KAS Platinum Lock - Access (No Pin)
The KAS Platinum Lock - Access (No Pin) is a battery-powered electronic accommodation lock designed for software-managed sites requiring RFID credential issue, timed access periods, and local key management without depending on live internet access for routine card creation. Unlike the KAS NEO platform, this product has no PIN keypad — entry is by RFID card/fob or Bluetooth mobile credential only.
This listing is built around the Lock-S platform, using PC software for in-house key management. It suits 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. See Choosing a Smart Lock Platform and Which Smart Lock Platform — Commercial for context on how Lock-S compares to cloud and standalone alternatives.
The Platinum uses 3 x AA batteries with the battery case accessible from outside the room — a practical advantage for accommodation operators. The lock includes a mechanical key override and is supplied as handed hardware: left and right handle versions are variants on this listing and must be selected before ordering.
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. Credentials, schedules, and audit records are managed locally through Lock-S software installed on a site PC.
This product is supplied as lock hardware only. A tubular latch or compatible mortice latch must be selected separately and matched to the door preparation and application. Compatible options include the KAS Tubular Latch 60mm, KAS Tubular Latch 70mm, KAS Tubular Latch 127mm, and KAS Mortice Latch ML-S.
The Platinum is not onsite reversible. Left-handed (HPL301) and right-handed (HPR301) versions are variants on this listing and must be selected correctly before ordering. See How to Determine Your Door Handing if unsure.
Designed for hotels, apartments, and managed accommodation environments where credential control and regular guest turnover are part of normal operation. This is not a simple standalone keypad lock — Platinum Lock-S is built around structured key issue, local software control, and accommodation-style access management.

Understanding the KAS Platinum Platform
Lock-S Platinum (This Product)
PC software, in-house key management
Suited to hotels, apartments, and managed sites wanting 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. The better fit where site-wide control and connected workflow are part of the brief. See Other Gateway Systems for how cloud-connected access control compares.
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.

Battery and Power
The Platinum operates on 3 x AA alkaline batteries (DC 4.5 V). A practical advantage for accommodation operators is that the battery case is accessible from outside the room — flat batteries can be replaced without entering the guest room or requiring a room-side disassembly. A low battery warning is issued before full depletion. The lock also includes a mechanical key override for emergency access if batteries are exhausted before replacement. See Mechanical Key Override on Smart Locks for guidance on emergency battery-flat lockout procedure. See How Long Do Digital Door Locks Last? — Cycle Ratings for context on battery life expectations.
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. See Fire Door Core Types — E-Core, Firecore, and Pyropanel for an explanation of what each certification covers.
The assessment documents show 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.

Always confirm the exact lock, latch, door system, and current report status before specifying Platinum for fire door work.

Frequently Asked Questions
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 in normal operation.
No. The Platinum Lock-S (No Pin) has no PIN keypad — entry is via RFID card/fob or Bluetooth mobile credential only. For a KAS NEO platform product with a keypad, see the KAS NEO Cloud Lock Lock-S Access (HOP310).
No. KAS states that latches are not included and must be selected separately. See the KAS Tubular Latch 60mm, KAS Tubular Latch 70mm, or KAS Mortice Latch ML-S.
No. Platinum is supplied as handed hardware and is not onsite reversible. Left (HPL301) and right (HPR301) handle versions are variants on this listing and must be selected correctly before ordering. See How to Determine Your Door Handing if unsure.
The battery case is accessible from outside the room, so batteries can be replaced without room entry. The lock also includes a mechanical key override for emergency access. See Mechanical Key Override on Smart Locks for guidance on flat-battery lockout procedure.
Additional Information
Platinum Lock-S is the stronger fit for accommodation sites wanting structured local software management rather than a simple standalone lock. For buyers weighing Lock-S against KASAccess (cloud) or SAL-Platinum (standalone card), see Choosing a Smart Lock Platform and Commercial and Institutional Smart Lock Brands for how the KAS Platinum sits in the wider commercial landscape.
This lock is not onsite reversible, so left and right handle versions must be selected correctly before ordering. A wrong handing selection will require the product to be returned. See How to Determine Your Door Handing before placing the order.
External battery access is a practical advantage in accommodation work because flat batteries can be replaced without requiring room-side disassembly or room entry. This reduces operational disruption during battery maintenance compared to locks where battery access is internal.
Platinum supports both tubular latch and mortice latch preparations, but the drilling and latch choice must match the exact application. KAS instructs that latches should be lubricated with PTFE-based dry lubricant and checked every 6 months. KAS also warns that debris must be cleaned out after tubular latch installation or the latch may be damaged and warranty affected. See Common Smart Lock Installation Mistakes before installing, and consider Terry's Site Survey and Installation Service for complex fire door or multi-lock accommodation projects.
Do not assume general fire suitability. Match the latch type, doorset, and certificate pathway before supply or install. The fire outcome for tubular latch and mortice configurations are different on some doorsets — see the fire certification table above. See Fire Door Core Types Guide and Smart Lock Installation Mistakes before committing to a configuration.
See How Long Do Digital Door Locks Last? — Installation Quality and The Realities of Electronic Door Locks for honest context on longevity before committing to this platform for a large accommodation project.
