How the access code works

Situation
What happens
Opening your locker
Enter your code on the touchscreen. No web app required at the locker. No staff.
Does the code change?
No. Same code throughout your entire rental. Deactivated only after removal.
Balance owed
The screen shows what you owe. Door stays locked until payment clears. Pay on screen or in the web app.
Forgot your code?
Open the web app and tap VIEW MY CODE. Or check your confirmation text/email. Or call 855-500-2226.
QR code backup
Every rental generates a QR code in the web app. Tap SHOW QR CODE and hold near the locker scanner.
Sharing access
Go to MY RENTAL → SHARE ACCESS. Generate one secondary code. Both codes open the same locker.
The code never changes. Balance owed → pay it → door opens immediately. You are never locked out permanently.

Operational failures, force majeure & emergency protocols

Failure
What happens / your action
Refund?
Power outage
Defaults locked. 24-hr battery backup. Call 855-500-2226 — tech dispatched within 4 hrs.

Screen failure

5 wrong code attempts
15-minute security lockout. Wait 15 min or call 855-500-2226 for override.
No — security feature
The 4-hour rule. An outage of 4 hours or less is a temporary interruption — not a breach of contract. An outage exceeding 4 hours caused by ReadyLockers-controllable factors entitles you to a refund of the affected rental time PLUS 25% off your next rental.

Force majeure. Ready Lockers is not liable for failures caused by events beyond its reasonable control — including natural disasters, power-grid failures, internet infrastructure failures, cyberattacks, data breaches, unauthorized system access, acts of government, or civil unrest. We will notify you within 24 hours of any confirmed force majeure event affecting your rental.
