TTLock Review: Smart Lock Solutions for Vacation Rentals (2026)

1 min readReviewed by STR Specialist

Overview

TTLock is a global provider of smart lock solutions, supplying PCBAs (printed circuit board assemblies) that turn regular locks into smart locks. Unlike consumer brands like August or Nuki that sell finished locks, TTLock provides the technology inside the lock — making it a B2B solution for lock manufacturers and property managers who build custom setups.

  • Their ecosystem includes TTLock (smart lock management), TTRenting (property management), and TTHotel (hotel management) software platforms.
