Good to know
Front of house and back of house
Guests need to get into their own room and nowhere else. Staff need to get through a shift without a ring of forty keys. The duty manager needs to open everything, including the cellar, cool rooms, office, cash room and kitchen store.
Turnover makes it harder. When a casual bar worker leaves with a key, that key still opens the cellar until the lock is changed. Guests take room keys home, and cleaners and contractors only need access at set times. A bottle shop has its own takings and its own keys.
Room locks, master keys and the cellar door
- Electronic room locks for hotels and motels. A lost key card is cancelled at the desk, with no lock to change.
- A master or grand master key system. Housekeeping gets a key for their floor, the duty manager gets a master and the owner gets a grand master.
- Cards, fobs or keypads on staff entries, the cellar and the office.
- Safes for takings and the office.
- Rekeys after staff changes, plus deadbolts and padlocks for gates, cool rooms and storage.
Brands we fit include SALTO, dormakaba and CMI safes. The full list is on our brands page.
Booked around your service
We can work in the morning before check-in, or between lunch and dinner. Ring 08 8410 3333 or email us at sales@nelsonlocksmiths.com.au. Tell us how many rooms and doors there are, who holds keys and what isn’t working. We send a quote, then a qualified locksmith fits the hardware and hands over the keys, cards or codes.
Lock jammed at 2am on a Saturday? Ring the same number.
Got a bottle shop on the same site? Its keys and takings can stay apart from the bar’s, on its own key level and its own safe.
