Managing access should be simple. Yet for many businesses, it quickly becomes complex. Keys get copied. Permissions change. Temporary access becomes permanent. And as soon as you add more doors or locations, control slips away.

With Bold Pro, Bold introduces a new standard for professional access management. One solution that combines a secure smart lock with an access control system, designed specifically for businesses of any size and type.

In this article, we explain what Bold Pro is, how it works in practice, and why it is now the leading solution for using Bold in a professional environment.

Bold Pro is a smart lock that lets you enter without keys, using your phone. Walk up to the door, turn the knob, and step inside. Access can be granted or removed digitally, so there is no need to hand out keys or worry about copies. At the same time, Bold Pro is built with an SKG*** certified cylinder, the highest security grade, ensuring protection against forced entry.

Durable and solid steel
The lock is made from high-quality stainless steel, giving it a robust and lasting build that’s designed to stand the test of time. All electronics are securely located on the inside side of the door.

8-year battery life
Up to 8 years of battery life with Battery saver. Designed for reliable, low-maintenance operation.

5-minute installation with no wiring
Most of our customers tell us they install Bold in just 5 minutes with only a screwdriver. A fast, effortless start for business of any size.

Silent in use
Bold operates quietly. Its non-motorised design makes turning the knob silent, ensuring a calm and professional entry even in busy environments.

That secure foundation is combined with smart access management designed for daily business life. With Bold Pro, you decide who can enter, which door they can use, and when access is allowed. Permissions can be set per role, per team, or per location, and adjusted in seconds when something changes. Everything is managed digitally, so access fits around real schedules instead of fixed keys.

Apart from the app, you can manage everything even more easily through the web portal, which is designed for large scale access management from your desktop. It gives you a clear overview of all your doors, users, and activity in one place, which is especially useful when you work with larger teams or multiple locations. To help you get started smoothly, Bold Pro also includes onboarding videos, information leaflets, and stickers for your door that make it clear to staff and visitors how access with Bold Pro works.

In the portal, you can organise both users and devices into groups, so access stays structured instead of becoming complicated. For example, you can group doors by location, such as front entrance, storage, or office areas. Users can be grouped by role, such as staff, management, or external partners. Access rules are then applied to groups rather than individual doors or people, which saves time and reduces mistakes. For businesses that want to connect access management to their existing systems, Bold Pro also offers API access, making it possible to build integrations that fit your workflows. These integrations can include syncing door access with your HR system based on roles and work schedules, or opening third party door systems beyond Bold locks.

This way of working makes it easy to adjust access when things change. A new employee joins, a supplier needs temporary access, or a location expands. You update the group once, and the right access applies everywhere it should. For business owners and operators, this means less manual work and a clear, reliable setup that stays manageable as the business grows.

The Bold Pro lock is priced at €239 excluding VAT. Once installed, Bold Pro gives you access to professional access management through a single subscription that covers all your locks.

Bold Pro uses a subscription model where the cost per lock drops as you add more locks.  As a first time customer, you receive the first two months of subscription for free, giving your business the flexibility to test Bold Pro without commitment. Bold is confident the system will improve daily access management, which is why there is no onboarding fee. If the service does not feel right for your organisation, you can cancel the subscription at any time.

The subscription price depends on the number of locks you manage:

• 0 to 5 locks: €19,00 per month
• 6 to 10 locks: €4,00 per lock per month
• 11 to 20 locks: €3,50 per lock per month
• 20 to 30 locks: €3,00 per lock per month
• More than 30 locks: €2,50 per lock per month

All locks are managed under one subscription, so administration stays simple even as you add more doors or locations. The subscription can be cancelled at any time. If you do, your locks continue to work, but access to portal features such as user management, scheduling, and insights will no longer be available.

Bold Pro is designed for businesses of all sizes that want professional access control without unnecessary complexity. It works just as well for a small office or local business as it does for larger organisations with multiple doors or locations.

Restaurants & bars
Restaurants and bars like Wakuli coffee bars in the Netherlands use Bold Pro to keep access aligned with the rhythm of the day. More than 160 team members and delivery crews have access to the specific bar where they work or deliver, with access only when allowed. Team members have access during their work days and shift times, while delivery crews can enter only during scheduled delivery moments. This keeps everything organised and removes the need to hand out or track physical keys.

Vacation rentals
Vacation rental owners like Vakantiepark de Bosgraaf in the Netherlands use Bold Pro across more than 150 holiday houses, removing the need for traditional key management. Guests receive digital access through the app that starts at check in and ends automatically at check out. Cleaners and maintenance staff receive access only when needed, reducing coordination and improving security between stays.

Property management
Property managers like Co-office in Amsterdam use Bold Pro across more than 200 offices, supporting over 1500 users who change frequently. With the portal, new tenants can be added to user groups that match their employer’s offices, giving them instant access to the correct locks without managing physical keys. Service partners and inspectors can also be assigned temporary or location based access, while property managers keep full oversight across all buildings with only a few clicks.

Sport clubs
Sport clubs like Larsheim Tennis and Padel in the Netherlands use Bold Pro to control access to clubhouses, changing rooms and equipment storage. Members, trainers and staff receive access based on schedules or roles, and the portal gives the club clear insight into who entered which room and when. This makes it easy to see, for example, who last accessed the equipment room if something goes missing, while keeping all facilities secure and only accessible at the right times.

Healthcare
Healthcare organisations like Medic Assistance Business Health in Germany use Bold Pro to control access to 11 treatment rooms and offices. With a team of around 20 employees, staff access is role based and time bound, helping maintain security and compliance while keeping daily operations smooth. This level of controlled access supports healthcare compliance requirements, since it helps protect medical equipment and confidential patient information.

Bold Pro is already used in multiple countries across a wide range of industries, each with its own access needs and daily routines. And even beyond the examples above, Bold Pro can be adapted to many different professional use cases. The system is flexible by design, allowing access rules, roles, and setups to be shaped around how your organisation works.

If you already use a Bold smart lock in your business, you can move to Bold Pro without replacing hardware. Your existing lock continues to work as you are used to, while professional access management becomes available. When expanding your setup, choosing Bold Pro ensures every new door is ready for professional use from day one. New Bold Pro locks are ready from the start and work seamlessly alongside upgraded locks, keeping the experience consistent across all your doors.

To keep everything under one subscription, all Bold Pro locks should be purchased using the same email address. This ensures that doors, users, and locations are managed together in one place.

Bold Pro brings together secure entry and professional access management in one clear setup. It replaces keys with digital access, gives you insight into who enters and when, and keeps control simple as your business grows.

Whether you are setting up your first smart lock or looking to professionalise an existing Bold setup, Bold Pro is the most complete way to manage access. It is designed to be easy to start with, structured enough for daily operations, and flexible enough to grow alongside your business.
