SMARTeLOCK Brings Contactless Check-In to Hotels with Mobile Keys, Smart Codes and Wire-Free Online Locks

Guests skip the front desk with a smartphone or PIN code, while hotels gain real-time lock control and full PMS/GRMS integration without rewiring.

SEONGNAM, GYEONGGI, SOUTH KOREA, October 6, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Guests bypass the front desk with a smartphone or time-sensitive PIN code, while hotels gain real-time lock control without costly rewiring and full PMS and GRMS integration

SMARTeLOCK Co., Ltd., a South Korean developer of IoT and mobile access locking solutions for the hospitality industry, today introduced its contactless check-in and online hotel lock solutions to the global market. Built on the company’s e-Smart platform, the solutions let guests go straight to their rooms using a smartphone or a PIN code, while giving hotel operators real-time lock control and monitoring without the cost of wiring work.

Hotels today face pressure to shorten check-in lines, reduce front desk workload and cut the cost of issuing and replacing plastic key cards. SMARTeLOCK addresses these needs with two cloud-generated credentials that can be issued from anywhere in the world, while the locks themselves operate offline, so no network connection is needed at the door.

Mobile Access Key
The Mobile Access Key is an encrypted digital key that guests use on their own smartphones, available as either a Mobile App Key or a Mobile Web Key. It enables check-in with no contact or key exchange, lets guests bypass the front desk, and eliminates the risk of lost keys or cards.

Smart Code (time-sensitive code)
For guests who prefer not to use an app, Smart Code sends an 6- to 12-digit PIN code by e-mail or SMS. The code is generated automatically and randomly according to the guest’s length of stay and is disposed of automatically at check-out, with no manual clearing, so the room is ready for the next guest right away.

Four ways to go online — without rewiring
Traditional wired online hotel locks often require extensive cabling that adds installation cost and disrupts operations. SMARTeLOCK’s wireless online locks need no wiring work, and the company offers four configurations to suit different buildings and existing infrastructure:
1. Wireless online Zigbee communication using SMARTeLOCK’s own access point (AP)
2. Wireless online Zigbee communication using a third-party GRMS controller
3. Hard-wired RS485 communication using a third-party GRMS controller
4. Wireless online communication using a commercial Wi-Fi access point
