Check whether your rental-software partner supports Go.Lynx is software to manage guest access and connected-property tasks. Locks and installation are separate parts of the purchase. You can choose modules for access, a guest portal and messages. Public sources do not confirm a fixed price for a few properties. They do not confirm a minimum that applies to every quote.RemoteLock is cloud software for door access, based in Denver. Physical locks are separate. Its catalog includes Schlage Encode Deadbolt and Encode Plus. A supported brand does not confirm that your exact model, region, rental software plan or required bridge will work. These details come from public guides, not product tests.

        Compare locks and guest-entry tools — igloohome Deadbolt Go vs Lynx vs RemoteLock

        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.

        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.

        Lynx: what to consider

        Check the modules and hardware in your quote. Locks and fitting are separate parts of the setup. A fixed price for a few properties was not confirmed. Nor was a minimum that applies to every quote. Read the Lynx profile for its plans and requirements.

        RemoteLock: what to consider

        Check the exact lock model, region and software plan. A supported brand does not mean every lock in that brand will work. Include any needed bridge, hardware and setup costs in your choice. Read the RemoteLock 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 igloohome Deadbolt Go, Lynx and RemoteLock?

        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 igloohome Deadbolt Go, Lynx and RemoteLock?

        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.

        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.

        Which Lynx connection mode should I use with Airbnb?

        Use Inbox Only if your property software already handles stays and codes. Access Management and Inbox can import Airbnb listings and stays and manage codes without that software. Access Code Only leaves out the inbox. Choose the mode that fits the system you want to control codes.

        Can I set up a new RemoteLock connection through Hospitable?

        Hospitable says its old RemoteLock link is closed to new setups. Hosts who set it up before may keep using it. Check the latest notice before choosing this route. Plans for a new link do not mean it is ready to use.
