With the residential care home’s focus being to provide a safe and hygienic environment with reduced touch-points for residents and staff, Mul-T-Lock’s SMARTair® access control system replaces keys with a wireless locking system operated by smartcards and even smartphones when used in conjunction with Mul-T-Lock’s Openow™ app.

With SMARTair®, lost cards can be cancelled, and replacement cards reprogrammed for increased security. The system can be tailored to meet each building’s needs and can be reprogrammed using the latest in access control management software as those needs evolve, without having to replace any physical locking systems – making it a cost effective and straightforward solution for all residential care home and hospital buildings.

With no hardwiring, the system can be installed at low cost with minimal disruption to care home facilities. Designated system managers can also monitor and control access rights – allowing personnel access when needed and revoking access once it is no longer required.

By utilising the Openow™ app, facilities managers and security administrators can instantly send, revoke or update virtual keys from the designated SMARTair® software or web browser allowing staff to access specific buildings or rooms via their smartphone.

System managers can be anywhere in the world when controlling access rights; making the whole process more convenient and secure for everyone. This also significantly reduces whole life costing, as it removes the need to replace key cards when they are misplaced.
