How it works
Smart access, simplified
The user's NFC-enabled phone provides power and transmits the encrypted unlock command. No battery is installed in the padlock.
- 01
Authorize
Assign access and validity in the management platform.
- 02
Tap
Open the EliteLock App and hold the phone at the NFC area.
- 03
Unlock
The lock receives power, verifies permission and releases.
- 04
Audit
Unlock status and operation history are returned to the system.
Emergency access remains available through the mechanical key override.
Access follows the contract
The lock answers to the rental record
Access is not a key handed over at a counter. It is a permission attached to the agreement, and it changes when the agreement changes.
Move-in
Access activates
The signed agreement and paid deposit turn on the tenant's permission for that unit.
In term
Access stays open
Authorized phones unlock the unit; every tap is written back as an event on the record.
Overdue
Access suspends
An overdue rule withdraws the permission without sending anyone to fit a manual overlock.
Expiry
Access ends
Permission lapses on the end date. Nothing to collect, nothing to re-cut, nothing to reset.
Product advantages
Built for controlled, distributed access
Zero-maintenance power
Passive NFC design eliminates battery replacement at the lock.
Centralized authorization
Grant, adjust or revoke access by user, lock and validity period.
Traceable operations
Record unlock events and review access history from the platform.
Mechanical resilience
8 mm shackle, zinc-alloy body and mechanical emergency override.
In place
What it looks like on the door
At the unit door
The tenant holds an authorized phone at the NFC area. Nothing to carry, nothing to charge.
Self-storage
One padlock per unit, one console across the site, no key cabinet at the counter.
Shared lockers
Cabinets and lockers in offices, gyms and campuses, issued by the hour or by the term.
Deployment
Fits where a padlock already fits
The lock replaces a standard padlock on the door that already has one. There is nothing to wire, nothing to charge and no gateway for normal phone-to-lock operation.
No wiring
The unit door needs no power run, no drilling and no controller in the corridor.
No gateway
Normal unlocking runs phone to lock; the phone carries the record back.
No keys to cut
Permissions are issued and withdrawn in the console instead of at a key cabinet.
No manual overlock
An overdue account is handled by a rule, not by a second lock fitted on site.
Comparison
Against the two locks it usually replaces
| Aspect | Keyed padlock | Battery smart padlock | EliteLock NFC padlock |
|---|---|---|---|
| Power at the lock | None | Battery, replaced on site | Phone NFC field |
| Issuing access | Cut and hand over a key | Pair a device or share a code | Assign in the platform |
| Withdrawing access | Collect or re-key | Unpair or rotate the code | Expire the permission |
| Unlock record | None | On the device | On the rental record |
| Time-bound permission | No | Depends on the model | Yes |
| Emergency access | Spare key | Spare key or override | Mechanical key override |

Questions
What operators ask first
The padlock carries no battery of its own, so a phone with no charge cannot open it. The mechanical key override stays available for emergency access, and it is held by the operator rather than the tenant.
