Access Control Systems for Hospitality: Secure, Scalable, Guest-Focused

In the hospitality industry, a robust access control system plays a critical role in guest experience and property security. With the global market for access solutions growing strongly (est. USD 10.8 billion in 2024, projected to USD 17.3 billion by 2030) :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}, hotels need systems that combine reliability, flexibility and ease of use.

LabKey designs and manufactures access control systems that combine Italian engineering, smart connectivity, and user-centric design. Our technology enables hotels, resorts, and hospitality structures to manage guest and staff access efficiently through cloud-connected devices and modular integration.

Device Technologies: NFC, Keypad and QR Code

Every property has different access needs. LabKey provides three complementary device technologies within one unified access control system:

  • NFC / RFID Readers – Enable guests to access rooms or facilities using contactless cards or smartphones, reducing key management overhead and improving check-in flow. LABKEY GLASS Device NFC
  • Numeric Keypads – Ideal for staff entrances, maintenance areas or service doors. Codes can be created, limited and revoked remotely. LABKEY GLASS Keypad
  • QR Code Scanners – Allow temporary or mobile access for guests, events, or shared spaces, offering maximum flexibility. LABKEY QrCode Access Control
