Now, business owners, building managers and any personnel responsible for managing access to a site can create access codes, and share them via email or SMS directly from the app. The new mobile functionality makes it even more convenient to manage building and locker access, without compromising on features or performance.

The Codelocks Connect App features Codelocks Netcode Technology allowing users to generate time-sensitive codes, to create Netcodes that have a specified start date, time and duration after which they will automatically expire. With over an excess of 10,000 users of Netcode locks, this form of scheduled temporary access is ideal for a range of applications, including sports facilities, event hire spaces, parcel delivery lockers and more.

Steve Newman, Regional Director at Codelocks Europe, said: “Because Netcode makes it easy to build flexible, automated access control solutions, we’re seeing it show up in diverse applications, being used in creative ways. Many of these are start-ups or other entrepreneurial endeavours that are using it to generate revenue, putting Netcode at the centre of their business models.”

“The new Codelocks Connect App will make it even easier for our customers to manage their locks, saving them time and effort in the process.”

The new app builds on the success of the desktop-based Codelocks Connect Portal. It embodies the same features and functionality in a mobile-optimised format that can be used anywhere and on the go. This means responsible personnel can generate, communicate, activate and manage Netcodes wherever they are, rather than being limited to their office.

New locks can be added and registered from a mobile device, which is particularly useful for installers and facilities managers configuring new devices during an installation. Any locks that are already registered in the Connect Portal are easily imported into the app without duplication, and all changes – whether made in the app or in the portal – are automatically synchronised across both platforms. Multiple managers can also be assigned to a single lock or group of locks, which enables teams to share access responsibilities without relying on a single administrator.
