| Overview | Consider U100 if you want local entry by keypad, fingerprint or compatible Apple home key. This profile covers the US Gray standalone SDL-D01 U100. It is not a kit. To manage Aqara Home passwords from a distance, buy a compatible Aqara Zigbee 3.0 hub separately. The lock price is only part of that setup. | Deadbolt Go supports a fingerprint, PIN, Bluetooth key or physical key. Its DBX1/DBX2 API listing supports algoPIN. This can make guest codes without a live link to a supported, paired lock. Do not assume offline codes let you unlock from afar, cancel access at once or set a custom PIN locally. The US store sells the lock. Check whether your rental-software partner supports Go. | PointCentral offers tools for guest and staff access and monitors linked devices. Its dashboard covers units, site borders and shared areas. It uses digital access details and logs events. These are vendor claims. Safety and performance are not independently confirmed. Whether new customers with 1–10 properties qualify is not confirmed. The stated setup minimum may exclude them. |

Compare locks and guest-entry tools — Aqara Smart Lock U100 vs igloohome Deadbolt Go vs PointCentral
Start at the door. Check whether the lock fits, how guests enter and what happens if power or internet fails. Then check remote control and booking links. A lock, a hub and access software can be separate purchases. Confirm the full setup before relying on automatic guest codes.
Aqara Smart Lock U100: what to consider
Check the model and hub you need. To manage Aqara Home passwords from afar, buy a supported Aqara Zigbee hub separately. The lock price alone does not cover that setup. Read the Aqara Smart Lock U100 profile for its plans and requirements.
igloohome Deadbolt Go: what to consider
Check the paired lock and partner support for algoPIN codes. An offline code does not let you unlock from afar. It does not let you remove access at once. Check these limits for guest changes. Read the igloohome Deadbolt Go profile for its plans and requirements.
PointCentral: what to consider
Ask if your property count qualifies. The vendor describes access logs and device tools; these do not prove safety results. A setup for a few properties was not confirmed. Read the PointCentral profile for its plans and requirements.
Explore all smart access options, how to choose a lock for a US rental, how to plan automatic guest access codes to continue your shortlist.
Common questions
What should I check before choosing between Aqara Smart Lock U100, igloohome Deadbolt Go and PointCentral?
Start with the exact door and lock model. Check the keypad, bridge or hub needed for your chosen booking connection. Decide which system should create and remove guest codes. A compatible brand name alone does not confirm that the full setup will work.
How should I plan backup entry with Aqara Smart Lock U100, igloohome Deadbolt Go and PointCentral?
Check how the exact model lets guests in if the main method fails. Test the guest steps before arrival and arrange local help. A code may work offline but still need an internet link for you to change or remove it.
What backup options does Aqara Smart Lock U100 offer for a flat battery?
Aqara lists a physical key and a USB-C port for backup power. Plan how a guest can reach the backup before the battery runs flat. These methods do not promise entry if there is another fault.
Do Deadbolt Go guests need the igloohome app?
A Bluetooth key needs the app and a nearby phone with Bluetooth on. A guest PIN uses the keypad instead. Use a guest PIN, not your Master PIN. Tell guests which method to use before they arrive.
Can PointCentral give staff different access from guests?
Yes. PointCentral describes access by role and time. Its hardware options use codes, fobs, badges, cards or phones. Ask which methods work on your exact doors. The list does not mean each lock supports them all.
