Beyond the front door: Property-Wide access in one dashboard

Multifamily properties are more than a collection of unit doors. From elevators and garages to gates and storage areas, each access point plays a vital role in keeping operations efficient and residents secure. Managing access across these diverse door types can quickly become complex — especially as your property grows.

Manage every door

RemoteLock simplifies this complexity. Our access-centered property operations software gives multifamily property managers complete visibility and control over every door in every building — not just unit doors. With flexible hardware compatibility and powerful automation tools, RemoteLock lets you manage access for residents, staff, and vendors from a single dashboard.

How to manage interior office suites and utility rooms with role-based access

Interior commercial doors — like office suites or utility rooms — often require selective access based on staff roles. With RemoteLock, you can easily assign time-bound PINs or mobile credentials, track activity, and revoke access instantly. Whether you're managing a leasing office or maintenance hub, you stay in control without needing to be on-site.

Exit bar doors

Exit bar doors are essential for safety and compliance. RemoteLock supports compatible exit hardware to ensure these doors remain secure while meeting local egress regulations. You can monitor usage, restrict entry from the outside, and integrate these doors seamlessly into your broader access system.

Storage closets and cabinets

From janitorial supplies to IT equipment, storage spaces often house sensitive materials. With RemoteLock, you can secure closets and cabinets using hardwired or wireless locks — and track every access event in real time. Custom schedules ensure that only authorized staff can access these areas when needed.

Why main entrance access sets the tone for your building

The first impression of your property starts at the main entrance. RemoteLock supports smart locks that handle high traffic, integrate with mobile credentials, and offer digital entry for residents and guests. Plus, bulk access tools allow you to manage credentials for entire resident groups at once, improving both security and efficiency.

How elevator access control limits floor access by user role

Elevator access control is a growing priority in multifamily buildings. RemoteLock’s integrations with elevator systems allow you to limit floor access based on user roles — giving residents access only to their floor while allowing staff or vendors broader reach. It's an added layer of security without added complexity.

How RemoteLock extends centralized control to outdoor access points

Whether it's a parking lot gate or a pool entrance, RemoteLock brings centralized control to outdoor access points.

How RemoteLock manages garage access for residents and visitors

Garages are a high-traffic area that often require flexible, secure access. RemoteLock works with various locking mechanisms and can assign roles, time-based permissions, and mobile access to residents, staff, or service providers. Whether managing daily traffic or special deliveries, you remain in control.

How narrow-stile locks bring access control to glass door entries

Narrow or full-glass doors don’t need to be access control exceptions. RemoteLock supports narrow-stile locks that fit the unique dimensions of glass doors, offering the same software-based control as any other entry point. This is ideal for entryways in amenity spaces, fitness centers, or conference rooms.

Centralized access for greater efficiency

RemoteLock unifies access control across your property — from unit doors to shared spaces and specialty doors. Our software integrates with hundreds of lock models and leading property management systems, offering unmatched flexibility and scalability.

Whether you're upgrading a few access points or securing an entire portfolio, RemoteLock delivers the control, automation, and visibility you need to operate more efficiently.
