What is a smart padlock? Key features and benefits at a glance
A modern solution for secure access

What makes a padlock “smart”?
A smart padlock replaces physical keys with secure mobile access. Using NFC technology, it draws power from a smartphone or key fob, eliminating the need for batteries or wiring. This makes it ideal for remote locations and harsh environments where maintenance is costly or impractical.

Smart padlocks use AES-256 encryption and provide real-time access logs. Access rights can be granted or revoked instantly, ensuring only authorised users can unlock them.
