With over 5 million doors installed worldwide, Onity locks offer the quality, features and durability you need, with the added advantage of Onity's knowledge and world-renowned reputation.
Designed for Convenience
Onity electronic locks are brilliantly designed, yet ingeniously simple to use. Created to accommodate small-to-large-sized properties, Onity locks provide hotel guests with smooth and efficient check-in, which enables your property to achieve new heights of convenience and operational efficiency.
The Basics of Electronic Locking Systems
An electronic lock grants access to authorized keycards at defined times/dates and records the opening activity. This results in reduced liability, enhanced hotel security and more efficient staff management. Onity systems consist of:
- Locks
- Cards / opening devices (non proprietary)
- Encoder (keycard issuing station for the frontdesk)
- System software
- Handheld lock programmer/interrogator (for maintenance staff)
Onity locks are easy to install/replace and battery operated (no expensive wiring is required). The hotel generates its own reusable keycards, eliminating locksmith issues; in fact, the Onity system also features automatic re-keying: new guest check-in voids the former guest keycard, which is like "having a new lock" for each new guest! Onity masterkeying software provides management flexibility, you define who is authorized, where and when. Staff keycards, which are electronically identified by employee name, can be limited to specific shifts or days. Onity electronic locking systems also enhance hotel security, if a master-keycard is lost it can be cancelled electronically through the Onity software. Moreover our technology features multiple levels of encryption to maximize security and peace of mind for both you and your guests, to ensure a sound night's sleep for all.
