KAS Platinum Lock-S Hotel Lock
The KAS Platinum Lock-S is an electronic accommodation lock designed for software-managed sites that require credential issue, timed access periods and local key management without depending on live internet access for routine card creation.
This version is centred on the Lock-S platform, which uses PC software for in-house key management. It is suited to hotels, serviced apartments, gyms and similar properties that need structured access with master, staff and guest key hierarchy, scheduled free passage and lock entry records.
The Platinum platform supports RFID, Bluetooth / MobileAccess and Sub-1 GHz wireless connectivity. It uses 3 x AA batteries, provides mechanical key override, and is supplied as a handed lock, so left and right handle versions must be selected correctly.
PC software for in-house key management. KAS states that internet access is not required for access cards and FOB keys in normal Lock-S operation.
This product is supplied as lock hardware only. Tubular latch or compatible mortice latch selection is separate and must be matched to the door preparation and application.
Designed for hotels, apartments and managed accommodation environments where credential control and regular guest turnover are part of normal operation.

Understanding the KAS Platinum Platform
Lock-S Platinum
PC software, in-house key management
Suited to hotels, apartments and managed sites that want locally issued credentials, staff and guest key structure, scheduled access periods and software-managed operation without relying on live internet for normal card creation.
KASAccess Platinum
Cloud and gateway capable deployment
Suited to projects requiring broader remote-management capability, connected system architecture and cloud-based administration. This is the better fit where site-wide control and connected workflow are part of the brief.
SAL-Platinum
Standalone card-managed lock
Designed for simpler apartment or local access control use where no software setup is required. Management is card-based and the credential structure is much simpler than Lock-S or KASAccess deployments.
The same Platinum hardware family can sit inside very different management systems. For custom quotes, project specification or help choosing between Lock-S, KASAccess and SAL-Platinum, contact us before ordering.
Fire Certification Overview
KAS Platinum should not be treated as universally fire compliant in every installation. Fire performance is based on the complete tested doorset and hardware combination, including the door system, latch or mortice lock type, backset, leaf format and the specific assessment report relied upon.
The assessment documents below show that Platinum has been tested on selected E-Core, Firecore and Pyropanel doorsets, but the fire outcome varies depending on whether the lock is fitted with a tubular latch or mortice lock.
Important: Always confirm the exact lock, latch, door system and current report status before specifying Platinum for fire door work.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Does Platinum Lock-S require internet access to issue guest cards?
No. KAS states that Lock-S uses PC software for in-house key management and internet access is not required for access cards and FOB keys. - Is this a keypad lock?
No. The Platinum Lock-S product is positioned around RFID credentials and software-managed access rather than local PIN operation. - Are latches included?
No. KAS states that latches are not included and must be selected separately. - Can the handle be reversed onsite?
No. Platinum is supplied as handed hardware, so the correct left or right version must be selected. - What happens if the batteries go flat?
The battery case is accessible from outside of the room, and the lock also includes mechanical key override.
Additional Information
- System Positioning:
Platinum Lock-S is the stronger fit for accommodation sites wanting structured local software management rather than a simple standalone lock. - Handing Matters:
This lock is not onsite reversible, so left and right handle versions must be selected correctly before ordering. - Battery Access:
External battery access is a practical advantage in accommodation work because flat batteries do not require room-side disassembly. - Door Preparation:
Platinum supports tubular latch and mortice latch preparations, but the drilling and latch choice must match the exact application. - Maintenance:
KAS instructs that latches should be lubricated with PTFE-based dry lubricant and checked every 6 months. - Tubular Latch Care:
KAS warns that debris must be cleaned out after tubular latch installation or the latch may be damaged and warranty affected. - Fire Door Work:
Do not assume general fire suitability. Match the latch type, doorset and certificate pathway before supply or install.
