igloohome creates smart locks and lockboxes that allow users to manage access remotely via mobile app, often without needing Wi-Fi at the door.
igloohome is a smart access company founded in July 2015 by Anthony Chow and Kelvin Ho. The company specializes in smart locks, lockboxes, and padlocks designed for homeowners, rental hosts, and enterprise facilities. igloohome products are distinctive for their ability to work offline using proprietary algoPIN™ technology, which allows property managers to generate time-sensitive access codes remotely without requiring a permanent internet connection at the lock itself. This makes them particularly popular for Airbnb hosts and properties in remote locations.
The brand has expanded to include an enterprise-focused vertical known as iglooworks, catering to large-scale access management needs. igloohome’s ecosystem is supported by a mobile app that facilitates Bluetooth unlocking, activity logs, and seamless integration with platforms like Airbnb.
