YonAnn Mifare Hotel Lock System Components

Compatibility & Retrofit

(Door Types, Lock Body Options & System Replacement)

YonAnn MIFARE hotel lock systems are designed for high compatibility and easy retrofit, making them suitable for both new hotel projects and system upgrades. The locks support a wide range of door types, including wooden doors, metal doors, fire-rated doors, and security doors. Multiple lock body specifications are available to match different door thicknesses, backsets, and mortise standards commonly used in hotels and apartments worldwide.

For properties using legacy systems such as magnetic stripe or Temic hotel locks, YonAnn provides complete replacement solutions. Existing doors can usually be reused without major structural modification, reducing renovation time and cost. During system upgrades, old key cards are replaced with MIFARE RFID cards, while new locks, card encoders, and management software are installed to ensure improved security, stability, and long-term reliability.

Deployment Options

(Standalone, Networked & PMS Integration)

YonAnn MIFARE hotel lock systems support flexible deployment modes to meet different project sizes and management requirements.

Standalone Mode is ideal for small hotels or apartments, where locks operate independently, and key cards are issued locally without network wiring.
Networked Mode connects locks through gateways, enabling centralized management, real-time monitoring, and multi-area access control for larger properties.
For advanced hospitality projects, the system can be integrated with Property Management Systems (PMS), allowing automatic card issuance, check-in/check-out synchronization, and reduced front desk workload.

This modular deployment approach ensures that hotels can start simple and scale easily as their operational needs grow.

Case & Use Scenarios

(Hotels, Apartments, Resorts & Dormitories)

MIFARE hotel lock systems are widely adopted across various hospitality and residential environments due to their flexibility and security.

In hotels, the system enables secure guest room access, elevator control, energy management, and detailed audit trails.
In serviced apartments, it supports long-term stays, flexible permission management, and centralized access control.
In resorts, one MIFARE card can grant access to rooms, parking, swimming pools, gyms, and entertainment areas, enhancing guest convenience.
In dormitories and staff housing, administrators can manage access by time, role, or building zone, ensuring controlled and traceable entry.

These diverse use cases make the MIFARE hotel lock system a reliable one-card access solution for both commercial and residential projects.

Each step has tips to notice. Door locks have the function of an alarm when they are not locked, lock automatically within 7 seconds, a deadbolt, etc function.
