Door Access

Introduction

Door Access allows your studio to grant members entry during unstaffed hours or open-gym sessions securely. Access is tied directly to active memberships or valid bookings, ensuring only entitled members can enter. Vibefam integrates with Igloohome smart locks to provide PIN-based access, giving your studio flexibility and control.

Initial Steps to Set Up Door Access Hardware

Purchase the Hardware
You will need to engage an authorised distributor directly to purchase the required Igloohome hardware. You can find authorised distributors here:

Hardware Recommendation / Site Assessment
The distributor may conduct a site visit or request photos/videos of your studio door to recommend the most suitable device for your setup.

Installation & Warranty Support

The distributor will also handle the hardware installation and provide warranty support for the device.

Troubleshooting

Access Denied for Members
  • Check if the member has an active package or a valid booking.
    • You can go to "Entry Logs" to find the reason why the member was denied.   
  • Verify that the studio’s access hours are correctly set.
  • Confirm that the member’s package is not paused, expired, or awaiting payment.
  • Ensure the device is properly synced between Vibefam and Igloohome.
  • Check if the studio has toggled ON either Package Validity or Booking Validity.
Device Not Syncing
  • Make sure the lock is paired in the Igloohome App.

  • Re-sync the device in Vibefam by clicking Sync Device.

  • If issues persist, disconnect and reconnect the Igloohome account.

System Offline / Connectivity Issue
  • Verify internet connectivity on the admin portal.

  • Use Igloohome’s emergency override if immediate access is required.

  • Contact Igloohome support for hardware-related issues.

Incorrect Access Window
  • Double-check buffer times set for Booking Validity (e.g., minutes before/after class).

  • Ensure holiday or exception settings are not blocking access unintentionally.
