Choosing the Right Electronic Hotel Lock for Your Property

Selecting the right hotel door locking system is one of the most consequential decisions a property manager or security consultant can make. The lock must balance guest convenience, operational efficiency, and long-term security integrity - all while integrating cleanly with your property management system (PMS). dormakaba's Saflok range, distributed in New Zealand by Essential Security Supplies, delivers on all three fronts with a proven track record across hotels, motels, and serviced apartments.

The dormakaba Saflok Range: An Overview

Saflok 790 Series: Reliable RFID Locking for Hotels

The Saflok 790 is dormakaba's entry-level hotel lock, designed for properties that require robust, tamperproof security without the complexity of advanced connectivity. It features a 1" solid deadbolt (with optional auto deadbolt), staff monitoring via keycard audits, and multiple emergency access methods including emergency keycard, mechanical key, and electronic override.

The 790 series is available in three variants:

  • 790-Non-BLE - Standard RFID, no Bluetooth
  • 790-BLE-Ready - Bluetooth hardware installed but not activated
  • 790-BLE-Enabled - Full Bluetooth connectivity active
790-Non-BLE dormakaba Electronic Hotel Lock - Standard RFID hotel door lock no Bluetooth NZ

The BLE-Ready variant is a cost-effective choice for properties planning a phased upgrade to mobile key or app-based access in the future, without paying for full Bluetooth activation upfront.

Bluetooth-Enabled vs Bluetooth-Ready vs Non-BLE: Which Should You Choose?

Understanding the difference between these three configurations is critical when specifying a hotel lock system:

  • Non-BLE - Standard RFID keycard access only. Best for properties with no current or planned mobile key requirements. Lower upfront cost.
  • BLE-Ready - Bluetooth hardware is installed but not activated. Allows future upgrade to mobile key access without replacing the lock hardware. A practical choice for properties planning a phased technology rollout.
  • BLE-Enabled - Full Bluetooth Low Energy connectivity active. Supports mobile key access via smartphone, enabling keyless check-in and check-out workflows. Ideal for properties prioritising guest convenience and modern PMS integration.

For most new hotel installations in New Zealand, the BLE-Ready or BLE-Enabled configuration is recommended to future-proof the investment. dormakaba's Bluetooth implementation complies with industry standards for hospitality access control, and the Saflok platform integrates with leading PMS providers.
