How the WAFERLOCK System Works
WAFERLOCK electronic locks can operate in three modes: autonomous, local (Bluetooth), and remote (via the internet).
🔹 Autonomous Mode
The electronic lock operates without an internet connection or external systems.
Access is granted using MIFARE chips (cards, key fobs, etc.) or PIN codes (model C760).
Smart locks are programmed with a special programming card.

🔹 Smartphone Control via Bluetooth
Using the Waferkey mobile application, the user can:
- add and remove users,
- assign temporary or permanent access,
- configure access schedules,
- manage multiple locks simultaneously,
- view access history,
- change lock settings and monitor battery level,
- send a digital key to another user’s smartphone (convenient for Airbnb).
Waferkey app
This approach makes the system especially convenient for Airbnb hosts, hotels, and offices where fast and secure access management without physical key handover is essential.
🔹 Remote Control via the Internet
With the additional Gateway R400 device, the lock can be managed remotely.
The same Waferkey application is used; the smartphone only requires an internet connection.
Where WAFERLOCK Locks Are Used
Airbnb and Short-Term Rentals
WAFERLOCK allows access to be granted for a strictly defined period, automatically blocking access after the rental ends.
This eliminates the need for in-person key handover and significantly increases security.
With the Gateway R400 installed, a PIN code or digital key can be created and sent to the guest remotely.
When using a lock without internet access, the host can remotely generate a digital key for the mobile app. In this case, the guest can unlock the door using their smartphone — also without any personal meeting.
Hotels and Serviced Apartments
WAFERLOCK electronic locks are suitable for hotel access systems with centralized management.
Specialized software solutions are available for hospitality projects:
Offices and Commercial Properties
The system allows:
- management of employee access;
- scheduling of access permissions;
- quick revocation of access rights when needed.
Electronic locks provide capabilities unavailable in mechanical systems — above all, flexibility and access history control.
