglaries.
- Notifications help you remember to lock up.
If you’ve ever left your house in a rush to make it to work or drop off your kids on time, you know the worried feeling that comes with wondering whether or not you remembered to lock your door on the way out. Many smart locks will send you notifications on your phone if you forgot to lock your door, so you can quickly lock it with the tap of a button.
Smart locks as part of an integrated smart home
A smart lock integrated into a smart home system makes life easier in a number of ways:
- Know who's coming or going.
You can make up to 30 unique access codes for everyone who needs to get into your house, from the babysitter to dog sitter to your own kids. Your system keeps a log of which code was used and when, so you know exactly who is coming and going. You can also receive notifications on your smartphone when a code is used.
- Create guest codes for visitors.
Preparing for out-of-town visitors can be stressful enough without having to run and get a copy of your key made or coordinate your schedules so you're home when they arrive. Just make a temporary access code for your guests so they can come and go as they please. Then, when they leave, you can delete the code.
- Create custom rules.
You can also create custom rules for your smart lock, such as locking doors automatically after a certain amount of time, or arming your security system and turning off your lights when you lock your front door.
- Lock your door with the sound of your voice.
Want to make sure your door is locked, but your smartphone is charging in another room? No problem, when your smart lock is integrated with a system that includes a Google Home or Amazon Echo. Just say, ''Hey Google, lock the front door.'' It's that simple.
- Leave with one touch
If your morning rush includes juggling kids, book bags, keys, your wallet, and more, you'd probably welcome anything that makes getting out the door easier. With a smart home system, one-touch leaving locks your door, arms your security system, turns off the lights, and adjusts the thermostat to save energy—all with the simple touch of the lock button.
- Arm your security system at night easily
You don't need to make the rounds to get your house night time ready by checking locks or going from room to room to turn the lights off. You can rest easy knowing that once you arm your system, your doors lock, your lights turn off, and your temperature adjusts automatically—all thanks to the custom actions of your integrated system. It's as simple as the touch of a button or a voice command.
Some smart locks are simple to install, but others can turn into a complicated project, depending on your comfort level with hardware and technology.

The Advantages of Using a Keypad Lock System
The main purpose of a door lock is to keep a facility or property secure. If you’re considering installing a keypad lock, you will want to get informed about their benefits in commercial and residential settings.
Padlock for door is one of the best ways to go keyless and safeguard a property. Often, keypad lock operates in connection with access control systems. Learn more about how keypad locks work and their advantages.
Padlock for door is one of the best ways to go keyless and safeguard a property. Often, keypad lock operates in connection with access control systems. Learn more about how keypad locks work and their advantages.
How Keypad Lock Works
Instead of a key, this type of electronic door locks requires a numerical code to grant entry to a facility or property. The code is punched in by users via a numerical pad, similar to those on a basic calculator. If the correct code is entered, the door lock or deadbolt should release. Some mechanisms require batteries or a small electrical current in order to unlock.
Some keypad locks have an integrated security feature that keeps the door locked for a set amount of time (usually 10 to 15 minutes) after several incorrect attempts to enter the code.

Benefits of Keypad Locks
There are many benefits to choosing the best pad lock over conventional locking mechanisms.
-
Convenience of a Keypad Lock
The biggest advantage is convenience. It eliminates the necessity of keys. There’s no need to carry them around, keep track of copies and spares, or change the door lock when a key is stolen or misplaced. Children, guests and service providers can be given their own code or a temporary code, rather than a key.
-
Higher Security
Keypad lock has a different hardware design than other types of locks. They don’t have cylinder mechanisms, so they essentially cannot be picked or bumped like conventional locks. This keeps the building more secure.
Instead of risking losing keys and having to rekey or change out the lock. With a keypad lock system, it’s easy to change the security pin code whenever necessary.

-
Enhanced Durability
Traditional keys and locks wear down over time; it becomes more difficult to get it to turn and function properly. Padlock for door is much more durable than conventional locks. A high-quality keypad door lock should last longer with standard hardware.
-
Easy Digital Door Lock Installation
Many property owners in Malaysia think that if they want to install a keypad lock, they’ll have to make major adjustments to door or frames. That’s not true. In most cases, padlock for door can be easily installed on standard doors, just like any standard lock. Mechanical and battery-powered keypad locks are available which don’t require connection to a power source.
-
Integration with Access Control Systems
Keypad lock systems can be used as part of an access control system. This allows companies to restrict entry permission, even when using a correct code, during certain hours of the day or night. Businesses can also place a keypad entry system within the interior of a building. This restricts access to certain parts of the facility. It’s handy for business owners who want to limit employee access to certain parts of an office complex during certain times of the day. Keypad lock is the best electronic door locks for their choice.
Based on the above benefits, you can see why keypad lock have become increasingly popular for residential and commercial applications. However, one thing that is worth nothing about keypad lock systems is that they’re generally more expensive than conventional locks. The cost of keypad lock is high.

What is Fingerprint Door Lock? How Do They Work?
Security has always been a concern of paramount importance to human beings. We have gone from protecting valuables in the past by keeping them in dungeons to safeguarding data by layers and layers of cryptographic software. Either way, ensuring the well-being of our personal belongings has always been near the top of our priority list.
Thanks to technology, today security involves a wide range of software and hardware including web-based security services, biometrics and personal devices with integrated security levels. One of the biggest advances of the digital-technical age has been the introduction of biometrics into security.
Here, we shall take a look at fingerprint door lock, one of the earliest and most used systems deploying biometrics, and take an in-depth look at its workings.

What is fingerprint door lock?
Let’s start with the definition. Although the name in itself is pretty self-explanatory, a fingerprint lock may be defined as “a system which grants access to authorized personnel by virtue of recognizing their unique fingerprints.” You have probably looked at your hands countless times and noticed the ridges and valley pattern. The patterns were an important outcome of the human evolution as they enhanced our ability to grip. However, an unforeseen consequence of this particular step in the evolutionary process was to grant humans a fantastic method of identification.
Fingerprint Door Lock
Human fingerprints are extremely detailed and nearly unique. What is more, they are also very difficult to fake or alter and can endure over an individual’s lifespan. This makes them very suitable as long-term markers of human identity. When the technology which can recognize and differentiate between fingerprints is deployed in securing access to a door way, you get a “Fingerprint Door Lock System”.
However, a question which arises is that why should you not stick to the old door lock and key? Or use some other alternative methods instead of going for the relatively expensive electronic door lock systems. Well, not only are fingerprint door lock systems reliable and non-intrusive, there is also no danger of leaving your fingers at home or at office. Also, the fact that fingerprints are nearly always unique, makes fingerprint door locking system perfect with regards to security. And of course, you can hardly forget your fingerprints or even guess it, as is the case with an alphanumeric password. Thus, fingerprint locks can be said is the best electronic door locks for you.

And of course, you can hardly forget your fingerprints or even guess it, as is the case with an alphanumeric password. Thus, fingerprint locks can be said is the best electronic door locks for you.
How do fingerprint door locks work?
Okay, so let’s get down to how these door locks actually work. Basically, fingerprint locks operated by scanning and converting your fingerprint data into a numerical template.
Once you place your finger onto the scanner for the first time the conversion into numerical data takes place, and the fingerprint template is saved. This process is then repeated every time you want to grant someone access. The next time someone places his/her finger on the sensor, it matches the data obtained through the finger with the pre-saved values. If a match is found, access is granted and the door opens. On the other hand, if its someone else trying to get through, access is not allowed and the door remains locked. Simple, no?
Now, matching the algorithm is the most important process here. This is usually achieved by the Minutia matching process. In this, several minutia points are located on your finger’s pads, along with their position and direction when you register for the first time. This information is stored in the memory. While matching, the already stored fingerprint template is compared to the received input. If there is a match, a green LED usually signals it and the door is opened. The process is very quick and is completed in a fraction of a second. In case you are wondering, two instances of friction ridge skin impressions together constitute a minutia.
Disadvantages associated with fingerprint door lock systems
Fingerprint based systems while very useful do however have some disadvantages. And ironically enough, many of them stem from the system’s very virtues. While they are very, very hard to fool, it is not impossible. Scanners that use optical systems to obtain information can sometimes be fooled by an image of the finger. On the other hand, a person can get around capacitor-based scanners by using a mold. These situations are avoided by using pulse and heat detectors also called live finger detection.
Another major issue with fingerprint door locks is that if someone does manage to create a copy/mold/image of your hand that can open doors, well, you are in deep trouble. Since you can’t really reset fingerprints the way you can with a normal password, it will mean either replacing locks or using a combination of pin and fingerprints.
Also, sometimes the scanner may refuse to recognize your finger in case of scarring or cuts or abrasions. Power cuts, battery discharge are other common issues associated with these door locking systems, which have the potential to leave you stranded outside your workplace or office. They are forestalled by integrating a mechanical system, where you can use a key to unlock the door in case of such a failure.
Advantages over other biometric systems
There are certainly other biometric systems as well that incorporate many of the advantages associated with fingerprint locking systems. For example, iris scanning plugs the slight potential for security breaches left by fingerprint-based systems. Voice based authentication on the other hand, lets you just speak to open the door without even requiring you to place your finger on it.
However, iris scanners are very expensive as compared to fingerprint door lock systems and many people may find the experience of getting their eyes scanned, uncomfortable. While it appears perfect for high security government installations, fingerprint door lock systems are much more affordable and comfortable when it is out homes or offices that are being talked about.
Similarly, despite all its advantages, voice based biometric door opening systems have a very serious flaw. The rate of failure is very high. You may have a hoarse throat or a cold and the door will remain unyielding before you, refusing to recognize your voice.

While it appears perfect for high security government installations, fingerprint door lock systems are much more affordable and comfortable when it is out homes or offices that are being talked about.
Similarly, despite all its advantages, voice based biometric door opening systems have a very serious flaw. The rate of failure is very high. You may have a hoarse throat or a cold and the door will remain unyielding before you, refusing to recognize your voice.
What to look for in fingerprint door locks?
Now that you know all about fingerprint door locks, you may be itching to get one and install it at your home or office. There are just a couple of things that you should keep in mind while getting a fingerprint lock system installed.
First of all, make sure that it has a keypad or a mechanical key slot. This will make sure that in case the electronic door lock is unable to recognize your fingerprints for some reasons, say a cut or even a power failure, you have an alternative way to get in.
Make sure that you check the FRR (False Rejection Rate) as well as you don’t want to purchase one with a high FRR. Also, locks made of tough brass or steel are recommended over aluminium since they cannot be broken using a crowbar and back the intelligence of the fingerprint scanner system with their sturdiness and strength.
Checking what power the system is also a good idea. There are a whole range of systems available that may draw their power from batteries or that could be connected to your main power supply.
Also take a look at the number of fingerprints that can be stored — or in other words, the number of people that can be granted access at once. This is particularly important when you are using the system to secure the doors at your offices and require a lot of people to be able to go in and out.
Conclusion
Fingerprint locks are pretty awesome. Secure, affordable, non-intrusive and almost fail safe, these systems don’t require you to carry a key or remember a password. You can also grant access to as many people as you want and remove their access at your pleasure. In short, whether it’s your home that you want to protect or your office, definitely consider getting a fingerprint door lock installed; it is very likely to prove to be worth your money.

What features to look when buying a smart door lock?
Oct 6, 2020
View Full Size
10 features to consider before buying a smart door lock
Battery life
The majority of smart locks operate on either multiple AA alkaline batteries or a rechargeable lithium-ion cell. Whatever type of battery your smart door lock uses, you’ll still get an alert on your app when battery power gets low. Moreover, the housing mounted on the inside of your door will often include an LED that will flash red when the battery needs to be replaced or recharged. How long do these batteries normally last? Well, it all depends on the smart door lock and its functions. Many companies rate their battery life in terms of the number of “cycles” — that is, the total number of physical locks and unlocks — and power usually lasts anywhere from three months to a year, depending on the type of lock and the functions it performs.
Alternate unlocking way
Bluetooth and Wi-Fi may be great, but they are none the less occasionally unreliable. Even technology companies whose job it is to manufacture smart door locks are aware of this potential problem. So, they’ve come up with alternative ways for locking/unlocking smart door locks. As well as wireless unlocking techniques, more and more practical smart locks now offer alternative physical or electronic entry options, including PIN codes (sometimes with an add-on keypad, also Bluetooth-connected) and/or a physical key. A small number of smart door lock suppliers also offer a key fob to wirelessly unlock a door if you don’t have your smartphone with you.
Auto lock/unlock
Bluetooth enabled door locks usually provide keyless or PIN-less entry. When you’re carrying your smartphone, an smart door lock — particularly a retrofit lock — may let you auto-unlock your door when you are a prescribed distance away, and auto-lock behind you after a user-prescribed period of time. However, this prescribed distance is usually limited to around 30 feet, and it has to be remembered that you can only carry out this function from outside the property. A best smart door locks with keypads generally won’t include proximity auto-unlock capabilities for sound security reasons, like preventing an intruder or thief from entering a property using a lost or stolen phone.
Guest keys
Smart door locks, particularly retrofit models, let you assign “keys” for visitors who you’re happy to let into your home in your absence: visitors like out-of-town friends or family members, service workers or delivery people, or neighbours watering the plants, taking in the mail or or feeding the cat while you’re away. You may have come across this particular practice if you’ve ever stayed in an Airbnb property. Entry ‘keys’ are sent via a text or email code through the smart door lock app, and these keys give your visitor wireless entry capabilities for a prescribed period of time or a prescribed number of entries. Replacement smart locks with keypads allow you to simply assign temporary passwords, timed for single use or for a specific number of hours or days. Most smart door locks also track who comes and goes, and smart locks with Wi-Fi can send an alert to your phone when someone comes or goes, so even when you’re still at work you’ll be able to find out whether the kids have returned home from their schools.
Weatherproof rating
Smart door locks are complicated pieces of kit, housing not just the traditional metal pins, tumblers, gears and other standard lock mechanics, but also sensitive electronics. Thus they need to be able to withstand extremes in weather conditions to function properly. Complete replacement smart door locks will indicate what temperatures the door lock is designed to withstand and often have an IP water/dust-proof rating. However, not all smart locks are born equal: not all can withstand adverse weather conditions over a prolonged period. If you want to ensure that your smart lock is up to the job, no matter what the weather throws at it, then only buy from a reputable lock manufacturer with a long and proven track record of testing for such conditions.
ANSI lock quality
Most physical door locks will have their own distinct specifications and idiosyncrasies; so it’s difficult to establish whether the smart lock you’re considering buying will be up to the job. In order to make that choice a little easier, 3 standard lock designations have been introduced by the ANSI/BHMA (American national Standards Institute/ Builders’ Hardware Manufacturers Association). These designation tests judge locks on their robustness and security against picking, bumping, other physical attacks along with the longevity of the locking/unlocking mechanism. The 3 designation grades are:
Grade 1
The strongest grade, usually reserved for commercial applications
Grade 2
The most common residential lock, and most commonly bought ANSI-approved lock
Grade 3
Usually a secondary lock to supplement a grade 1 or 2 lock.
Grade 1
The strongest grade, usually reserved for commercial applications
Grade 2
The most common residential lock, and most commonly bought ANSI-approved lock
Grade 3
Usually a secondary lock to supplement a grade 1 or 2 lock.
Wireless security
Security is always a concern, especially when you constantly hear and read about hacking attacks. That concern is no different for Wi-Fi security. Most smrt door lock manufactures will publish the technical specification of their locks and tell you just how secure their W-Fi security is, but it should be remembered that there is no ‘best’ wireless security scheme or standard for smart door locks. The best smart lock you can hope to discover is just how high a priority the smart door lock manufacturer places on the issue. The only way you’ll discover that, unfortunately, is through extensive research. What can be said with some sort of conviction, however, is that the best keylss door lock – that is the most hack-proof – are keypad-enabled models that don’t use Bluetooth or Wi-Fi as their primary entry method.
Smart home compatibility
Most smart door locks can be integrated into an existing smart home environment — using Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Apple HomeKit, IFTTT (If This Then That), Z-Wave, ZigBee, Samsung SmartThings — so it’s easy enough to incorporate the locking of doors, turning on lights and adjusting temperature controls into your smart routine. However, as things currently stand, very few smart door locks are compatible with all smart home technologies.
Voice control
An increasing number of smart door locks that are compatible with Amazon and HomeKit also provide Alexa and Siri voice control. However, this voice control capability is usually limited to locking the door when you’re inside your home. Amazon recently approved an unlock voice control protocol which requires the user to provide a spoken password after a spoken unlock command. A growing number of lock makers are also just beginning to implement this new Alexa Key “speak to unlock” feature.
Fit and finish
Traditional door lock vendors with a vaulted pedigree offer a wide variety of smart door lock hardware finishes and trims and matching latch mechanisms, including variations of silver, bronze, brass and black. Newer tech-focused smart lock providers, however, do not offer such choices. Hence if aesthetics is important to you, your digital door lock purchase options are limited.

What’s next in hotel door lock technology
Jan 12, 2019
View Full Size
The key to any successful technology is removing pain points for the user while making any processes easier and more efficient. Streamlining property operations and enhancing the guest experience is the end goal for any hotel technology solution. It’s no different for door locks and security, said Nicolas Aznar, president of Assa Abloy Hospitality Americas Group.
“It’s about utilizing the most advanced technologies available to accomplish the aforementioned objectives,” he said. “The next technology for door locks will be solutions that streamline the check-in process to benefit both hoteliers and guests, and as door lock technology continues to advance they will incorporate more user-friendly and robust technologies.”
Brian Shedd, VP of sales and marketing at OpenKey, believes that Bluetooth low energy is what’s next in door lock technology. “Not because it doesn’t exist today, but because it’s still on the very edge of adoption in hotels and resorts worldwide,” he said. “I believe all new hotels at this point will be installing BLE locks for the next five or 10 years based on trends in the hospitality industry.”
Shedd pointed out that artificial intelligence is going to play a role in hotel door locks just as AI is gaining momentum in all hotel operations. Networked electronic door locks are an important part in the expansion of AI in hotel operations, said Joey Yanire, assistant VP of mobile access, lodging systems for dormakaba.
“dormakaba’s Messenger LENS collects data from its electronic door locks, which may be used to optimize operations, protect guest safety and ensure proactive door lock service that supports a positive guest experience,” he said. “Online locks capture and record a great deal of nonpersonal operating data, which results in predictive maintenance and continuously monitors guest door status to enhance hotel security.”
The more intelligence that is built in a lock system, the more operators learn about their hotel, the guest experience and the lock’s performance. The usage profile of each lock provides data that supports better decision-making, Yanire continued. It can also help reduce operator maintenance costs and improve customer satisfaction.
While door locks are advancing with improved aesthetics and mobile key capability, hotels should expect to see new technology beyond the locks themselves. Onity recently released its OnPortal system, which provides full access management for hotel properties while enabling them to meet mobile technology demands, Onity GM Casey Fale said. “For example, the OnPortal software allows for roving check-in, with an easy-to-use tablet interface, so staff can greet and engage guests in places like VIP reception areas and airports,” he said. “At the same time, OnPortal is directly integrated with the DirectKey system so properties can seamlessly deliver mobile key credentials to guests who wish to use their smartphone as their room key.”
Mobile locks are quickly becoming an industry standard, with many brands planning to make mobile key a requirement within the next year, Aznar said. With this in mind, hotels are offering guests an all-encompassing solution that allows them to access multiple property services, from booking to roomservice to mobile access, within a single application that streamlines the guest experience.
Shedd also believes the trend toward engagement with guests via the mobile device will only grow over the next several years. “Guests will continue to demand more control and hotels will continue to provide solutions that give them options in the palm of their hand,” he said.
How is mobile lock adoption progressing?
Digital locks make up the largest percentage of lock sales for every major lock company in the hotel vertical. Mobile lock adoption is off and running at a sprint pace but with more than 5 million rooms in the U.S., widespread adoption will take some time, Shedd said. Because such technologies are also transitioning to a standard property requirement, guests will begin seeing more independent and regional hotels offering mobile key in the coming years, and not only at the large global brands.
“From what we’ve seen with the increasing popularity and implementation of mobile locks among all levels of properties, thousands of hotels are currently offering mobile key, with thousands more planning implementation in 2018,” Aznar said.
With any technology implementation, adoption takes time. There are many factors involved to ensure positive delivery of mobile key to guests, along with keeping up with constantly changing guest demands. “It isn’t simply about installing locks, but also the ability to seamlessly integrate with disparate hotel systems and third-party mobile applications, among other things, to ensure streamlined operations,” Aznar continued.
Fale believes that hotels have questions about ease of use, security and costs and that is reducing adoption speed. “Hotels need to look for technology that offers a superior guest experience,” he said. “The solution should make it quick and easy for guests to use their mobile key to unlock their guestroom along with assigned access-controlled areas on the property. We like to call it a seamless journey—from parking to elevators to their guestroom.”
Hotels also will need a mobile-access system that complements the security features that already exist in hotel locks, such as access permissions and audit trails. On top of the first level of encryption assigning access rights for a stay, the best systems will provide an additional security layer with a 128-bit AES encryption key that is unique to the door lock for which the credential was generated.
Hoteliers are by nature risk-adverse and very focused on return on investment, Shedd said. The hotel as an asset always has plenty of places that could use extra investment—rooms, lobby, bathrooms, bar, etc. “Mobile key is still cutting-edge technology in the hotel industry, so we’re on the early part of the adoption curve that we’ll see will begin to pick up significantly as more adoption occurs,” he said. “This time next year, you’ll see more demand for mobile key than we can service as hoteliers perceive the technology to be more mature and less risky.'
How to reduce chance of a ransomware attack
An Austrian luxury hotel says it is ditching electronic room cards for old-fashioned locks and keys after having its systems frozen by blackmail-hungry hackers. The Romantik Seehotel Jaegerwirt, in the Austrian Alps, said that one recent infection with ransom software resulted in the complete shutdown of hotel computers.The husband and wife management team said they were forced to pay roughly 1,500 euros (nearly $1,600) worth of electronic currency to restore their network. “When the hackers got the money, they unlocked the computers, making them all run as normal again,” hotel co-manager Christina Brandstaetter said.
Hotels can take a few simple steps to reduce the chances of a ransomware attack. These include maintaining a strong firewall and current anti-virus software on all computers used in hotel operations and keeping systems current with relevant software and firmware patches to help prevent infection, Fale said. Along with protecting physical access to the front-desk systems, hotels should limit logical access only to persons that need this access, such as the general manager and engineering lead. Plus, it’s smart to have programming cards and spare cards on hand, store them in a safe place, and keep them up to date via maintenance scheduling systems so that they do not expire.
“Guests can rest assured in the security of mobile locks, because this hack affected the system server that records the keys,” Aznar said. “This is something that is all too common with computers holding any type of system. Since this wasn’t an issue with the locks themselves, it reminds us how important it is to stay up-to-date with all computer systems.”
Regularly updating an operating system and installing the latest in computer system security patches is the recommended way to keep your systems protected. Implementing the latest in available technology solutions is always going to decrease the chances of having such events occur at your property.

How Does Smart Hotel System Work?
A user simply books a hotel room online, packs up, goes to that hotel, logs in on the Smart Hotel app, chooses the room he had just booked, opens the door, sets the lights (and other features) to his mood and lays back.
A user simply books a hotel room online, packs up, goes to that hotel, logs in on the Smart Hotel app, chooses the room he had just booked, opens the door, sets the lights (and other features) to his mood and lays back.
Simple, right? That's because things like "fills in papers" or "grabs keys" do not exist in this context. Smart Hotel eliminates those needs, and adds other comfort features ranging from being able to control everything in the room to security and inability to lose the "key" or get stolen in any way.

Hotel Keycard Lock System
A keycard lock is a lock operated by a keycard, a flat, rectangular plastic card with identical dimensions to that of a credit card or American and EU driver's license. The card stores a physical or digital pattern that the door mechanism accepts before disengaging the lock.
A keycard lock is a lock operated by a keycard, a flat, rectangular plastic card with identical dimensions to that of a credit card or American and EU driver's license. The card stores a physical or digital pattern that the door mechanism accepts before disengaging the lock.
There are several common types of keycards in use, including the mechanical holecard, barcode, magnetic stripe, Wiegand wire embedded cards, smart card (embedded with a read/write electronic microchip), and RFID proximity cards.
Keycards are frequently used in hotels as an alternative to mechanical keys.
The first commercial use of key cards was to raise and lower the gate at automated parking lots where users paid a monthly fee.

Streamlining property operations and enhancing the guest experience is the end goal for any hotel technology solution. It’s no different for door locks and security, said Nicolas Aznar, president of Assa Abloy Hospitality Americas Group.
The key to any successful technology is removing pain points for the user while making any processes easier and more efficient. Streamlining property operations and enhancing the guest experience is the end goal for any hotel technology solution. It’s no different for door locks and security, said Nicolas Aznar, president of Assa Abloy Hospitality Americas Group.
“It’s about utilizing the most advanced technologies available to accomplish the aforementioned objectives,” he said. “The next technology for door locks will be solutions that streamline the check-in process to benefit both hoteliers and guests, and as door lock technology continues to advance they will incorporate more user-friendly and robust technologies.”
Shedd pointed out that artificial intelligence is going to play a role in hotel door locks just as AI is gaining momentum in all hotel operations. Networked electronic door locks are an important part in the expansion of AI in hotel operations, said Joey Yanire, assistant VP of mobile access, lodging systems for dormakaba.
“dormakaba’s Messenger LENS collects data from its electronic door locks, which may be used to optimize operations, protect guest safety and ensure proactive door lock service that supports a positive guest experience,” he said. “Online locks capture and record a great deal of nonpersonal operating data, which results in predictive maintenance and continuously monitors guest door status to enhance hotel security.”
The more intelligence that is built in a lock system, the more operators learn about their hotel, the guest experience and the lock’s performance. The usage profile of each lock provides data that supports better decision-making, Yanire continued. It can also help reduce operator maintenance costs and improve customer satisfaction.
While door locks are advancing with improved aesthetics and mobile key capability, hotels should expect to see new technology beyond the locks themselves. Onity recently released its OnPortal system, which provides full access management for hotel properties while enabling them to meet mobile technology demands, Onity GM Casey Fale said. “For example, the OnPortal software allows for roving check-in, with an easy-to-use tablet interface, so staff can greet and engage guests in places like VIP reception areas and airports,” he said. “At the same time, OnPortal is directly integrated with the DirectKey system so properties can seamlessly deliver mobile key credentials to guests who wish to use their smartphone as their room key.”
Mobile locks are quickly becoming an industry standard, with many brands planning to make mobile key a requirement within the next year, Aznar said. With this in mind, hotels are offering guests an all-encompassing solution that allows them to access multiple property services, from booking to roomservice to mobile access, within a single application that streamlines the guest experience.
Shedd also believes the trend toward engagement with guests via the mobile device will only grow over the next several years. “Guests will continue to demand more control and hotels will continue to provide solutions that give them options in the palm of their hand,” he said.
Brian Shedd, VP of sales and marketing at OpenKey, believes that Bluetooth low energy is what’s next in door lock technology. “Not because it doesn’t exist today, but because it’s still on the very edge of adoption in hotels and resorts worldwide,” he said. “I believe all new hotels at this point will be installing BLE locks for the next five or 10 years based on trends in the hospitality industry.”

KEYCARD LOCK
A keycard lock is a lock operated by a keycard, a flat, rectangular plastic card with identical dimensions to that of a credit card or American and EU driver's license. The card stores a physical or digital pattern that the door mechanism accepts before disengaging the lock.
A keycard lock is a lock operated by a keycard, a flat, rectangular plastic card with identical dimensions to that of a credit card or American and EU driver's license. The card stores a physical or digital pattern that the door mechanism accepts before disengaging the lock.
There are several common types of keycards in use, including the mechanical holecard, barcode, magnetic stripe, Wiegand wire embedded cards, smart card(embedded with a read/write electronic microchip), and RFID proximity cards.
Keycards are frequently used in hotels as an alternative to mechanical keys.
The first commercial use of key cards was to raise and lower the gate at automated parking lots where users paid a monthly fee.
Overview
Keycard systems operate by physically moving detainers in the locking mechanism with the insertion of the card, by shining LEDs through a pattern of holes in the card and detecting the result, by swiping or inserting a magnetic stripe card, or in the case of RFID cards, merely being brought into close proximity to a sensor. Keycards may also serve as ID cards.
Many electronic access control locks use a Wiegand interface to connect the card swipe mechanism to the rest of the electronic entry system.
Newer keycard systems use radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology such as the TLJ infinity.
Type of Card Reader
Mechanical
Mechanical keycard locks employ detainers which must be arranged in pre-selected positions by the key before the bolt will move. This was a mechanical type of lock operated by a plastic key card with a pattern of holes. There were 32 positions for possible hole locations, giving approximately 4.3 billion different keys. The key could easily be changed for each new guest by inserting a new key template in the lock that matched the new key.
In the early 1980s, the key card lock was electrified with LEDs that detected the holes.
Wiegand Cards
Since the keycode is permanently set into the card at manufacture by the positions of magnetic wires, Wiegand cards can't be erased by magnetic fields or reprogrammed as magnetic stripe cards can. Many electronic access control locks use a Wiegand interface to connect the card swipe mechanism to the rest of the electronic entry system.
Magnetic Stripe
Magnetic stripe (sometimes "strip") based keycard locks function by running the magnetic stripe over a sensor that reads the contents of the stripe. The stripe's contents are compared to those either stored locally in the lock or those of a central system. Some centralized systems operate using hardwired connections to central controllers while others use various frequencies of radio waves to communicate with the central controllers. Some have the feature of a mechanical (traditional key) bypass in case of loss of power.
Passive RFID
RFID cards contain a small chip and induction loop which the transmitter on the keycard reader can access. The main advantages with RFID cards is that they do not need to be removed from the wallet or pass holder - as the keycard reader can usually read them from a few inches away.
Access Control
In the case of the hotel room lock, there is no central system, the keycard and the lock function in the same tradition as a standard key and lock. However if the card readers communicate with a central system, it's the system that unlocks the door, not the card reader alone. This allows for more control over the locks, your card may only work on certain days of the week or time of day. Which locks can be opened by a card can be changed at any time. Logs are often kept of which cards unlocked doors at what times.
Privacy
Computerized authentication systems, such as key cards, raise privacy concerns, since they enable computer surveillance of each entry. RFID cards and key fobs are becoming increasingly popular due to their ease of use. Many modern households have installed digital locks that make use of key cards, in combination with biometricfingerprint and keypad PIN options. Offices have also slowly installed digital locks that integrate with key cards and biometric technology.
