America's Most Trusted® Lock
Brand1 Provides Additional Convenience to Users of
Leading Home Rental Marketplace
CARMEL,
Ind., March 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Schlage®, a
leading provider of home security and access solutions for over a
century, today announced that its smart lock integration with
Airbnb is now live. From today, most Airbnb Hosts with listings in
the US and Canada will have
seamless access to the industry-leading Schlage Encode™
Smart WiFi Lock Family directly within the Airbnb app,
improving and simplifying entry and exit logistics for guests.
The new Schlage smart lock integration grants Airbnb Hosts
control of the Schlage Encode™ Smart WiFi
Deadbolt, Schlage Encode Plus™ Smart WiFi Deadbolt2
and the Schlage Encode™ Smart WiFi Lever within the Airbnb
app. Hosts can now streamline the check-in and checkout process
with automatically generated access codes for guests, removing the
need to create unique codes for each visitor manually. Access codes
will be shared with the guests at the time of booking—codes are
only active during their trip—and are automatically deactivated
after checkout. Hosts can extend a guest's reservation as needed in
the Airbnb app, and the code will automatically update to remain
active through the updated reservation length.
"Smart locks are uniquely suited to make life easier for people
who rent their property on platforms like Airbnb because they
eliminate the need for exchanging physical keys. They provide a
level of ease for both Hosts and guests, even when reservations
need to be modified or canceled, and are generally safer than
traditional door locks," said Tim
Eskew, senior manager of IoT Partnerships at Schlage. "The
added peace of mind and convenience will offer a huge benefit to
Airbnb Hosts with listings in the U.S. and Canada."
The Schlage Encode Family of products are well suited to support
Hosts looking to take advantage of this new automation experience
within the Airbnb app. With a simple installation process, long
battery life and secure and reliable WiFi connection, Schlage locks
provide guests with convenient access to homes listed on Airbnb.
With advanced notice of property entry requirements and codes,
guests will know exactly how and when to enter a property.
Both Airbnb guests and Hosts can benefit from the convenience
that Schlage locks provide. The new experience is now available to
most Hosts with listings in the US and Canada within the Airbnb app. Hosts can learn
more about the Schlage Encode Family of products and find a
retailer at Schlage.com/smartlocks.
