About

Built by people who know self-storage.

Self-storage access, security and site management, shaped by more than 20 years in the industry.

Bearbox develops the hardware and software that connect customer access, unit protection and site management. Our team works with operators from the first site discussion through commissioning and ongoing support.

A company that grew out of the industry

Bearbox began more than 20 years ago with people working in self-storage who wanted access control built for the way their sites ran. That experience still guides us: customers need to reach their units, and operators need to know the rest of the site stays protected.

The people behind the product

Our team of 30+ people covers hardware and software development, production, commissioning and support. We develop the hardware and software together, so the people helping with your site know how the whole system works.

Recognised by the self-storage industry

Bearbox won the Innovation Award at the 2023 FEDESSA European Self Storage Awards for Two Factor Authentication. The award recognised our work on requiring two checks at the entrance, helping operators protect customer access.

Keep customer access in step with rentals. Connect supported rental changes with site access, so your team has fewer permissions to update separately.
