RemoteLock Review: Universal Access Control for STR Properties (2026)

1 min readReviewed by STR Specialist

Overview

RemoteLock is an enterprise-grade access control platform that works with 800+ hardware models and software integrations. Instead of locking you into one lock brand, it acts as a universal hub — manage Schlage, Yale, Dormakaba, and Kwikset locks from a single dashboard.

  • Best for property managers with 20+ doors who need centralized access control across mixed hardware.
