Five Scenarios Where a Smart Lock Is the Right Call

Considering the diverse needs of our community, smart locks offer tailored solutions for various situations. Here’s how five scenarios where opting for a smart lock makes perfect sense.

  1. High-Turnover Apartments: In areas like Old Street or Clerkenwell, serviced apartments benefit from smart locks by generating and revoking guest codes per stay, eliminating physical key handovers.
  1. Estate Flats with Restrictions: Residents in Barbican Estate flats can’t modify their doors’ exteriors. A Nuki retrofit provides smartphone access for family and cleaners without altering the original design.
  1. Frequent Visitor Access: Warehouse lofts on Cowcross Street or Turnmill Street can utilize Yale Conexis L2 smart locks. Issuing PIN tags to visitors guarantees easy access management, complete with audit logs.

In each case, smart locks enhance convenience, security, and flexibility, meeting the specific needs of different environments across EC1, EC2, and EC4.

Salto SVN — Multi-Door Hotels, Chambers & Clinic Areas

Salto SVN offers a sophisticated access control solution perfect for multi-door environments like hotels, chambers, and clinic areas. It’s clear how essential it’s to maintain seamless security and convenience in these spaces.

Salto SVN provides centralized management, allowing us to update access permissions instantly without changing locks or keys.

With Salto’s wireless technology, we can retrofit existing doors, ensuring minimal disruption and cost efficiency. Each user gets a personalized access credential, which we can easily modify or revoke if needed. This system is ideal for environments with frequent guest turnovers or multiple user groups, like hotels and clinics.

Salto SVN also integrates smoothly with existing management software, enhancing operational efficiency. We appreciate how it supports audit trails, by tracking who accessed which areas and when.

Install Process and Hand-Over Training

Installing a smart lock involves a series of precise steps that confirm both security and convenience. First, we survey the door, checking cylinder length, multipoint backset, and material. Based on these, we recommend the right product: Yale Conexis L2 for modern composites, Nuki for internal retrofits, or Salto for multi-door setups.

Next, we source the unit and any matching anti-snap cylinder, affirming security standards like the 3-Star Diamond Ultion are met.

During installation, we fit and commission the lock, pair it with smartphones, configure access, set auto-locks, and prepare backup keys.

For hand-over training, we demonstrate adding and revoking users, setting time-restricted codes, and retrieving audit logs. This process confirms you’re confident in managing access.

Depending on whether a new cylinder is needed, the entire process takes 60-120 minutes. Visit us at 55 St John St Farringdon EC1M 4AN for more information.
