| Overview | 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. | 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. | This profile covers the Encode BE489 deadbolt. It has Wi-Fi built in and uses Schlage Home. You do not need another device for remote access. Plus, Connect and Lever are different products. Remote access still needs power, Wi-Fi and internet at the property. The app is free, but a property-software connection may cost extra. |

Compare locks and guest-entry tools — igloohome Deadbolt Go vs Lynx vs Schlage Encode Smart WiFi Deadbolt
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.
Schlage Encode Smart WiFi Deadbolt: what to consider
Check that you are buying BE489, not another Encode model. Remote access needs power, Wi-Fi and internet at the property. A free maker app does not make all links to property software free. Read the Schlage Encode Smart WiFi Deadbolt profile for its plans and requirements.

Common questions
What should I check before choosing between igloohome Deadbolt Go, Lynx and Schlage Encode Smart WiFi Deadbolt?
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 Schlage Encode Smart WiFi Deadbolt?
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 connect Schlage Encode Smart WiFi Deadbolt directly to Airbnb?
Airbnb lists this model for its direct smart-lock feature. The listing must be in the US or Canada and meet Airbnb’s other rules. The lock needs internet and a keypad. Check the exact model and listing before you rely on codes linked to bookings.
