Description
Latchkey gives short-term rental hosts a single dashboard to manage smart lock access codes across every listing and every platform, auto-generating and expiring codes tied to actual booking dates instead of hosts managing codes by hand.
Problem
Hosts running multiple listings across multiple platforms end up managing lock codes manually, a process that's both tedious and a real security gap when codes aren't reliably expired.
Solution
A unified dashboard syncing bookings across platforms directly to smart lock code generation and expiration, removing the manual step entirely.
Target market
Short-term rental hosts and property management companies managing 5+ listings.
Business model
Per-listing monthly SaaS fee.

Auto-expiring codes tied to actual booking dates closes a real security gap hosts don't think about until it's a problem.
