Hospitality
Electronic door locks, keycard encoders, mobile keys, and cloud software in one system — with no monthly fees and locks that keep working when the network doesn't.
How it works
01
The front desk encodes an RFID keycard or wristband in seconds, or sends a mobile key straight to the guest's phone. Access is scoped to their room, floor, and amenities for the length of the stay.
02
Each door lock checks the card, code, fingerprint, or Bluetooth key locally — no Wi-Fi required at the door — and logs every opening with a timestamp and credential ID.
03
Housekeeping, maintenance, and management keys are issued by role and schedule. Lost cards are cancelled instantly, guest keys expire automatically at checkout, and audit trails are a click away.
System components
RFID, passcode, fingerprint, and mobile-key locks for guest rooms, connecting suites, and back-of-house doors.
Compact USB encoders program keycards and wristbands for check-in, group bookings, and staff credentials.
Panel-based control for elevators, parking gates, pools, gyms, and other common-area entrances.
Energy-saving switches, glass-door and gate hardware, and safes that share the same guest credential.

FAQ

A hotel access control system is the combination of electronic door locks, guest and staff credentials (keycards, mobile keys, passcodes, or fingerprints), encoders at the front desk, and management software that decides who can open which door and when. It replaces mechanical keys and standalone magstripe locks with a single, auditable system.
When a guest presents a keycard, phone, or code, the lock reads the credential and checks it against the permissions stored on the lock itself — room number, valid dates, and access level. If it matches, the motor retracts the latch and the opening is recorded. Because the check happens on the lock, the door still works if Wi-Fi or power to the building goes down.
No. Dusaw locks verify credentials locally and run for 12–18 months on standard batteries. Wi-Fi gateways are optional and add remote unlock, live activity logs, and battery alerts from any device.
Yes. Dusaw connects to hotel PMS platforms through an open API and existing integrations, so keys are issued from the same screen your front desk already uses for check-in. Our technical team confirms compatibility before you buy.
No. Dusaw hardware is a one-time purchase per lock. Software, updates, and U.S.-based support are included for the life of the system.
In most cases, yes. Dusaw locks fit standard commercial mortise and cylindrical door preps, so upgrading from magstripe or mechanical locks usually requires no new doors or wiring. We also work with architects and general contractors on new builds.
