System and method for transmitting unlock codes based on event triggers

A system for retrieving an unlock code for a physical lock, wherein the physical lock is not capable of electronic communication, the system comprising:

• a processor and a database storing instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
• associate a lock identifier with a location and an unlock code;
• receive the lock identifier via a network;
• determine that a customer account associated with the location has a past due balance;
• determining after an interval whether the customer account no longer has a balance due;
• and
• upon the customer account no longer having a past due balance, transmit the unlock code to the customer via an electronic method.

A system, comprising:

• a lock not capable of electronic communication, wherein the lock comprises a first component having a shackle, and a second component configured to engage a locking mechanism;
• a lock management system storing a lock identifier associated with the lock and an unlock code associated with the lock identifier;
• and
• a property management system configured to receive the unlock code from the lock management system,
• wherein the lock is configured to be secured to a hasp of a door without requiring input of the unlock code, and wherein the lock requires input of the unlock code after engagement of the locking mechanism upon manipulation of the second component.

A method for retrieving an unlock code, comprising:

• securing a location with a lock, wherein the lock is not capable of electronic communication;
• mapping the location with a lock identifier in a lock management system, where the lock identifier is further associated with an unlock code;
• transmitting the unlock code to an access management system from the lock management system;
• and
• transmitting the unlock code to a user via an electronic method from the access management system,
• wherein the lock management system and the access management system are two separate and distinct systems.

A method for retrieving an unlock code, the method comprising:

• mapping a location with a lock identifier in a lock management system, where the lock identifier is associated with an unlock code for a lock, wherein the lock is not capable of electronic communication;
• transmitting the unlock code to a property management system from the lock management system;
• and
• upon rental of the location, transmitting the unlock code to a customer via an electronic method from the property management system,
• wherein the lock management system and the property management system are two separate and distinct systems.

A method for retrieving an unlock code, the method comprising:

• mapping a location with a lock identifier in a lock management system, where the lock identifier is associated with an unlock code for a lock, wherein the lock is not capable of electronic communication;
• transmitting the unlock code to a property management system from the lock management system;
• and
• upon rental of the location, transmitting the unlock code to a customer via an electronic method from the lock management system,
• wherein the lock management system and the property management system are two separate and distinct systems.

A method for retrieving an unlock code, comprising:

• mapping a location with a lock identifier in a lock management system, where the lock identifier is associated with an unlock code for a lock, wherein the lock is not capable of electronic communication;
• receiving, by a lock management system portal, a customer credential;
• transmitting the customer credential from the lock management system to a property management system;
• determining by the property management system if the customer credential is associated with a customer who is a verified renter of the location;
• determining by the property management system if the customer does not have a delinquent account;
• and
• upon the customer credential being associated with a verified renter and the customer not having a delinquent account, transmitting the unlock code to the customer via an electronic method.

A method, comprising:

• establishing a customer account for a customer, wherein the customer account is paid in full and is in good standing;
• associating an unlock code with a lock in a database, wherein the lock is not capable of electronic communication;
• associating the customer account with the unlock code;
• at a time after the customer account is paid in full and is in good standing, receiving a request for the unlock code over a network;
• determining whether the customer account associated with the unlock code has a balance due;
• upon the customer account having a balance due, determining after an interval whether the customer account no longer has a balance due;
• and
• upon the customer account no longer having a balance due, transmitting the unlock code over the network in response to the request.

A method for retrieving an unlock code for a lock, wherein the lock is not capable of electronic communication, comprising:

• associating a credential with a customer account for a customer, wherein the customer account is paid in full and is in good standing;
• determining whether the customer account has a balance due;
• upon the customer account having a balance due, determining after an interval whether the customer account no longer has a balance due;
• receiving, by a lock management system portal, a request for an unlock code and the credential associated with the customer account;
• determining whether the credential is valid;
• and
• upon the customer account no longer having a balance due and the credential being valid, transmitting the unlock code over a network in response to the request.
