How to Unlock Doors Using SaltoKS Mobile Access

Introduction

The Salto KS Mobile Access app enables your device to unlock doors via Bluetooth. In a sense, your phone transmits the digital counterpart of a Tag.

Prerequisites

  • Your device’s Location should be enabled.

  • Your device’s Bluetooth should be enabled.

How it Works

When you log in to the mobile app, you will see a small lock icon at the bottom of the home page.

Step 1: Authentication

Hitting the Key button for the first time would allow you to authenticate your account and download the digital counterpart of your Salto KS tag:

    • First, you will be asked to give the app permissions to access your device's Location and Bluetooth

    • Next, the app will try to authenticate your account, which might take a few seconds. 

    • When the authentication completes, the digital counterpart of your tag will be downloaded in the mobile app. This means you can now unlock any nearby door.

Step 2: Unlock locks as you go

Hit the Lock button every time you're near a Salto KS lock to unlock the door. Keep a close eye on the lock, which would indicate whether the operation is successful:

  • If the lock lights up in red, that indicates the door cannot be unlocked. This will usually happen if you don't have access to the door. 

  • If the lock lights up in green, then the door is unlocked successfully.
