Frequently Asked Questions
“Smart card” technology was developed 20 years ago and has reached the end of its life cycle. We have experienced numerous challenges as smart cards have approached the end of their utility, most notably:
- The hardware needed to support SentriCards® is no longer supported by the manufacturer, and the technology to support this internally presents security concerns for our end-users we are not willing to jeopardize.
- Smart cards do not support the latest highly desirable home access features that REALTORS® want.
- Bluetooth® technology and connectivity is the new standard for mobile business needs.
As a trusted technology company, SentriLock takes pride in always keeping a keen eye toward the future while staying firmly committed to providing the best overall customer experience and long product life. This means migrating to superior Bluetooth® connectivity and a robust smartphone “App”-based environment.
The innovative features and functionality of the SentriKey® Real Estate mobile app offer the best customer experience and can be constantly enhanced with improved features that help real estate professionals.
Retirement of the SentriCard® means that it will no longer be supported as a means of access to lockboxes. You will need to download and use the SentriKey® Real Estate mobile app to continue using the SentriLock system to show properties.
Regarding your old boxes, your existing lockboxes will continue to work. SentriLock’s SentriKey® Real Estate mobile app is backwards-compatible with all lockboxes. To take full advantage of the features and functionality available through the app, we recommend using a Bluetooth®-enabled lockbox, but our app solution will work with all existing SentriLock previous-generation lockboxes.
