Door hardware
QR Gate works with any keypad from day one — no purchase, no installer. When a door needs to open on its own, add smart hardware. Every option falls back to your keypad code if anything goes wrong.

Smart-home hubs
Many locks don't have a cloud of their own: a hub controls them. QR Gate connects to the hub, so the door opens by itself for every verified visitor, with no daily limit and no per-door fee.

Why
These platforms don't let any outside service unlock a door. If your lock also works with Home Assistant or SmartThings, connect it that way
Safety first
Power loss keeps the outside locked. The inside handle or push bar always opens.
Maglocks trap people when they fail. We don't sell them or recommend them.
If a remote unlock doesn't go through, the visitor gets your keypad code instead.
Questions
No. If your door has a keypad, QR Gate works with it today: visitors verify their phone and receive the code. Smart hardware is an upgrade you can add later, one door at a time.
No. Our door kit uses a fail-secure electric strike — it only controls the outside. Leaving is always mechanical: the inside handle or push bar works with the kit unpowered and unplugged. We never use magnetic locks, which hold a door shut until power is cut.
Keys and keypads keep working — QR Gate hands out access, it doesn't sit inside your lock. And if a remote unlock fails for any reason, the visitor automatically gets your keypad code instead.
Wi-Fi locks from Yale, August, Schlage, Kwikset, igloohome, Lockly and Nuki — connected in the door's Lock tab on Pro, with a code for each visitor. TTLock keypad deadbolts connect directly, and Z-Wave, Zigbee and Matter locks on a SmartThings hub work too. No per-door fee for any of them. Home Assistant is next, then our own door kit.
Not directly — none of them let an outside service unlock a door. Most locks that work with them also work with SmartThings (or Home Assistant, coming soon), and that's how QR Gate reaches them.
Many popular Wi-Fi locks have no public API for businesses. We only connect through official, commercially permitted integrations — never unofficial workarounds that can break overnight and leave your door stuck.
Use the keypad option today, and email support@qrgate.app with the make and model. Native integrations get built in the order customers ask for them.
