Hotel locking systems are a unique style of access control system, with the requirements of a central management for many individual doors systems. Each hotel lock must be controlled by a select set of door "keys", which should also include the common house keeping keys.
Hotel systems can be fully wired or battery powered, with an intelligent card for data transmission. These systems need to be able to quickly and easily cope with lost and damaged cards, which is a regular event with hotel guests, without compromising on the security or ease of use.
