What is the Bold Entry Tag?
Discover what the Bold Entry Tag is, how it works with Bold all Bold locks, and how it helps users activate the right door faster with a simple NFC tap.
The Bold Entry Tag is an NFC access tag designed specifically for Pro users who want a faster way to enter a building or room with a Bold smart lock. The Bold Entry Tag works with all Bold smart locks and gives users a faster and more direct way to activate the right door with their smartphone.
Instead of opening the Bold app and searching for the correct lock, users simply hold their phone near the Entry Tag, tap the notification, and activate the door. This makes everyday access smoother, especially in offices, shared buildings, workspaces, and other environments with multiple doors.
In short
The Bold Entry Tag is a simple tap-to-enter solution for Bold smart locks. It helps users open the correct door faster, without changing how access rights are managed.
How does the Bold Entry Tag work?
The Bold Entry Tag uses NFC, which stands for Near Field Communication. NFC is a secure wireless technology that works at very close range.
Each Entry Tag is placed next to a door and linked to one specific Bold smart lock, such as a Bold Pro, Bold Elite, or Bold Classic. When an authorised user holds their smartphone near the tag, a notification appears on the phone. After tapping the notification, the correct lock is activated.
The user still needs valid access rights. The Entry Tag does not replace the Bold app or your access management settings. It simply makes the moment of entry faster and more intuitive.
Why use the Bold Entry Tag?
In buildings with several Bold locks, users sometimes need to select the right door in the app. The Entry Tag removes that extra step.
This is especially useful in:
-
Offices with multiple entrances
-
Shared buildings
-
Meeting rooms
-
Storage rooms
-
Staff areas
-
Business locations with frequent access
With one tap, users activate the right door immediately. That saves time and helps create a smoother access experience throughout the day.
Does the Bold Entry Tag replace the Bold app?
No. The Bold Entry Tag does not replace the Bold app.
The Bold app remains the place where access is managed. Permissions, users, schedules, and access rights continue to work through the Bold ecosystem. The Entry Tag only adds a faster way to activate a door when the user is physically standing next to it.
This means businesses stay in full control of who can enter, where, and when.
Is the Bold Entry Tag secure?
Yes. The Bold Entry Tag only works at close range and only with authorised users.
Holding a phone near the tag does not automatically give someone access. The user still needs the correct access rights for that specific Bold lock. If access is removed, the Entry Tag can no longer be used by that person to activate the door.
This keeps access digital, controlled, and easy to update.
Who is the Bold Entry Tag for?
The Bold Entry Tag is designed for Bold Pro users who want a faster way to enter a building or room with a Bold smart lock.
It is especially useful for businesses and shared environments where people move between several doors during the day. Employees, team members, visitors with access, and authorised users can all benefit from a more direct way to activate the correct lock.
The Entry Tag works with all Bold smart locks.
How do you install the Bold Entry Tag?
Installing the Bold Entry Tag is simple.
First, make sure your Bold smart lock is installed and active. The Entry Tag works with all Bold smart locks. Bluetooth and NFC should also be enabled on your phone.
Then open the Bold app, hold your phone near the Entry Tag, and assign the tag to the correct Bold smart lock.
After that, place the self-adhesive Entry Tag next to the matching door. Once installed, users can hold their phone near the tag, tap the notification, and activate the door.
Each Entry Tag can be linked to one lock only, so it is best to place the tags at the correct doors before linking them in the app.
A small upgrade that makes access easier
The Bold Entry Tag adds a simple but powerful improvement to the Bold access experience. It does not change how access is managed. It does not add complexity. It simply makes daily entry faster.
For businesses with multiple doors, shared spaces, or busy access points, the Bold Entry Tag helps users get to the right place with less effort.
Tap, confirm, and enter.
