The Igloohome Deadbolt Go is a Bluetooth fingerprint smart deadbolt designed for residential timber entry doors. It can be installed as a retrofit over an existing deadbolt preparation or as a new installation, and supports both 60mm and 70mm backsets. The lock auto-calibrates for left or right hand door installations during setup. It is available in Satin Nickel and Matte Black.
The Deadbolt Go is built around igloohome's algoPIN™ technology — the offline access system that has made igloohome a popular smart lock brand for Airbnb hosting in Australia. When a guest makes a booking, you generate a unique, time-limited PIN code in the igloohome app and send it by text, email, or directly through Airbnb. The lock validates that code on its own processor at check-in time, so no internet connection at the property is required and the code stops working automatically at checkout. There is no key handover, no rekeying between stays, and no risk of a guest being locked out because the property's Wi-Fi went down. The lock integrates with Airbnb and with property management platforms via the iglooconnect marketplace, so for hosts who automate through tools like Hospitable, Uplisting, or RemoteLock, code generation and delivery is handled without manual steps. The Deadbolt Go supports up to 250 active PIN codes and stores up to 20 fingerprints for keyless owner access. You can read more about how this works in our guide to algoPIN and offline access (Chapter 07).
The lock is powered by 4 x AA batteries (not included) and includes an emergency USB-C jumpstart port for access when batteries are depleted. A pre-installed CR2032 coin cell powers the on-board time clock independently for a minimum of 5 years. The Deadbolt Go is rated IP54 and tested to ANSI/BHMA A156.40 BB durability and finish criteria. igloohome advises installation in sheltered locations — the lock is not designed for exposure to direct rain or sustained wet weather.

Built for Airbnb & Short-Stay Hosting
The Deadbolt Go integrates with Airbnb via the igloohome app. Guest PIN codes are generated at booking confirmation and delivered without any manual steps — guests do not need to download an app. PIN codes are sent between 1 and 48 hours before check-in (configurable), and each code expires at checkout automatically. The lock validates codes entirely offline, so a Wi-Fi outage at the property never affects guest entry. Hosts managing multiple properties or using platforms like Hospitable, Uplisting, or RemoteLock can connect through the iglooconnect marketplace for automated access workflows. See our comparison of igloohome versus TTLock for Airbnb, or our guide to how Airbnb Connect works (Chapter 07) and using igloohome for Airbnb in Australia.

- A CR2032 coin cell is pre-installed to power the on-board time clock for a minimum of 5 years. This battery operates independently from the AA batteries and does not need to be purchased separately.
- Low battery alert provided via audio and LED indicators (3 fast descending tones when the keypad is woken up) before the AA batteries are fully depleted.
- USB-C emergency jumpstart port allows the lock to be temporarily powered from a phone or power bank when the AA batteries are flat — providing enough power to unlock the door while replacement batteries are obtained.
- Mechanical key override provides physical backup access at all times using the 4 provided owner keys. See what to do when a smart lock battery dies.
Remote Access & Wi-Fi (Optional — Wi-Fi Bridge Required)
The Deadbolt Go does not connect directly to Wi-Fi. Without the optional igloohome Wi-Fi Bridge (EB1) (sold separately), the lock operates entirely as a standalone unit via fingerprint, PIN, Bluetooth, and mechanical key. algoPIN™ code generation and validation works offline — Wi-Fi is not required at the property to issue or accept PIN codes. Local access methods remain unaffected even when the internet is down; see what happens when the internet goes down (Chapter 08).
Adding the Wi-Fi Bridge (EB1) connects the lock to your property's 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network and enables remote unlock from anywhere via the igloohome app, real-time access notifications, on-demand activity log retrieval, and Alexa voice control integration. The bridge supports 2.4GHz Wi-Fi only, so the network must present a 2.4GHz band during setup — see FAQ Ch 13 — Wi-Fi drops, the band-steering note (Chapter 08), and how the igloohome Bridge compares to other gateways.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Deadbolt Go work with Airbnb?
The igloohome app connects to Airbnb via Airbnb Connect. Once linked, the app generates a unique PIN code for each new booking and delivers it to the guest — PIN codes are sent between 1 and 48 hours before check-in (you can configure the window). The code is valid for the duration of the stay and stops working at checkout time. Because igloohome's algoPIN™ technology validates codes on the lock itself, the system works regardless of whether the property has a working internet connection at the time of check-in. Guests do not need to download any app to receive or use their code. For hosts using property management software, the iglooconnect marketplace integrates with platforms including Hospitable, Uplisting, RemoteLock, Hosthub, SabeeApp, and Cloudbeds. See our guide to using igloohome for Airbnb in Australia, or Chapter 07 — Smart Locks for Airbnb & Short-Stay Rentals.

See our guide to using igloohome for Airbnb in Australia, or Chapter 07 — Smart Locks for Airbnb & Short-Stay Rentals.
Does the lock need Wi-Fi at the property to work?
No. The lock operates entirely offline — fingerprint, PIN, Bluetooth, and mechanical key access all function without any internet connection at the property. This is what makes igloohome particularly suited to short-stay properties: a guest's PIN code will work at check-in even if the NBN is down, the router has rebooted, or the property has no Wi-Fi at all. Wi-Fi is only required if you add the optional Wi-Fi Bridge (EB1) for remote unlock and real-time notifications. See our explanation of igloohome for Airbnb without Wi-Fi.

Will this lock fit my door?
The Deadbolt Go suits timber swing doors between 35mm and 45mm thick with a 60mm or 70mm backset. For a retrofit installation, the existing deadbolt is removed and the hole preparation must match one of these backsets. For a new installation, a drill template is included — the face bore is 54mm (2-1/8") and the edge bore is 25.4mm (1"). The lock auto-calibrates for left or right hand door handing — see understanding door handing in Australia if you are unsure. If you are unsure of your door's backset, see Chapter 02 — Measuring Your Door before ordering. The lock is not suitable for aluminium, glass, or fire-rated door assemblies.

What happens if the batteries go flat between guest stays?
The lock gives audio and LED low battery warnings (3 fast descending tones when the keypad wakes up) well before the AA batteries are fully depleted — giving you time to organise a battery change before the next guest arrives. If the batteries do go flat, the lock can be temporarily powered via a phone or power bank connected to the USB-C jumpstart port, providing enough power to unlock the door. The 4 provided mechanical keys also allow physical access at any time. For a short-stay property, checking the battery indicator in the app after each checkout is a sensible part of the turnaround routine.

Can I use the Deadbolt Go across multiple short-stay properties?
Yes. The igloohome app manages multiple locks from a single account, each with their own independent access code pools. You can view access logs, generate codes, and manage all properties from the same interface. For larger portfolios, the iglooconnect marketplace connects to property management platforms that handle code generation and guest communication automatically across all properties. See our guide on which Airbnb smart lock setup is right for you.

Additional Information
IP54 Rating and Installation Location:
IP54 confirms the lock has been tested for protection against dust ingress and water spray from any direction. However, igloohome advises the Deadbolt Go be installed in sheltered locations and not exposed to direct rain, sustained wet weather, or coastal salt spray — continuous exposure to wet weather may reduce product lifespan. For coastal environment considerations, see smart lock performance in coastal conditions. For what IP ratings mean in practice, see Chapter 11 — Australian Standards & IP Ratings.

For coastal environment considerations, see smart lock performance in coastal conditions. For what IP ratings mean in practice, see Chapter 11 — Australian Standards & IP Ratings.
Decoy PIN Code:
The Deadbolt Go supports a Decoy PIN Code feature, which allows random digits to be entered before the actual PIN code. The lock ignores the additional digits and processes only the correct sequence within the string. This prevents observers from identifying the real code by watching a user enter it or by inspecting wear patterns on the keypad.

This prevents observers from identifying the real code by watching a user enter it or by inspecting wear patterns on the keypad.
Wood Door Movement and Maintenance:
Timber doors expand and contract with changes in temperature and humidity, particularly in Queensland conditions. The deadbolt must not be under pre-load from weather seals or door warpage at the time of installation. Check the deadbolt operation periodically with the door open and closed to confirm the bolt extends and retracts smoothly. If resistance develops after installation, adjust the strike plate position before it causes wear on the mechanism. See our guide on common smart lock installation mistakes.

ANSI/BHMA A156.40 BB — What It Means:
ANSI/BHMA A156.40 is the American National Standard for residential and light commercial Bluetooth-enabled access devices. igloohome states the Deadbolt Go has passed durability and finish testing to the BB grade criteria with a third-party laboratory. This is a performance and durability benchmark for Bluetooth smart locks; it is not an Australian Standards compliance mark and does not indicate fire door or accessibility certification. The Deadbolt Go does not hold AS1905.1 (fire door hardware) certification and is not suitable for installation on fire-rated door assemblies.

igloohome App Platform:
The Deadbolt Go runs on igloohome's own app platform, built around offline algoPIN™ access rather than a constant cloud connection. This is a different approach to TTLock-based locks, which depend on a gateway for remote features. For a side-by-side comparison of igloohome against other smart lock platforms, see Chapter 15 — Smart Lock App Platforms and the igloohome brand profile (Chapter 10), or our blog on which app platform is right for you.

Airbnb & Short-Stay Hosting
How does the Deadbolt Go connect to Airbnb?
Via Airbnb Connect in the igloohome app. Under Account Settings, select Connect with Airbnb and follow the prompts. You then assign your Airbnb listing to a lock and set check-in and check-out times. From that point, guest PIN codes are automatically generated and emailed to guests between 1 and 48 hours before check-in — you can configure when in that window. Codes are valid only between check-in and check-out times. Changing check-in/check-out times after the access email has been sent only affects the next reservation, not the current one. The igloohome app does not update your Airbnb listing's times when you change them in the app — those must be changed separately on Airbnb. Full procedure: see our Airbnb Connect Procedure PDF and Ch 07 — Airbnb Connect explained.

Do guests need to download an app to use their code?
No. Guests receive a numeric PIN code by email or text. They enter it on the keypad. No app, no Bluetooth, no phone required. The code is validated on the lock's own processor using algoPIN™ technology — it works offline. See how algoPIN works (Ch 07) and our blog using igloohome for Airbnb in Australia.

Access & Credentials
How many fingerprints can the lock store?
Up to 20 fingerprints. Fingerprints are registered and managed via the igloohome app within Bluetooth range. This method suits owners and permanent household members who want one-touch keyless entry without needing a phone or code. See all fingerprint smart locks.

What types of PIN codes can I create?
Time-limited (valid between two specified dates/times), one-time (expires after a single use), scheduled (valid on specific days and hours of the week), and permanent codes. The Decoy PIN feature lets you enter random digits before the real code — the lock ignores the extra digits and recognises only the valid sequence. See PIN code types explained (Ch 03).

How do Bluetooth Digital Keys (E-Keys) work?
As the lock owner, you use the igloohome app to unlock via Bluetooth when in range. You can also create E-Keys for guests or household members — each E-Key can be set as permanent, duration-based, or time-limited. There's no cap on how many E-Keys you can create. Apple Watch and Siri Shortcuts are also supported over Bluetooth (requires watchOS 7 or later). See Bluetooth access explained (Ch 03).

Locking, Security & Alarms
What do the different beeps and LED signals mean?
The lock uses audio tones and LED flashes to communicate status. Key indications: Bluetooth connection (unlock icon flashes blue); successfully unlocked (4 fast ascending tones); successfully locked (1 long beep); incorrect PIN (4 short beeps); deleted PIN (3 sets of 4 short beeps); obstruction alarm (6 sets of 4 short beeps); keypad disabled (very long beep); keypad reactivated (2 short beeps); security lockout alarm (low-high siren for 30, 60, or 90 seconds); lockout deactivated (2 long beeps); low battery (3 fast descending tones on wake); tamper alarm (continuous long beep); hard reset/unpair (4 slow descending tones).

What happens if someone tries to break in or pry the lock off?
The Tamper Alarm will sound a continuous beep if the lock body is being pried from the door. The Security Lockout feature disables the keypad after repeated incorrect access attempts. The Obstruction Alarm sounds if the bolt cannot extend or retract fully. These features are designed for residential security — the Deadbolt Go is tested to ANSI/BHMA A156.40 BB durability standards. See Australian smart lock standards (Ch 11).

Can I turn off or adjust the lock's beeping sounds?
Yes. Volume is adjustable via the igloohome app from level 0 (mute) to level 5 (loudest). This is useful for properties where quiet operation is preferred — a muted lock is silent for unlocking and locking events.

Remote Access & Wi-Fi Bridge
What does adding the Wi-Fi Bridge (EB1) give me?
The Wi-Fi Bridge (EB1) connects the lock to your 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network and adds: remote unlock from anywhere in the world via the igloohome app, real-time access notifications, on-demand activity log retrieval, and Alexa voice control. The Bridge supports 2.4GHz Wi-Fi only — band-steering routers must expose a 2.4GHz SSID during setup. Without the Bridge, the lock operates entirely offline. See how the igloohome Bridge compares to other gateways (Ch 08) and the band-steering note.

The Bridge supports 2.4GHz Wi-Fi only — band-steering routers must expose a 2.4GHz SSID during setup. Without the Bridge, the lock operates entirely offline. See how the igloohome Bridge compares to other gateways (Ch 08) and the band-steering note.
How do I check who entered the property and when?
Activity logs are stored in the lock and synced to the igloohome app whenever your phone is within Bluetooth range. With the Wi-Fi Bridge (EB1) connected, logs sync in real time and can be viewed remotely at any time. Each log entry records the credential used and the timestamp. See smart lock FAQ — remote access (Ch 13).

Power & Battery
How long do the batteries last and how do I know when they're running low?
Battery life is rated up to 12 months under normal use (4 x AA alkaline, not included). The lock gives advance warning: 3 fast descending tones sound each time the keypad is woken up when batteries are getting low, and the igloohome app displays the current battery level. Replace batteries before they are fully depleted — do not mix old and new batteries. See realistic battery life expectations.

What is the USB-C jumpstart port for?
If the AA batteries are completely flat, you can use a phone or power bank connected to the USB-C port on the exterior keypad body to temporarily power the lock. This gives enough charge to unlock the door once while you arrange replacement batteries. It is an emergency recovery method, not an ongoing power source. See what to do when a smart lock battery dies.

What is the CR2032 coin cell for — do I need to buy it separately?
The CR2032 is pre-installed in the lock and powers the on-board real-time clock for a minimum of 5 years. The clock is what makes algoPIN™ time-limited codes work correctly — without an accurate time reference, the lock cannot validate time-based PINs. You do not need to purchase or replace this battery separately under normal use.

Installation & Setup
Is installation really DIY, or do I need a locksmith?
The retrofit installation is genuinely DIY — you need only a Phillips screwdriver and 4 x AA batteries (not included). Remove the existing deadbolt, install the new latch assembly, assemble the keypad and thumbturn body, connect the cable, insert batteries, and long-press the unlock button for 3 seconds to auto-calibrate the door handing. For new installations on doors without an existing deadbolt preparation, you will need a drill, a 54mm (2-1/8") hole saw for the face bore, and a 25.4mm (1") hole saw for the edge bore — a drill template is included. See our guide on common smart lock installation mistakes.

How does auto-calibration for door handing work?
After installation, insert the batteries, keep the latch retracted (door open), and long-press the Unlock button on the keypad for 3 seconds. The lock automatically detects whether it is installed on a left-hand or right-hand door and adjusts internally. You do not need to set handing manually or configure anything in the app. See door handing explained (Ch 02).

What should I check once the lock is installed?
With the door open, rotate the thumbturn to confirm the deadbolt locks and unlocks smoothly. Check for any pre-load from weather seals or door warpage — the deadbolt must extend and retract freely with low resistance. Wood doors swell and contract with temperature and humidity changes, particularly in Queensland conditions. Re-check the lock periodically with the door both open and closed for any signs of binding. If resistance develops, adjust the strike plate position. See our guide on smart lock installation mistakes.

Suitability
Can the Deadbolt Go be used on a door exposed to rain?
Not recommended. IP54 means it is protected against dust and water spray from any direction, but igloohome explicitly advises the lock be installed in sheltered locations only. Sustained wet weather or direct rain exposure will reduce the lock's lifespan. If the entry door is not covered by a canopy or overhang, consider adding external weather protection before installing. For a fully weather-exposed location, consider a higher-rated product. See IP ratings explained (Ch 11).

Is this lock suitable for a fire door?
No. The Deadbolt Go does not hold AS1905.1 (Australian fire door hardware) certification and must not be installed on fire-rated door assemblies. If you need a smart lock for a fire door, see our fire door smart lock guide (Ch 05).

How is this different from the Igloohome Retrofit Lock?
The Retrofit Lock clips onto an existing euro cylinder thumbturn interior-side — no deadbolt removal, no exterior change, no drilling. It suits strata, heritage, or rental doors where exterior modifications are not permitted. The Deadbolt Go replaces the entire deadbolt and has a physical keypad on the exterior. It adds fingerprint biometrics, which the Retrofit Lock does not have. The Deadbolt Go suits 35–45mm timber doors with a 60 or 70mm deadbolt preparation; the Retrofit Lock suits euro cylinder doors. See our Retrofit Lock case study.

App, Platform & Ecosystem
How does the igloohome platform compare to TTLock?
Both serve the Airbnb and short-stay market, but they take different technical approaches. igloohome is built around offline algoPIN codes validated on the lock — no Wi-Fi needed at the property for guest entry. TTLock (used by McGrath and Lockton products) depends on a gateway for most remote features, though codes themselves can still work offline via OTP mode. igloohome integrates natively with Airbnb; TTLock integrates through third-party PMS platforms. For a detailed comparison, see igloohome vs TTLock (Ch 07), app platforms (Ch 15), and our blog Airbnb smart locks — do you need Wi-Fi?.

What other igloohome accessories work with this lock?
The Wi-Fi Bridge (EB1) adds remote unlock and Alexa. The Keypad (EK1) can be used as a secondary PIN entry point — though compatibility with the Deadbolt Go is listed as pending confirmation; contact us before ordering the Keypad as an add-on for this lock. The Keybox 3 works alongside the Deadbolt Go for key handover at properties where a physical key is also needed. The Modules & Gateways category has the full accessory range.
