A dormakaba Case Study
Brindley Beach Vacations, a family-owned manager of more than 600 rental units scattered along the Outer Banks, faced frequent lock failures and high maintenance travel time due to salt spray, sand and remote locations (properties span roughly 70 miles and can be up to 1 hour 45 minutes from the nearest airport). To reduce support calls, improve guest access security, and enable energy management, they tested and selected Oracode keyless locks and Smart Controllers from dormakaba.
dormakaba deployed Oracode iSeries locks (including the 480i), Oracode Smart Controllers and integrated BeHome247 for enterprise property control, enabling time- and date-specific access codes, real-time entry notifications and remote thermostat control. The solution delivered greater reliability and security, reduced maintenance trips and related expenses across Brindley’s 600 units, provided auditable access logs for owners and managers, and enabled automated energy-saving controls — improving operations and ROI for Brindley Beach Vacations.
