Visitors of theater PAARD can easily and quickly rent a locker by scanning one of the qr-codes hanging in the cloakroom with their mobile phone. In this way, personal belongings are safely stored and visitors do not have to queue. The QR code leads to a website that is designed in the house style of PAARD, making it instantly recognizable for visitors. After booking, a link is sent by e-mail with which they can easily use their locker. Of course it is also possible to use one of the touchscreens to reserve a locker. This way, visitors can also rent a locker without using their mobile phone.
FAQ about Smart Lockers
How does the Keynius locker system work?
Keynius lockers combine smart electronic locks - smart locks and battery locks - with cloud-based software and optional local controllers via our Smart Home Teacher and Students.
Locks connect via LAN or Bluetooth to the Keynius platform, allowing users to authenticate, open, and manage lockers through touchscreens, RFID, PIN, or mobile app.
Admins control access rights, monitor usage, and configure lockers remotely via the Keynius Portal.
Can I customize the locker design and materials?
Yes. We are the only smart locking provider that owns every part of our supply chain, which includes all components, hardware, cabinetry, and software. This allows us to offer the most customizable smart lockers in the industry.
Lockers are available in multiple materials and colors:
Steel, powder-coated in standard RAL colors.
Wood-based panels with extensive Egger color finishes.
HPL laminate for high-durability indoor/outdoor use.
Outdoor waterproof steel version.
Each locker supports optional side panels, bases, benches, and color branding, or vinyl wrapping, as well as your selection of lock type, connection type, and many other custom add-ons.
Is the platform cloud-based or do I need local servers?
The Keynius platform is fully cloud-managed, requiring no local servers. Hardware like Smart Home Teacher/Student units and Battery Locks connect to the cloud via LAN or Bluetooth and are configured through the Keynius Portal or App.
What authentication/access methods are supported?
Supported authentication methods include:
PIN (capacitive keypad or mobile-assigned)
RFID (MiFare, HID, NFC, Apple Wallet)
Mobile app (BLE) for remote and Bluetooth access
QR code scanning (QR Reader IP65)
Payment terminals can optionally authenticate via debit/credit contactless systems.
How secure is the system and where is the data hosted?
Hardware is certified to CE, FCC, UKCA, and RoHS standards, with IP-rated protection up to IP65 for outdoor units.
Locks feature encryption, motorized mechanisms, and mechanical overrides for fail-safe access.
All data, including access logs and credentials, is stored securely in Keynius’ EU-hosted cloud environment compliant with European data protection standards.
Can Keynius integrate with our existing software?
Yes. The system offers open APIs for integration with HR, facility, payment, or booking systems. Payment terminals support remote configuration through the Terminal API.
