Why Hotels Are Switching to RFID-Based Smart Locks

In today’s fast-paced hospitality industry, guest experience and operational efficiency are everything. One of the biggest upgrades hotels are making to stay ahead is switching from traditional key locks to RFID-based smart locks. If you're still using old-school keys or mechanical card systems, it's time to see why more hotels are making the smart switch—with LAVNA leading the way.

•    The Problem with Traditional Hotel Locks
Traditional hotel locks come with a few major headaches:
•    Lost or misplaced keys by guests and staff.
•    Duplicate keys that compromise security.
•    No access tracking—you can’t know who entered a room and when.
In the age of technology, these issues not only hurts your efficiency but also your guest satisfaction.

•    The RFID Revolution in Hotel Security
RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) locks eliminate all of the above problems and offer a seamless, secure, and contactless access experience. Here's how LAVNA’S RFID-based hotel smart locks are transforming the way hotels operate:
1. Fast and Contactless Check-In
With RFID access cards, guests can skip the front desk and go straight to their rooms. Just tap the card—no fumbling with keys or remembering PINs.
2. Time-Based Access
LAVNA hotel smart locks allow you to program access for specific dates and times, automatically expiring after checkout.
3. Multiple Role-Based Access Cards
Create different access levels for staff (housekeeping, maintenance, management) and guests. This ensures only authorized personnel can enter restricted areas.
4. Energy Saving with Integrated Card Switch
LAVN hotel locks come with an energy saver unit, which ensures the power supply in the room only works when the RFID card is inserted—cutting down your electricity bills significantly.
5. Digital Monitoring via Mobile App
Hotel owners and managers can monitor unlock history remotely through the Lavna mobile app. Gain visibility into access logs in real-time for better control and security.
