The Alloy Deadbolt+ allows residents to add their keys to Apple Wallet, making it easy to access the door with a simple tap on their ‌iPhone‌ or Apple Watch. Express mode allows this functionality without the need to unlock the device, and the power reserve guarantees access for up to five hours after the device’s battery runs out. Apple does not monitor the use of resident keys and misplaced devices can be managed through the Find my application.

For property managers, the Alloy Deadbolt+ streamlines operations by reducing expenses related to key entry and management. It also makes it easy to grant temporary access to guests and service providers and integrates with platforms supporting self-guided tours and mobile maintenance.

The device complies with essential fire safety regulations, offering a 90 minute fire rating, making it suitable for a variety of residential and mixed-use properties. The new smart lock debuted at a Starwood Capital Group property, highlighting its potential for adoption in high-end rental communities. Pricing and availability have not yet been announced.
