Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to some of the most common questions we receive from our clients.
Do Dormakaba locks need WiFi?
The Dormakaba Oracode locks do not specifically require WiFi for their core functionality. They operate using web-based systems for code management, which implies needing internet access for some administrative tasks, but not necessarily continuous WiFi connectivity for lock operation.
The system supports Offline Mode, meaning that the program can access codes even if offline.
Are Dormakaba locks safe and secure?
Designed to increase security at properties, the Oracode system manages a temporary user’s access control privileges. With the ability to record all transactions in the lock and on the web, accountability is clear.
• Codes are generated through a high-security server on the Internet
• Transactions at the lock or web application are traceable
• The system grants unique access for up to 128 different user types
• Valid codes automatically expire at the end of the authorized period
• The lock has the capacity to retain audit trail events, including the time and date of the last 5,000 events
• Locks are equipped with an emergency key override and include a bumpresistant core
Guest Verificaton: Enso Connect adds an extra layer of protection by implementing a verification process, ensuring that door codes are only released to verified guests. This helps to enhance security and reduce the risk of unauthorized access, providing peace of mind for Hospitality professionals.
How long do batteries last in Dormakaba locks?
The battery life of Dormakaba locks can vary depending on factors such as usage frequency, environmental conditions, etc.
Both Oracode locks use three alkaline batteries that provide approximately two to three years of operation before batteries need replacing.
Enso Connect’s updated smart device dashboard provides battery level indicators to keep users informed about the remaining battery life. Regularly monitoring the battery status and replacing them as needed ensures uninterrupted operation of the locks.
Can you hack Dormakaba Locks?
Dormakaba locks, like any mobile device, are not immune to potential hacking attempts. However, Dormakaba has implemented multiple security measures to mitigate the risk of unauthorized access. They employ industry-standard encryption protocols and security practices to protect communication between the lock and the mobile app.
Over the years, Dormakaba has built a reputation for quality and reliability, and its smart locks and access control systems are used in a wide range of commercial and residential buildings, including office buildings, hotels, hospitals, schools, and apartment buildings. The company has also won numerous industry awards for its products and services.
What if the Dormakaba lock fails and guests can't check in?
In the rare event of an Dormakaba lock failure that prevents guests from checking in, it is crucial to have contingency plans in place to ensure a smooth guest experience. Here are a few steps you can take:
Secondary Smart Lock: Enso Connect can manage multiple smart locks per property, even from differing brands, so install a smart lock on your back door for the rare instances that your front door lock decides not to function correctly.
Have a Backup Key: Maintain a backup key option that can be provided to guests in case of any unforeseen lock failures or technical issues. This ensures that guests can still access the property even if the smart lock experiences a malfunction.
24/7 Support: Offer round-the-clock customer support to promptly address any issues that guests may encounter. Have a dedicated support team available to assist guests in case of lock failures or difficulties during the check-in process. In some cases you may want to use the auto-unlock feature to remotely let your guests in.
Remote Troubleshooting: If possible, attempt to troubleshoot the lock remotely by guiding guests through potential solutions via phone or app. This may involve restarting the lock or attempting to resolve any connectivity issues.
