Advanced RemoteLock Features for Modern Multifamily Properties

Managing multifamily properties means balancing a wide range of needs — resident satisfaction, operational efficiency, and physical security — all while working with limited resources. That’s why today’s most effective property managers rely on technology to help do more with less.
RemoteLock’s access-centered property operations software is built with multifamily in mind. From automatically creating and revoking access codes to enabling mobile entry and controlling thermostats remotely, RemoteLock centralizes operations that used to require multiple systems — or multiple staff. Here’s how some of the platform’s most powerful features help streamline operations across multifamily portfolios.
Simplify Shared Access with Door Groups

Managing access across dozens of shared doors can get complicated fast. With RemoteLock’s Door Groups feature, property managers can bundle multiple locks into one group and assign access with a single action.
This feature is ideal for:
- Residents who can access gyms, pools, laundry rooms, and other common areas with one code.
- Maintenance teams who need recurring access to closets, garages, and boiler rooms.
- Leasing agents who tour prospects through multiple buildings.
- Staff who need consistent access to laundry facilities, gyms, or mailrooms.
Door groups remove the need to set permissions for each individual lock. It’s fast, scalable, and easy to modify as roles or teams change.
Automate Entry Times with Access Schedules

Access schedules let you automate who can enter where — and when. Rather than manually issuing and revoking access, managers can simply assign a schedule that restricts entry to specific days and times.
Schedules are especially useful for:
- Residents who need access to common areas like pools or lounges that close at night
- Vendors or contractors who only need access during business hours
- Housekeeping crews that operate on recurring timelines
Combined with door groups, access schedules provide a simple way to enforce rules and ensure your property stays secure — without extra oversight.
Control Every Door Remotely
Whether you’re granting access to an HVAC tech on-site or helping a resident who’s locked out, RemoteLock makes it easy to lock or unlock any door remotely. This real-time control is available right from your dashboard or smartphone, putting every lock in your portfolio at your fingertips.
No more rekeying or urgent drives to the property. With RemoteLock, fast response times become standard, not the exception.
Empower Residents with the Resident App

Today’s residents expect smart, self-service tools. RemoteLock’s Resident App delivers — offering app unlock, mobile credentials, and even guest unlock for deliveries and visitors.
The result? Fewer lockout calls and a smoother resident experience.
Plus, the app is compatible with both online and offline smart locks, including models like Schlage Control. This ensures full access coverage, even in buildings without managed Wi-Fi.
Add Thermostat and Leak Detection to Access Control
Beyond access control, RemoteLock can now manage thermostat settings and leak detection notifications, too. Our new integrations provide a single tool for all on-site property devices, so Property managers can:
- Automatically adjust temperatures in vacant units
- Detect water leaks in real time
- Reduce utility costs and prevent costly damage
These integrations expand the RemoteLock platform beyond locks, offering a smarter way to manage the full physical environment.
