MTech hotel locks in Alberta and BC

Hightower designs, installs and fully supports MTech guest room locks end to end for hotels, motels, resorts and multi-room buildings, from Edmonton, Calgary and Red Deer to Kelowna, Vancouver and Victoria.

About MTech

MTech is a Canadian company based in Edmonton that makes locks and access systems for hotels and other multi-room buildings. Its line includes RFID guest room locks, the BASE RFID retrofit lock for upgrading mechanical locks and back-of-house doors, Bluetooth mobile keys, key management software and key cards, and guest access control for exterior entrances.

What we install from MTech

RFID guest room locks

Key card locks for guest rooms, encoded at the front desk for each stay, so a card stops working at check-out.

Retrofit RFID locks

The BASE RFID retrofit lock upgrades mechanical locks and back-of-house doors to key cards on existing doors.

Bluetooth mobile keys

Guests open their room with their phone, alongside or instead of a key card.

Key management and guest access

Front desk software for guest and staff keys, key cards, and guest access on exterior entrances.

Choosing the right MTech setup

Start with the doors: how many guest rooms, what locks are on them now, and which back-of-house and exterior doors guests and staff use. New builds and full renovations can take new RFID locks throughout; hotels with sound doors and mechanical locks can often use the retrofit lock instead. Then decide whether to offer mobile keys, and which shared doors, such as the side entrance, pool, gym or parkade, a guest key should open. We plan it around your front desk, so check-in stays quick.

Moving an existing hotel to MTech

Most hotels change locks floor by floor so rooms stay sellable. We survey the doors, plan the order with your manager, install and program the locks, set up the front desk software and encoders, and train the desk team. If your current lock system is no longer supported, we plan the change so no room is ever left without a working lock.

MTech, fully supported end to end

One team handles your MTech system from the first plan to years of service.

We survey the doors, plan the lock layout, install and program the locks and encoders, set up key management and mobile keys, connect guest access on exterior and shared doors, and train your front desk. After launch we support the property and service the locks for the life of the system.
