Frequently asked questions

Start with the first section if you're deciding whether dryn is right for you. The rest covers day-to-day use. Can't find your answer here? Get in touch.

Before you start
What do I need to use dryn?

Smart locks on a TTLock account, and a TTLock gateway for remote control. Sign up at app.dryn.co.uk, then connect your TTLock account in Settings → Integrations and your locks appear.

Do I need a gateway?

For remote actions (sending or removing a code, remote unlock), yes. Without one, dryn can't add or remove codes on that lock, and it tells you the change didn't reach it. You can get the TTLock G2 gateway from Traceable Access.

Which lock brands work with dryn?

TTLock. If you don't have locks yet, Traceable Access stocks the TTLock locks, keypads and gateways dryn works with.

Is there a free trial?

Yes, 14 days. A card is needed at sign-up. Cancel before the trial ends and you're not charged.

Do I need to talk to anyone to get started?

No. Sign up, connect your TTLock account and your locks appear. Prices are on the page, and there's no demo or sales call.

Why use dryn if the TTLock app is free?

Keep the TTLock app; dryn works alongside it. The TTLock app manages locks. dryn manages people, places and proof: every door across every property in one place, remove a person once and they lose every door they had, every code shows who created it and who removed it, and the access history can't be edited or deleted.

Who is behind dryn?

dryn is built and run by Traceable Access Limited, a UK company based in London that also supplies TTLock hardware.

Your locks and your TTLock account
Does dryn store my TTLock password?

No. dryn never stores your TTLock password.

Who owns my TTLock account and my locks?

You do. Your locks stay registered to your own TTLock account. dryn connects to it with your permission and acts on your instructions. It doesn't take the account over, and it never deletes your locks or codes on its own.

Can I still use the TTLock app?

Yes. But anything done directly in the TTLock app happens outside dryn, so dryn can't show who made that change or who approved it. dryn does notice such changes at its next sync and records them as made outside dryn.

How do I get a complete record of who has access?

Manage all access in dryn, and keep the TTLock app login to the account owner only. Then every code has a record of who created it, for whom, and who removed it.

Codes and people
Can I choose the code?

Yes, or let dryn generate one. Codes can be permanent or time-limited.

How do I change someone's code or dates?

Create a new code and delete the old one. That way every code has one clear record.

Can I add fingerprints or cards remotely?

No. Fingerprints and cards are enrolled at the lock. dryn shows them and can remove them remotely.

What happens when I remove someone's access?

Their codes, cards and fingerprints are removed from every lock they had access to. If removal from a lock fails, dryn tells you rather than pretending it worked.

Can people see each other's access?

No. Each person you invite sees only their own access.

The activity history
Can the access history be edited?

No. It can't be edited or deleted by anyone. Export it any time.

Does the history show code numbers?

No. It shows who used a lock, not their code.

How quickly does activity appear?

At dryn's regular sync, at least every hour, or straight away when you press Sync Now on a lock.

Can I export the history?

Yes. Filter by door, person or date and export to CSV.

Billing and leaving
How is my bill worked out?

There's no account fee. You pay only for the locks you connect, and you choose annual or monthly when you sign up.

Annual (2 months free): £32 a lock a year for your first 10 locks, £26 for locks 11 to 100, and £20 above that, paid upfront when your trial ends. Monthly: £3.20 a lock a month for your first 10 locks, £2.60 for locks 11 to 100, and £2.00 above that. See pricing.

How does the annual plan work if my locks change?

The locks you pay for at the start of the year are your paid places. Swap a lock for another at no extra cost. Add more locks than you've paid for and only the extra ones are charged, pro rata until your renewal date. Removing a lock during the year doesn't give a refund. At renewal you pay for the locks connected that day, and we email you before it renews.

Will I pay more as tenants or guests change?

No. dryn charges per lock, never per person. Unlimited people at no extra cost.

What happens if I cancel?

Monthly plans end at the end of the month. Annual plans don't renew and keep working until the end of the paid year. Then you get 30 days read-only: sign in, see everything and export your records. Every code on your locks keeps working, and you can always remove someone's access. Resubscribe within the 30 days and everything carries on. After that the account closes.

Will my tenants or guests be locked out if I leave dryn?

No. dryn doesn't wipe the codes on your locks. You stay in control in your TTLock app, and dryn emails you a list of the codes still active (never the code numbers).
