Nowadays, more and more apartments and holiday homes are opting for smart access systems as a way to increase security and offer a much more pleasant experience for guests.
And, as part of this trend for more advanced, modern systems, there is an increasingly in-demand solution: the invisible lock. In addition to security, this type of lock offers discretion and total control for both guests and owners.
As experts in hotel and hospitality solutions, we at Omnitec Systems have taken access technology to the next level, and now offer our own invisible Bluetooth lock, called ATIK PRO: Our most discreet, secure and practical model for holiday rentals.
Here, we tell you all about all the advantages of the ATIK PRO lock so you can appreciate why you should choose it for your holiday rental.
What is an invisible lock and why is it so popular?
First of all, let's explain exactly what an invisible lock is and why it has become so popular in recent years.
An invisible lock is a type of access system specifically designed to be discreetly integrated into doors without altering their appearance. In other words, it's a lock designed to go unnoticed.
And why is it so popular? There are several reasons:
- Minimalist aesthetics: as an invisible lock has little visual impact on the outside - as it's installed inside the door - it's ideal if you're looking for a minimalist design for your holiday home.
- Enhanced security: its discretion minimises the chance of it being forced by intruders. And, as well as being invisible, it's a Bluetooth lock, which means it's digital and provides even greater control.
- Keyless convenience: you access without physical keys and can open the door using a mobile – either your own or a guest's, who you have given temporary access to.
- Smart features: such as remote opening, activity logging and integration with smart assistants or home automation systems.
Thus, an invisible lock differs from a traditional one in not relying exclusively on physical keys and visible mechanisms. In addition to altering the design of the door, such old-fashioned systems no longer meet the high expectations of today's guests.
ATIK PRO, Omnitec's most advanced invisible lock
Not all invisible locks are the same, of course. At Omnitec, we have developed a highly advanced holiday rental lock, called the ATIK PRO.
This state-of-the-art motorised lock can be accessed via Bluetooth, a numeric code or remotely. It's an ideal option for any home, but especially if you have a holiday rental.
Whether you're a property owner, a holiday rental manager or simply want to modernise access to your accommodation centre without investing in complex refurbishment, the advantages of our invisible lock are undeniable: security, ease of use and installation, control and more.
Let's take a closer look:
1. Discreet, elegant design
One of the great virtues of the ATIK PRO is its sleek, compact design and ability to be fully integrated into any door without altering its design.
It is installed simply, quickly and cleanly inside the door and thus requires no renovation work. So it's the ideal solution if you want to maintain the original appearance of your door, without any external features disrupting its design harmony.
And, of course, a polished, modern design can make all the difference to the guest experience.
2. Opening methods: complete convenience
ATIK PRO is an invisible and highly versatile lock, with different opening methods, depending on the user and situation:
- Via Bluetooth, from your mobile phone.
- A numeric code on an external keypad (FreePad).
- Remotely via a Wi-Fi gateway.
- Via remote control (up to 10 m distance).
So you can open the door without a physical key, send digital access from anywhere in the world or allow temporary contactless entry. You no longer need to coordinate key deliveries or have to deal with lost or duplicate keys: everything is controlled from your mobile.
However, if you want to maintain a traditional locking option, that's fine. The lock is installed in a double-clutch cylinder, so you can also use it as a mechanical lock with a standard key.
3. Access management from the Rent&Pass app
Another great advantage of our lock is that it integrates natively with the Omnitec Rent&Pass app, a tool designed for smart, simple access control, compatible with both Android and iOS.
So you can create custom access codes from the app, limit their validity by date or time and send virtual keys remotely.
This feature is especially useful if you have a number of properties or deal with frequent bookings, as it automates a crucial part of the process - check-in - saving you a lot of time.
As well as remote check-in/check-out management, the app lets you monitor the use of the lock, via a detailed access log, so you have the peace of mind of knowing who enters your apartment and when.
4. ATIK PRO's technical features
Beyond its design and usability, ATIK PRO stands out for its advanced technology. It is a motorised lock with a robust system that opens and closes reliably at all times:
- It works with long-life, rechargeable batteries and a magnetic charging system designed to withstand excessive pulling while providing a battery life of up to 1,500 openings per charge.
- It has an auto-lock configurable from the app in two different automatic closing modes: by sensor or by programmable timer.
- It can also be opened from the inside by turning or pressing, for greater safety.
All these features make it a high-performance solution, capable of offering maximum security even in demanding environments such as holiday rentals.
5. Compatible accessories: expand your possibilities
Last but not least, our invisible lock has a range of accessories to suit the needs of every home or type of guest. Did you know that?
This includes remote control, a door sensor, as well as:
- The freepad: an external numeric keypad for opening with a code. This is convenient if you prefer a mobile phone-free system or wish to provide an alternative access method for users.
- The Wi-Fi gateway: this connects the lock to the Internet, providing remote management and opening in real time from anywhere in the world. So you can always open the door for a technician or guest when you're not around, or simply check the status of your lock whenever you need to.
Why choose ATIK PRO for your home or holiday rental?
