We built this because
we lived the problem

The problem we couldn't ignore

We started with a handful of Airbnb properties. The first one was easy — hand over the key, meet the guest, explain the lock. But by the time we had five properties with multiple rooms each, the system broke down.

We were texting PINs at midnight. Changing lockbox codes between back-to-back bookings. Forgetting which guest had which code. Getting messages from guests who'd arrived at a door with the wrong number. One evening, we had three check-ins happening at the same time across different properties. That was the breaking point.

So we built the tool we needed

We looked at what existed. Some tools were too expensive. Some only worked with one lock brand. Most still required you to manually generate and send codes. None of them solved the full loop: calendar syncs, PIN generates, PIN pushes to lock, guest gets it automatically.

So we built LockGo. It started as a script running on a laptop. Then it became a proper backend. Then a portal. Then we added support for multiple lock providers, communal locks, lock groups, and a guest check-in portal where guests verify their booking and receive a one-time PIN by email or SMS — you never need to see or touch a code yourself.

Every feature in LockGo exists because we needed it ourselves. Multi-room properties with shared building entrances. Battery monitoring so we'd stop getting surprised by dead locks. One-click PIN reset for when a guest overstayed. iCal sync so we never missed a booking.

Now we're opening it up

LockGo is in beta, and we're inviting the first 500 hosts to use it completely free for at least a year. No credit card, no commitment, no catch. We want hosts who live this problem every day to try it, break it, and tell us what's missing.

We're not a venture-backed startup chasing growth metrics. We're hosts who built a tool that works and want to share it with other hosts who need it. If that sounds like you, we'd love to have you on board.
