AdemLock is an electronic locking system for hotels. Locks are produced by the ademlock.com company.

AdemLock is integrated with Exely PMS. Every hotel room is assigned a unique lock number, and keys are encoded in booking details. At check-in, a guest is issued an electronic key to access the room that has been booked.
