DirectKey™ FAQ
We're here to help you navigate the world of mobile access.
DirectKey technology provides an additional security layer on top of existing hotel systems with a 128-bit AES encryption key that is unique to the door lock for which the credential was generated.
In many cases, DirectKey technology can work as an upgrade instead of a full lock replacement – enabling mobile access for guest room locks, public doors, and even parking systems and elevators. DirectKey technology can also be retrofitted into existing Onity locks - saving both time and deployment costs.
Absolutely. DirectKey implementation is flexible for any size property with or without a large IT infrastructure. Onity provides a mobile app that can be easily customized with a unique hotel logo, property photos and contact information. This minimizes costs and reduces the development time and implementation of DirectKey technology.
The capabilities of DirectKey technology go beyond access. Onity’s approach uses DirectKey technology and Bluetooth® enabled locks to create a connected room experience. This experience empowers guests via their smartphone to control a host of in-room smart devices - from lamps to drapes to temperature controls and more. This can create a highly-personalized experience, if guests are willing to share their personal preferences.
DirectKey technology makes access quick and easy for guests through their mobile key - providing a seamless journey – from parking, to elevators, to the guest’s room. Guests can also use their phone to access various secure spaces equipped with Bluetooth enabled locking devices, such as pool-side lockers or other storage locations on the property. Onity’s mobile-enabled locks use Bluetooth technology to stay in a ready state, so guests can unlock doors while on the move, without having to stop their stride or touch the phone to the lock.
Absolutely. DirectKey technology can be easily integrated into existing customer integrations as well as other third party partner apps.
As with any technology implementation, timing varies. But our experience deploying DirectKey technology across nearly 1 million locks means we can move more efficiently and effectively. Our remote site survey program reduces the lead time for project quoting, allowing properties to get a project scheduled more quickly. From there, our project management, installation and commissioning, plus ongoing post-install support has proven to make implementation seamless.
