New keys for old locks
Renewing the locks of a hotel or a ship usually means renewing everything else too: cards, encoders, the front desk and, at sea, the kiosks in every port. What if you didn’t have to?
Three ways to open one lock
Loyalty members of a major Baltic Sea shipping company open their cabins with their phones. Magstripe and NFC cards still work in the same lock, so the port systems were left untouched.
- 1
Key in the app
The passenger receives the cabin key in the shipping company’s own app.
- 2
The phone opens the cabin
On board, the cabin door opens with the phone, no card needed.
- 3
Cards still work
Magstripe and NFC cards work in the same lock. The port kiosks stayed as they were.

Your current hotel lock, now with NFC
We upgrade one of the most common hotel locks on the market to open with an NFC card. The lock stays in place, and the upgrade takes about 15 minutes per lock.
The lock stays
The door, lock case and handle stay as they are. The magstripe reader is removed and an NFC reader is fitted in its place.
About 15 minutes per lock
Rooms are upgraded one at a time, so the hotel keeps running as usual.
NFC instead of magstripe
An NFC card does not demagnetise next to a phone, so guests no longer return to the front desk with a card that won’t open the door.
The phone as a key
Once the system is connected to the hotel’s or hotel chain’s own guest app, guests can open their room with their phone. The same solution is already in service on Baltic Sea passenger vessels.

“We have used Lukoton’s locking system since the day we opened. It matters to us that there is a partner behind the system we can turn to when needed.”
“Working with Lukoton has been smooth and professional. We particularly value their customer-focused service. We warmly recommend Lukoton!”
