Smart locks with integrated keypads allow guests to enter using secure PIN codes or digital keys sent automatically at check-in. When connected to Radefy’s platforms, the system manages access entirely in the background—activating the lock at check-in, logging all entries, and removing access at checkout, without any manual effort from the host. The host can easily manage Guest e-Keys and access remotely.

Yes—and this is where Radefy stands alone. Radefy’s solution allows guests to open the main building entrance using the same PIN or app access they use for their apartment door, without modifying the building’s lock or installing anything on it. The opening command is routed through the apartment’s existing intercom system, giving seamless entry to buildings where owners cannot alter shared access points.

Radefy combines smart lock automation with building-level access—something traditional smart locks cannot do. Guests enjoy one unified access method for both the main entrance and the apartment, while hosts avoid the cost, legal limitations, and technical complications of altering common-area locks. It’s a complete, scalable, and regulation-friendly solution for STR operators.

Guests receive one code or one digital key that opens both the building and the apartment—no key exchanges, no app downloads required, and no waiting outside for the host. This creates a frictionless arrival experience similar to a hotel, which boosts reviews and increases repeat bookings.

Not at all. The smart lock is installed only on the apartment door, and the Radefy intercom module is placed inside the apartment, connecting invisibly to the existing intercom wiring. No drilling, no modifying shared locks, and no approvals from the building’s association are required—making it the ideal solution for short-stay rentals in apartment complexes.
