The igloohome Smart Key Lockbox has been designed as a more versatile option in comparison to the traditional key box to enable more intuitive access as required for users. The box features a design that works entirely offline and doesn't require any installation or hassles to get it up and running.

Users of the key box can utilize the accompanying smartphone app to create and control access to the lockbox with unique PIN codes and even Bluetooth keys. This makes it ideal for Airbnb rentals and dwellings where owners want to enable better access without having to deal with handing off physical keys over and over.

The igloohome Smart Key Lockbox also works well for real estate agents and also lets you offer instant access to your home if you aren't around to open the door.
