LockStep TechnologyTransform Access Control

LockStep radically improves Access Control. Traditional systems are expensive, power hungry, require complex integration, and are susceptible to hacking. LockStep costs a fraction, lasts decades, requires no wires or infrastructure, and is more secure—devices cannot be hacked because there's no device‑to‑device communication.

Time‑Based Keys
Rolling code secrets expire based on fixed time windows (60s, 1h, 24h). No device‑to‑device communication needed.
AirGap Security
No radios, hubs, or device communication. Devices cannot be hacked or penetrated by malefactors.
10‑Year Battery
Designed for decade‑long life with wire‑free, no‑radio architecture. Fractional cost vs traditional.

Why Radio‑Free Architecture?

Traditional access control requires readers, radios, hubs, apps, and network infrastructure. LockStep takes a different approach: synchronized time‑based codes eliminate the need for device‑to‑device communication. This architectural difference enables deployment in places that couldn't support traditional systems—at a fraction of the cost.

  • • Fractional Cost: No wiring, network enrollment, or complex infrastructure.
  • • Enhanced Reliability: Fewer components, decade‑long battery life.
  • • AirGap Security: No device communication = no remote attack surface. Devices cannot be hacked by malefactors.
  • • Universal Deployment: Works anywhere—even remote locations and developing regions where traditional systems aren't feasible.
Standard Access Flow
How a user gains entry with rotating codes.
  1. User identifies lock (QR / lookup)
  2. Authenticates (login / SSO / geo)
  3. Server validates policy & window
  4. Current valid code delivered
  5. User enters keypad code
  6. Device matches internal rolling state → unlock
  7. Event logged (who / what / where / when)
Offline / Edge Scenarios
Resilience without network.
  • Pre-generated hour / 24‑hour windows
  • Future dated codes for off‑grid jobs
  • Local audit until sync restored
Hardware Portfolio
Padlocks, lockboxes, keypad modules, and custom OEM built on a radio‑free LockStep engine.
  • Simple Padlock – for everywhere that couldn't get Access Control before
