LockNOC retrofits smartphone unlocking onto the access control system already on your wall. The panel stays. The strikes stay. The fobs keep working. You just stop handing out plastic.
Replacing an access control system means new panels, new readers, new wiring and a new inspection. LockNOC adds to what you have instead.
Your certified panel keeps doing its job. Egress, fire release and code compliance stay with the system that was already installed, inspected and signed off.
A networked relay board ties into your existing door control hardware, allowing LockNOC to manage door access. No need to use the old software to manage your users.
Your people unlock from their phone, approved by the phone's own fingerprint, face or lock screen. Cards, fobs and keypads carry on working right alongside.
Most companies that grew over decades don’t have an access control system. They have four — a panel at head office, something nobody remembers at the second warehouse, a keypad on the yard gate, and a drawer of keys for everything else.
LockNOC asks each panel to do the one thing they all already do — release the door, the way the exit button does. So a site running one make and a site running another end up looking identical from the outside.
Add somebody once and give them the front door at one site and the yard gate at another — different hardware, different towns, same screen. Take it all back just as quickly when they leave.
Every unlock, every site, every make of panel, in one filterable list. Answering “who opened the shop on Sunday?” stops meaning a walk between three vendor programs, if the old one kept a record at all.
It needs no network port, no cloud account and no firmware from this decade. The LockNOC controller next to it carries the connection; the panel only ever sees a contact close, exactly as if somebody pressed the exit button. A board fitted in the nineties gets phone unlocking and a searchable log without being touched.
Nothing to install, and no vendor program that only runs on the one PC in the corner with the dongle in it. Any browser, any machine, from the office or from home.
Unifying the management is the cheap half, and it comes first. Panels can then be replaced when they fail or when budget allows, one building at a time, without anyone losing access or having to learn a second system in the meantime.
The parts of access control that were always awkward — issuing, revoking and knowing what happened — stop being errands.
A new hire has access before their first shift. Someone who leaves is cut off from wherever you happen to be standing — with no fob to chase down.
Who opened it, which door, what time, from which phone or PC. Filter the log by door or person, or export the lot when someone needs to see it.
Each phone holds a hardware-backed key inside its secure element. It never leaves the device, and there is nothing to duplicate at the hardware store.
Unlocked through business hours, secured after. Hold unlocking to people who are actually on site, or let trusted staff open from anywhere.
A contractor, a delivery, a showing. Send a pass that works on the doors you choose for the window you choose, then expires on its own.
Sites, doors and people in one place — with roles, so HR handles the people and your admin handles the hardware.
Almost certainly. If a button on the wall can release the door, LockNOC can release it the same way.
LockNOC only ever asks your existing panel to do what it already does when someone presses the exit button. Free egress, fire release and fail-safe behaviour remain the responsibility of the certified system you already own — we don't sit in that path.
Open a door the way an employee would, right in your browser. No sign-up, no install, and nothing on the page is connected to a real door or a real person. Want to see the other side of it? The Admin Portal HR uses is one tap away inside the demo — invite somebody, change who gets which door, read the log.
