NetCode® Explained

 

The smart way to generate access codes.

Codelocks Smart Locks and the KitLock NetCode® enabled locks utilise technology that allows you to create date and time-sensitive temporary coded access: NetCode. A NetCode can be generated quickly and easily via the C3 Smart App1, the online Codelocks Connect Portal or by utilising the Codelocks Connect API. Once generated, a NetCode can be shared via email or SMS2, and will expire after their set duration - ideal for visiting service engineers, delivery personnel and short / medium-term locker rental.

 

No WiFi required.

NetCode works by using time and date based algorithms, synced between the lock and software upon initial programming. No WiFi is required - this helps our customers to issue a NetCode and manage access control wherever they are, even in the most remote locations.

 

NetCode Applications

Learn how NetCode could work for you by taking a look at some of our example scenarios using the drop downs below.

KitLock + NetCode

The KL1000 G3 NetCode is a smart way to generate time-sensitive codes for a wide range of lockers. Read how LokNCharge and Mobile Locker utilised the Codelocks Connect API to streamline their booking processes.


Customer requests to hire locker and makes booking payment

A locker is randomly assigned and a 7-digit NetCode automatically generated which is then shared with customer

Customer inputs NetCode, opens the locker and stores belongings

NetCode will lock / unlock the locker for the set duration before expiring

Booking ends, customer removes belongings and the locker is free for next use

 

 

 

"We looked at all the locks available on the market and it was Codelock’s NetCode feature that won it for us. NetCode is easy to use and provides less work for our employees, as codes can be generated online instead of manually at the lock – they can now spend their time more productively."
