# Padword

> Connect Padword smart locks to Nexudus, so customers open doors based on their passes, bookings, desks and offices.

## Overview

**Padword** makes smart locks. The integration gives customers access to your Padword locks based on what they have in Nexudus — their passes, resource bookings, and assigned desks and offices.

The integration costs **£50 a month per location** (shown in your currency). You need a Padword account with your locks installed, and your passes, resources, desks and offices set up in Nexudus.

## Setting up Padword

1. Go to **Settings → Integrations → PADWORD** and turn on **Enable PadWord integration**.
2. Enter the email address and password of your Padword account as the **PadWord username** and **PadWord password**, and save.
3. Choose the Padword locks for each of your **Resources**, **Passes** and **Desks / Offices**. Leave an item blank if it shouldn't open any doors.
4. Save.

## How access works

| Item | Who gets access, and when |
| - | - |
| **Resources** | Customers who book the resource, from 15 minutes before the booking starts until 15 minutes after it ends. |
| **Passes** | Customers holding the pass. |
| **Desks / Offices** | Customers with an active contract assigned to the desk or office. |

Customers can open doors by scanning an [automation tile](/platform/settings/automation-tiles) set to **Unlock PadWord door**.

Link every door a customer needs to get to the space — the building entrance as well as the room.
