Why ONELock?
Battery-free smart locks powered by the same trusted NFC technology behind Apple Pay and mobile event ticketing. No Wi-Fi. No Bluetooth. No additional infrastructure.
Why NFC — The Technology That Never Fails
"There's a reason your phone, your credit card, and your event tickets all use NFC."
When reliability matters, the world doesn't rely on Wi-Fi or Bluetooth — it relies on Near Field Communication (NFC). It's how billions of people tap to pay, unlock hotel rooms, and access secure events — instantly, without needing batteries, pairing, or connectivity.
Now, it's how operators are securing and automating self-storage.
No power required
NFC wakes the lock using your phone's signal.
Bank-grade encryption
The same tech trusted by Apple and Visa.
Offline reliability
Works even with no cell service or Wi-Fi.
Universal standard
99.99% uptime across billions of devices.
"If Apple, Visa, and the NFL trust NFC — so should your storage operation."
Reliable
Powered by NFC — the same trusted technology behind Apple Pay and mobile event ticketing. When a tenant taps their phone, the NFC signal transfers energy that powers the internal capacitor, enabling the lock to securely open or close with each use.
NFC is like Apple Pay — tap, done. Bluetooth is like trying to pair your phone in a rental car — hit or miss.
How NFC Power Harvesting Works
Unlike traditional smart locks that rely on batteries or wired connections, ONELock uses NFC (Near Field Communication) power harvesting technology. When a smartphone is tapped against the lock, the NFC signal doesn't just communicate — it transfers enough energy to power the lock's internal capacitor. This capacitor stores just enough power to complete the lock/unlock operation, eliminating the need for batteries entirely.
Why NFC is Superior for Self-Storage
Bluetooth and WiFi were designed for consumer electronics in controlled environments. Self-storage facilities present unique challenges: metal doors that interfere with signals, extreme temperatures, and thousands of units requiring reliable connectivity. NFC requires no pairing, no network infrastructure, and works instantly on contact — making it the ideal technology for industrial access control.
Battle-Tested Technology
NFC powers billions of transactions daily through Apple Pay, Google Pay, and contactless credit cards. The same security and reliability that protects your financial transactions now protects your storage units. Our locks use bank-grade encryption and secure element technology to ensure every access is authenticated and logged.
