Each individual hotel is a world apart made up of rooms, staff-only spaces, communal areas, storerooms, kitchens, technical zones and service spaces. In large hotels or those which are part of hotel chains managing who accesses what – and when – is an everyday operational necessity.
In this context master key systems are essential to simplifying procedures, improving internal organisation and ensuring security for guests and staff alike.
In the hospitality sector individuals – managers, cleaning and maintenance staff – all need to access different areas at different frequencies and timeframes, depending on role, and without jeopardising guests’ privacy.
Master key systems enable access to be managed in a secure and personalised way in individual hotels.
The principle is multi-level access management. Each individual level corresponds to different authorisation levels: single doors, all the rooms on a given floor or multiple floors for cleaning purposes, the various laundry areas, maintenance, etc. and then there’s a key which opens all the hotel’s doors. The result is operational simplification: fewer keys, fewer unauthorised duplicates, more control
A well-designed system generates benefits at all organisational levels.
For hotels wanting to combine operational simplicity with cutting-edge control CISA offers a range of mechanical cylinders compatible with master key systems designed to ensure maximum protection against unauthorised duplication configurable at multiple hierarchical levels.
Solutions can be extended and made even more efficient with the addition of:
eSIGNO electronic locks ideal for rooms, which can be activated via card or smartphone on the CISA Smart Access App, and wall readers for the common area doors (reception, spa, car parks, technical areas).
This combination of mechanical and digital elements makes for flexible, scalable and highly professional management ideal for large independently owned hotels and chains.
