Property managers know that no two portfolios are alike—and neither are their operational needs. Whether you oversee single-family rentals, multifamily communities, or a mix of both, Smart Bolt Elite, Rently’s next-generation smart lock gives you the freedom to manage unit access your way: fully online, completely offline, or a seamless blend of the two.
This new, innovative smart lock combines Rently’s expertise in leasing automation, patented self-guided touring, and smart home technology with Kwikset® SmartKey Security® advanced re-key technology solution, delivering a versatile, all-in-one smart lock designed to meet the evolving needs of rental operators.
Traditional access solutions in the rental industry have long been fragmented, forcing operators to choose between Bluetooth-only locks, Wi-Fi/cellular centralized hub solutions or non-smart access options—each with trade-offs in security, convenience and affordability. The Smart Bolt Elite eliminates this compromise, combining the best features of all three into a single, seamless solution.
Unlike traditional locks that lock you into one system, Smart Bolt Elite adapts to your environment, your workflow, and your technology setup—all while delivering the highest levels of security, reliability, and ease of use. And now, with its latest enhancements, it’s smarter, stronger, and more secure than ever before.

Built for Real World Use
The Rently Smart Bolt Elite is designed for dependable and long-lasting performance. With two versions of the lock available, Flex and Max, property owners can get 12 to 24 months of battery life on either four or eight AA batteries. In the event of a completely drained battery, a convenient jump-start feature ensures that you won’t be locked out. Furthermore, the lock is built to withstand extreme weather, making it reliable in both very hot and very cold environments.
A Smarter Experience for Residents
The Smart Bolt Elite is designed with both property managers and residents in mind, making it easy to use for everyone. Residents can use the Rently Smart Home app to accept invitations and set up their access. Once moved in, they can create a unique personal code and unlock the door using a variety of methods: the app, a traditional key, their personal code, or a fob. The lock also allows residents to generate temporary codes for guests, ensuring secure access for visitors.
Fast, Simple Installation
The Smart Bolt Elite offers a fast and simple installation process. Its self-handing design allows it to fit on standard doors ranging from 1 3/8″ to 2″ thick. You won’t need an electrician or any special tools, as everything required for installation is included in the box. Installers can also use Rently’s Installer Workflow which walks them through the entire installation process step-by-step.
Scalable Management Across Portfolios
With Rently’s Smart Home Portal, managing multiple properties is simple and scalable. You can control all your Smart Bolt Elite locks from a single dashboard, making it easy to track access history for auditing and security. From the portal, you can effortlessly assign and manage devices. When you’re ready to set up units for self-guided tours, you can enable or disable self-showings with just a single toggle.
The Bottom Line
Smart Bolt Elite is built for easy scalability. You can start with a smart lock, then grow into a smart home. Rently Smart Bolt Elite uses bluetooth for immediate keyless functionality, and Z-Wave when you require fully remote control via Smart Home hub. SmartBolt Elite is the smart lock that grows with your needs—starting small or scaling across hundreds of units, online or offline. Whether you’re running a hubless operation or a fully connected smart home ecosystem, Smart Bolt Elite adapts without compromise.
Smart Bolt Elite is designed for modern rentals: access by key, fob, app, or code—so it works for every resident and every staff member. And with Bluetooth and Z-Wave built in, it’s reliable whether you’re standing at the door or managing a community from miles away!
