Let customers open their own unit and keep access tied to rental status. Automatic locks reduce the trips your team makes to manage padlocks and overlocks.
A gate can admit the right customer while the unit still needs a key, a padlock or a staff visit. Automatic unit locks bring that last door into the same access system.
Customers authenticate at the access points you provide, and BearLock releases their assigned unit. A corridor keypad can serve customers who prefer a PIN to a phone. The lock relocks according to your visit rules, keeping unit access with the entrance and permitted route.
A supported rental connection can restrict unit access when an account requires an overlock and restore access when the rental system sends the relevant update. Your team can manage the restriction electronically instead of walking to the unit. The provider’s connector determines which rental and payment changes it sends.
BearLock mounts inside the unit, with no exposed lock outside. It connects over Wi-Fi and releases electronically with customer access. The assembly is approximately 130 × 40 × 20 mm, width × height × depth. We assess the latch and mounting space on swing doors, roller shutters or sliding doors before specifying the fitting.
SAM brings phone access to the unit
SAM is a wireless, battery-powered lock that requires a smartphone with NFC. Customers tap their phone at the lock to open their unit without a separate padlock key.
Battery power supports a wireless installation. Choose the mounting arrangement around your existing unit doors.
Long battery life
SAM states battery life of up to 15 years under typical use. Actual life depends on how the lock is used.
A compact fit
Approximate body size: 250 × 55 × 25 mm. Latch: 40 × 25 × 3 mm. Dimensions are width × height × depth.
Know what happens after unlocking
Locks control access; sensors show door openings and movement inside and outside units. Add door contacts and PIR sensors to identify unexpected activity or doors left open, then review it with the access records. Choose locks, monitoring or both.
Can customers use a unit lock without a smartphone?
Yes, with BearLock. It can release the customer’s assigned unit after authentication at a keypad or reader. A corridor keypad lets them use their PIN close to the unit. SAM is a different lock option and requires a smartphone with NFC.
Can automatic locks be fitted to existing doors?
Yes, where the lock suits the door, latch and mounting space. Send photographs of representative units so we can check the fitting and what equipment can stay.
How does payment affect access?
A supported rental connector sends account changes to Bearbox. Access rules can restrict the unit when an overlock is needed and restore access when the relevant update arrives. Which events trigger these changes depends on the provider’s connector.
Do automatic locks include unit monitoring?
They are separate options. A lock controls release. Door contacts report openings and closings; PIR sensors detect movement inside and outside units. Choose either or combine them.
