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.

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

      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.

      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 and Lynx?

      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 and Lynx?

      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.
