Company profile

researched Aug 2026

RemoteLock provides cloud-based, hardware- and software-agnostic access control software that lets property owners and managers grant, schedule and revoke access to doors across a portfolio from a single centralized dashboard. The platform manages smart locks from leading manufacturers as well as wired access control devices, covering unit doors, perimeter and lobby entries, elevators, parking garages, amenity spaces, mailrooms, storage and back-of-house areas. Customers can operate through RemoteLock's own interface or embed access control features into their own applications via the company's API.

The product spans three segments: vacation rental, where operators generate unique guest codes and coordinate turnover and cleaning crews remotely; multifamily, where resident and staff credentials, unit doors and common areas are unified in one system; and commercial facilities, where schedules, instant revocation on staff turnover and audit trails are emphasized. Adjacent capabilities include hospitality guest apps with branded check-in and digital guidebooks, multifamily resident apps with Bluetooth Low Energy mobile credentials that work without site-wide WiFi, cloud-based virtual intercom for visitor and delivery management, smart thermostats for climate automation, and water leak detection with real-time alerts.

The company operates an online storefront (shop.remotelock.com, with a separate UK/EU channel) selling compatible locks and devices, and positions its software as retrofit-ready so properties can modernize without replacing existing doors and hardware.

Business model

RemoteLock sells subscription-style access to its cloud software platform, with self-service onboarding for portfolios under roughly 10 doors and a demo-led, sales-assisted motion for larger multi-site portfolios. It also resells compatible smart locks and devices through its own online store and exposes an open API used by software partners to embed access control in their own products.

Software platform sold on a paid basis with published pricing tiers, complemented by hardware and device sales through the RemoteLock storefront.

Traction

Company materials cite more than 800 hardware and software integrations, over 30 hardware partners, more than 100,000 properties serviced and over 100 million system opens per year across 75 countries. At the time of the January 2022 Series B, RemoteLock reported more than 10,000 customers, installations in over 65 countries and more than 100 million door opens managed annually. Published case studies include Evermore Orlando Resort (757 doors), Mint House, Hogsalt, Roers Companies, Summit County Mountain Retreats and Mid-Florida Home Management (90 properties). The company states customers see roughly 65% fewer access-related service requests, 60% less turnover administrative time and 50% less manual work.

Latest developments

Current company materials describe an expanded platform spanning centralized access control, automation and integrations, and property operations apps, including a resident mobile app with offline Bluetooth Low Energy credentials, virtual intercom, smart thermostat control and water leak detection, alongside a reported 800+ integrations and coverage of 75 countries.

Full profile — market position, technology, go-to-market, geography, history

Market position

The company describes itself as the first access control platform that is both hardware and software agnostic and as having launched the first universal access platform, positioning against single-brand smart lock ecosystems and legacy wired access control systems.

Lock-agnostic and software-agnostic architecture that works with hardware and property management systems already in place rather than requiring rip-and-replace, combined with an API-first approach that allows partners to embed access control in their own applications and manage a mixed device fleet from one dashboard.

Technology

Cloud-based access control software with a unified dashboard showing device status, activity, user access and alerts; custom roles, user groups and permissions; admin logs and configuration history; automated access workflows triggered by bookings, schedules or events; and an open API for custom integrations. The platform integrates with property management and booking systems and with a broad range of smart lock and wired access hardware, and continues to provide control and visibility when devices lose connectivity. The resident mobile app issues Bluetooth Low Energy credentials that function offline in buildings without site-wide WiFi, and the platform also manages connected thermostats and water leak sensors.

Go-to-market

Two-track acquisition: self-service account creation for smaller portfolios and personalized demos for operators with more than ten doors. The company also markets through published customer case studies, an integrations catalog spanning PMS and booking platforms, content such as blogs and webinars, and a direct e-commerce channel for compatible devices.

Vacation rental and short-term rental operators, multifamily property owners and managers, commercial facility and office operators, hotels and boutique hospitality properties, and software partners such as property management systems. Customers range from single locations and portfolios under ten doors to multi-site operators managing thousands of doors.

Geography

Headquartered in Denver, Colorado. At the time of the 2022 Series B the company reported installations in more than 65 countries; company materials subsequently cite 75 countries. Its online store serves US customers, with a separate purchasing path for the UK and EU.

History

As of the January 2022 Series B announcement, RemoteLock stated it had been automating access control and property operations for more than ten years, with Nolan Mondrow serving as CEO and Hull McKinnon as COO. In January 2022 the company announced a $17.8 million Series B led by UnitLeader, with existing investors Kozo Keikaku Engineering and Iron Gate Capital participating, and added UnitLeader CEO Dana Zeff to its board.
