UNITK Echo 100 Upgrades 64 Hotel Rooms in Morocco

In a recent hotel renovation project in Morocco, UNITK Echo 100 electronic hotel locks have been installed to upgrade 64 rooms. This project highlights the challenges and solutions involved in retrofitting existing hotel doors with modern electronic access systems.

The challenge of upgrading existing hotel doors lies in the need to replace electronic locks without making major changes to the existing doors. The doors in this project were already prepared for Saflok MtmT hotel locks. Completely changing the door preparation would have increased installation work, project time, and renovation costs. Mortise compatibility became a key consideration when selecting the replacement lock.

UNITK Echo 100, paired with a 70mm backset ANSI mortise, provided a practical solution. The mortise uses a reversed configuration that matches the requirements of this retrofit project, allowing the new locking solution to fit the existing door preparation without additional drilling for the mortise installation. This approach ensures that the hotel can retain its current doors while upgrading the electronic access system.

The UNITK Echo 100 is a classic electronic hotel lock designed for reliable daily hotel operation. For this Morocco project, its dimensions and configuration made it suitable for upgrading the existing hotel doors while maintaining a clean appearance after installation. The lock works with the TTHotel hotel access management system, providing hotels with a straightforward way to move from an older electronic locking system to modern digital access management.

This project demonstrates the importance of considering multiple factors before recommending a replacement solution. These include the existing lock model, mortise dimensions, backset, door thickness, existing cut-outs, and access management requirements. For this 64-room project in Morocco, the combination of UNITK Echo 100, 70mm ANSI mortise, and TTHotel allowed the property to retain its existing doors while moving toward a more modern access solution.

The project also underscores the practical approach to hotel lock retrofit. By carefully selecting the right lock and mortise, hotels can upgrade their electronic access systems without extensive modifications to their existing doors. This not only saves time and money but also ensures a seamless hospitality experience for guests.

For hotels planning to replace existing electronic hotel locks, UNITK can help evaluate the existing door configuration and recommend a suitable hotel lock retrofit solution.
