About this Manual
This manual is a guide to help you understand the Onity system, including locks,
software, and peripherals. The system is very flexible and can utilize traditional
magnetic stripe cards as well as the latest in smart card technology.
There are many smart and proximity cards available today. Onity has selected
several cards with features that most benefit the hospitality industry. These cards are
detailed later in this manual and are available from Onity.
Throughout this manual, the term 'smart card' will refer to any contact type memory
cards or microprocessor cards, ‘proximity card’ will refer to contactless type
memory or microprocessor cards and RFID will refer to Mifare cards. Though there
are many technical differences between the types of available cards, the Onity
system handles the differences transparently to the user. In cases where the
differences are notable, detailed explanations will point out the differences.
A Word about Maintenance
Your Onity locking system is an important part of an overall security system for your
guest’s safety.
The Onity lock will provide years of service when properly maintained. However,
the lock is a single element of a door system that must also be maintained. Onity can
provide you with full services for the door lock, but it is the properties’ responsibility
to maintain the door and its associated hardware. The lock will not work as
effectively if the door itself is not professionally maintained.
According to Facilitiesnet.com typical failures with doors are: hinges, closers, door
misalignment, and weather stripping. For example, doors can become misaligned
due to the shifting or settling of the walls. Also, they can become misaligned as the
result of the damage to the door frame from luggage carts or maid carts.
Onity recommends that you contract with a professional door maintenance company
and set up a preventive maintenance program for doors and associated hardware.
Note: Onity’s warranty does not cover issues caused by warped doors, misalignment,
dragging edges, or dragging weather stripping, closer issues or sagging / out of
square frames.
