Generate access keys for shared spaces using the integrated door lock module.

Overview

Common Areas are shared spaces at a property—such as car parks, pools, or gym facilities—that require key access. These areas can be made accessible to guests during their stay through integration with a compatible Door Lock module.

The Door Locks module allows RMS to integrate with partnered smart lock or digital lock systems, enabling seamless key generation and access management.

• Common Area Mapping is used to link shared spaces (Common Areas) with specific Areas in the system. When a Key is created on a Reservation, access to the associated Common Areas is automatically enabled.

• Key Creation: Keys can be encoded directly from the Reservation using the Key icon . 

• The Key Serial Number will be recorded in the Reservation's Audit Trail for tracking purposes.
