KeyNest

KeyNest is a network of secure drop-off points for depositing and handing over physical keys to guests, cleaners and technicians. Based in local shops (grocers, cafés, tobacconists) open 24/7, KeyNest lets property managers organise self check-ins without installing any hardware on apartment doors.

KeyNest is ideal for Urban property managers running apartments without smart locks:

• 15 to 50 listings: property managers looking for a key handover solution with no staff travel.
• 50 to 200 listings: managers using KeyNest as their main solution or as a backup if an electronic lock fails.

• 24/7 partner shop points: Network of partner shops equipped with the KeyNest app to check the guest's identity and hand over the key against a secret code.
• Temporary pickup codes: Automatic generation of single-use codes valid for the exact stay dates.
• Real-time key movement tracking: Instant notifications as soon as a key is dropped off or collected by a guest or cleaner.
• Secure RFID key fobs: Each key set is linked to an anonymised RFID tag to ensure traceability.

• Dependent on shop opening hours: Some drop-off points are not open 24/7 (check the exact hours of the chosen shop).
• Guests must make a detour: The guest has to stop at the partner shop before going to the apartment.

• Monkey Locky: French network of automated connected lockers.
• Keycafe: SmartBox electronic key lockers at shops.
• Nuki: Standalone smart lock installed directly on the property's door.
