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.
Check how guests enter and whether your software works with Nuki Web. Sharing digital access by hand does not need Smart Hosting. Booking links need that separate package for each lock. Read the Nuki Smart Lock (US Deadbolt) profile for its plans and requirements.
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.
Check the keyed or key-free model. Remote control needs a supported Wi-Fi module or Connect Bridge. Bluetooth alone works nearby. Read the temporary-code notice in the table before planning guest entry. Read the Yale Assure Lock 2 with Wi-Fi 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.
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.
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.
No. Nuki’s US guide calls for a single-cylinder deadbolt: a key outside and a thumbturn inside. The door’s swing and nearby hardware also affect fit. Use the US guide and measure the needed space before you buy.
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.
Airbnb lists Assure Lock 2 with Wi-Fi, including the Wi-Fi Touch and Plus models. It allows built-in Wi-Fi or a Connect Wi-Fi Bridge. The listing must be in the US or Canada and meet Airbnb’s other rules. Bluetooth alone is not the same setup.
