Real‑World Lockstep Deployment Scenarios
From storage facilities to remote field infrastructure, LynkD enables granular, auditable, low‑maintenance access without radios or persistent apps.
5–8 yrs
Battery Design Target
≤4K LOC
Firmware Size
Cage → Rack → Locker
Granularity
60s / 1h / 24h
Windows
Self‑Storage & Asset Yards
Granular, code‑based control across hundreds of units without wiring or radio enrollment.
Challenges
- • Traditional rekey costs & tenant turnover overhead
- • Inconsistent audit trails across mechanical + digital mixes
- • Radio locks drain batteries & require app coordination
Solution
- • Deploy padlocks on every unit – provision in minutes via QR
- • Windowed codes per tenant; revoke instantly without visiting site
- • Offline hour/24h codes for limited connectivity zones
Impact
- • Cut turnover labor 40–60% vs rekeying
- • Reduce battery service cycles (years not months)
- • Unified audit: who / what / where / when
Logistics & Fleet Staging
Secure gates, trailers & cages in distributed yards with deterministic offline capability.
Challenges
- • Keys shared among shifts – no accountability
- • Cellular dead zones block app‑based unlocking
- • High maintenance for BLE / telematics combos
Solution
- • Assign driver / contractor time windows (shift or route)
- • Pre‑generate codes for off‑grid segments
- • Audit trail feeds analytics for yard dwell & access density
Impact
- • Shrink unauthorized access incidents
- • Improve dwell visibility for high‑value assets
- • Lower device maintenance visits
Rental & Hospitality Turnovers
Frictionless guest & cleaner scheduling without forcing an app install.
Challenges
- • Keys hidden / lost; smart locks require app & Wi‑Fi onboarding
- • Overlapping bookings create credential confusion
- • Battery & connectivity failure risk during peak seasons
Solution
- • SMS / email delivery of valid stay window codes
- • Cleaner sub‑windows automatically inserted between stays
- • Offline resilience for network / ISP outages
Impact
- • Reduce guest access support tickets
- • Automate cleaner scheduling windows
- • Eliminate physical key courier trips
Field Service & Contractors
Temporary, auditable access for rotating crews and service vendors.
Challenges
- • Shared mechanical keys – no per‑tech attribution
- • Complex badge provisioning for short engagements
- • Radio credential sync delays
Solution
- • Issue shift‑length or task‑length code windows
- • Layer geo or time MFA (premium) for sensitive zones
- • Auto‑expire & revoke without on‑site collection
Impact
- • Shorten onboarding to minutes
- • Increase attribution coverage to 100%
- • Cut lost key incidence to near zero
Remote / Off‑Grid Infrastructure
Deterministic windowed codes provide continuity when networks vanish.
Challenges
- • No reliable cellular for cloud handshake
- • Technicians carry bundles of physical keys
- • Risk of lockouts during disaster scenarios
Solution
- • Pre‑stage hour / daily windows for mission period
- • Local event buffering until sync returns
- • Centralized post‑op audit & exception surfacing
Impact
- • Reduce physical keyset size dramatically
- • Maintain access continuity during outages
- • Faster post‑event forensic review
Utilities & Telecom Cabinets
Scalable granular access to distributed cabinets & shelters.
Challenges
- • Key duplication risk across subcontract layers
- • Truck rolls to rekey after personnel changes
- • Radio updates difficult across large geos
Solution
- • Provision per‑technician windows (geo fenced optional)
- • Bulk revoke instantly without physical visit
- • Tamper / low power insights (premium)
Impact
- • Slash rekey truck rolls
- • Increase cabinet visit attribution
- • Extend battery replacement intervals
Why It Wins Versus Legacy Smart Locks
Legacy Radio Model
- • BLE / Wi‑Fi enrollment
- • Battery drain from chatter
- • App dependency & updates
- • RF attack vectors
Mechanical Keys
- • No attribution
- • Costly rekey cycles
- • Key loss / duplication risk
- • No remote revoke
Lockstep Model
- • Deterministic windows
- • No radios / hubs
- • Granular deployment
- • Unified audit trail
