Codelocks, a prominent figure in the global access control arena, has introduced the Codelocks Connect App, a solution designed to streamline remote lock management via mobile devices.
This app enables business owners, building managers, and other key personnel to easily create and distribute access codes through email or SMS, enhancing the management of building and locker access without sacrificing key features or performance.
Innovative Code Generation
The app incorporates the Codelocks NetCode® Technology, allowing users to produce time-sensitive codes. These NetCodes can be tailored with specific start times and expiry dates, automatically invalidating after their designated period. With over 10,000 NetCode® users, this method is well-suited for diverse applications like sports venues, event spaces, and delivery lockers.
Real-World Applications and Impacts
Matt Welty, Vice President at Codelocks Americas, remarked, "Across the US and Canada, we're seeing NetCode® being put to work in new ways. From wellness retreats to music studios, through to short-term rentals and tennis courts, the range of businesses building it into their operations is remarkable. The use cases go beyond simply making access control easier, too. Customers are using time-sensitive codes to create new revenue streams, giving customers on-demand, self-service access to spaces and storage that previously couldn’t be easily shared or needed staff to manage."
Streamlined User Experience

Time-sensitive codes
“The Codelocks Connect App is a significant step forward for those customers. Generating a code, sharing it, and managing access takes seconds from a phone. For businesses with multiple locations or high turnover of users, that adds up to a substantial reduction in admin.”

This means responsible personnel can generate, communicate, activate, and manage NetCodes wherever they are, rather than being limited to their office.
Configuring new devices
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 synchronized 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.
