looking for 21st century solutions
to facilitate stress-free access to
their facilities, venues or properties.
Recommending and installing Codelocks
Smart Locks helps your customers make
better use of staff time and provides
trouble-free access. Smart locks offer
advanced programming and access
methods, as well as simple retrofit
opportunities for easy upgrades.
SHOW STOPPING PRODUCT
Locksmith JPriest & Son recommended
and installed the Codelocks CL5510
smart lock for Loyd Lindsay Rooms, in
Oxfordshire. The events team at this
unique venue now operate an effective,
efficient hiring out process for their
customers. A self-service access control
system makes it possible to hire out the
venue at allotted times 24/7 without the
need for a caretaker to frequently visit the
site to open and lock up.
The CL5510 offers a range of entry
methods allowing the venue’s customers
the luxury of choosing their most suitable
entry method, whether it be code, phone
or card. This lock supports 100 user codes,
100 phone entry customers, and 150 client
smart cards.
By downloading the K3 Connect App*,
Loyd Lindsay Room staff can issue smart
cards, codes and phone entry access
to venue renters. The app also allows
them to manage all aspects of the lock
conveniently from their smartphones
to monitor who enters and leaves the
building, and at what time.

IN TUNE WITH CUSTOMERS
Pirate Studios was founded on the basis
of offering musicians self-service studios
that are available to hire for allotted time
slots, 24/7. They allow customers to let
themselves in and out of the studios
unaided at times that suit them. Looking
for advice about NetCodes, Pirate Studios
contacted Codelocks experts who
recommended CL5510 smart locks and
KL1550 locker locks to meet its access
control and security needs.
The CL5510 allows codes to be created via
an online portal and issued to customers via
email or SMS. This function is used by Pirate
Studios to send musicians personalised
codes for self-service access to rehearsal
space and/or storage lockers. The NetCode
technology built into the lock’s design
automatically erases the code when the
client has finished using the space, so it’s
ready for the next musician. The installation
of the smart locks eliminates the need for
staff onsite and allows Pirate Studios to
keep rental prices down, passing on the
benefit to its customers.
THE PERFECT MATCH
Parks Tennis want to make it simple
for people to book the tennis courts for
specific timeslots. Mechanical and fob
locks involve too much administrative
hassle; padlock combination locks are
not always robust enough for the outdoor
environment and heavy usage. Many
digital locks are prohibitively expensive
or need to be part of a complex wired-in
system. Codelocks offers a standalone
solution to these challenges. Its coded
locks are keyless, robust, excellent value,
and battery-powered.
Parks Tennis chose the CL5510
smart lock for its ability to generate
unique access codes remotely, offering
convenience for players and coaches.
Customers book a timeslot through the
website and automatically receive a
unique code via text or email. This simple
‘pay and play’ solution is made possible by
the CL5510’s smart capabilities.
Since installing Codelocks’ CL5510
smart lock, income from the courts
has doubled and staff no longer have
to waste time on site waiting to let
customers on to the court, locking up
afterwards, issuing keys or searching for
lost keys. Through the CL5510 Audit Trail
function, Parks Tennis can also gather
customer data to gain insight into the
use of the courts. This helps to inform
decision-making and encourage repeat
bookings.
