Accessing a location: additional tips

Extra tips & tidbits for accessing a Pocket Storage location.

We've built our systems to be secure enough to make it hard for a foolish thief to try and enter them. That said, sometimes this friction can make it hard to access our facilities, particularly if you are a first timer.

Here's a collection of the tips that we've heard are the most useful, from storagers just like yourself:

  1. Press the “Get Entry Code” button in the app just before you access the unit each time (your code will change throughout the day so will be a different code in the morning and evening).
    ​

  2. Give the * button a very gentle tap to begin. If this turns blue, the lock is now ready for you to enter your access code. If this flashes red, briefly pause before trying again.
    ​

  3. Enter the numbers slowly and patiently, with a small gap between each entry. You should hear 1 beep after each press. The keypad is purpose-built & is patient - you are under no pressure to press the buttons quickly so you can take your time.
    ​

  4. If the keypad does flash red at any point, please pause for a few moments before starting the sequence with the * again. I know it’s frustrating when you’re in a rush & just want to get in, but the red flash & long beep is the keypad telling you to start afresh.
    ​

  5. If an incorrect code has been entered 3 times in a row, the keypad will temporarily shut down as a security measure (you'll hear a long beeping sound, and then it will be unresponsive). Please wait 30 seconds and then try again.
