RINGO is a solution that digitizes your door. This means that you can unlock it via your mobile phone remotely. For example, you can simply unlock the door remotely for your guests, cleaners, removal services… or allow them to enter themselves only for a limited time by sharing a digital key with them. Guests do NOT NEED an APP to open doors. RINGO allows you to unlock several doors, which opens the DOORS OF THE APARTMENT and at the same time unlocks the DOORS OF THE BUILDING (multi-apartment building).

Ringo is installed by a Ringo expert who will make sure that everything works properly. After purchasing Ringo you will be contacted by the Ringo team with whom you will agree on the installation date. Lead time is currently around 5 working days and the installation itself lasts approximately 45 minutes (depending on the door type).

Ringo is suitable for all types of doors because it works independently of the door and the lock. All doors are made according to certain standards and if your door meets international standards, then Ringo is suitable for your door. In case of any deviations of your door from the standard, we recommend that you consult the Ringo team before purchase: info@ringolock.com
