Looking for recommendations for controlling access by users of our
storage units. There are 40 units on the site.

These would be steel storage units with no on-site management. We want
to control it all over the internet. Intention is to have users
download an app that will allow them to unlock (and relock) via RFID
on their phone, based on a code we send.

The entire storage facility needs to be run remotely so that the
locking system in each individual unit can have the code reset by us
remotely over the internet. Similarly it should be able to be
over-ridden by us if rental money is outstanding.

Ideally the app should be linked in to our website so that users can
sign up with direct debit payment.


As part of a gated marina I have come across something like this:

https://www.electricgates-uk.co.uk/o...7892-GSM-Gate-
opener.html

where you make a call to a number and the sender's number is recognised.
I am aware this is intended for multiple users but has some form of
central control to add or remove numbers.

It means the most noddiest phones will work, and doesn't require
anything to be installed, it just needs a mobile signal.

The above link is the first I came across and I am sure there are
others.

Yes, our local storage units have this. You also have to use a keypad,
with a known number. Then you need your key!
