Card Lock (Hotel)
Overview
The Card Lock (Hotel) is Beakn's classic RFID key-card lock purpose-built for hotel guest rooms. It opens with an RFID card or a mechanical key — nothing else. There's no fingerprint, PIN, app, or OTP support, keeping the lock simple, robust, and easy for front-desk teams to manage at scale. Built with a Stainless Steel body to withstand the high-traffic wear of hotel operations, it's designed to be the reliable, no-frills workhorse of hotel access control.
Features
•RFID card access — guests are issued a card at check-in that unlocks their room for the duration of stay.
•Mechanical key override — staff-controlled physical key for emergencies, lockouts, or maintenance access.
•Stainless Steel body — durable construction designed to hold up under high-traffic hotel usage.
•Battery-powered — runs on AA batteries; no mains wiring or neutral wire required at the lock.
•Fully offline operation — since there's no app/internet dependency, the lock is unaffected by WiFi or internet outages; card and key always work.
•Low-battery alerts — warns before batteries run out (consistent with other AA-battery Beakn locks).
•Multiple finish options — Black, Gold, Silver, Rosegold to match hotel interior design/branding.
•No fingerprint/PIN/app/OTP — intentionally excluded to keep the lock simple, fast to issue/reissue, and easy for hotel staff workflows.
