Access control has evolved far beyond traditional locks and keys. In today’s fast-paced, mobile-first environment, property managers need smarter, more flexible solutions. Whether managing a multifamily property or a self-storage facility, the right access control system can streamline operations, automate entry, and improve tenant experience.

Since the COVID-19 pandemic, the demand for contactless solutions has surged. Tenants and operators alike expect mobile access, faster onboarding, and touch-free entry—all while maintaining strict security standards. As a result, many property managers are turning to advanced access control technologies that not only meet these demands but also enhance overall property management efficiency. Smart locks, mobile credentials, and cloud-based access systems are becoming the standard, enabling operators to configure and manage access remotely.

Mobile access solutions allow tenants to unlock doors using their smartphones, eliminating the need for physical keys or keycards. This convenience simplifies the user experience and reduces the risk of lost or stolen keys. Moreover, mobile apps can provide real-time notifications, allowing managers to monitor access and track who enters and exits the property at any given time.

In addition to enhancing security, these systems can streamline tenant onboarding. Automated processes for granting access to new residents—such as sending mobile keys directly to their devices—can significantly reduce the time and effort required for property managers. This efficiency not only improves operational workflows but also creates a welcoming environment for tenants, who appreciate the seamless transition into their new homes.
