Manual access doesn’t scale for storage operators
Managing access to a self-storage facility can quickly become operational overhead:
Manual key handouts and lock changes between renters
Shared access codes that never expire and get reused
Staff overhead for granting access at every check-in
No real-time control or audit logs of who accessed which unit
For operators running multiple sites or unmanned facilities, this creates constant friction.
Automate access for every rental
With Seam, you can automate access to your self-storage facility. Seam integrates with your existing rental or booking system and turns each reservation into time-bound access control.
With Seam, you can:
With Seam, you can:
Generate time-bound access codes for each rental
Automatically revoke access when the rental ends
Operate across multiple smart-lock providers from a single integration
Manage every facility from one centralized API
All access is managed programmatically through a single API.
How it works
This works with your existing rental system—no need to change your workflow.
01
Customer books a storage unit
A renter reserves a unit through your existing booking or rental system.
02
Seam issues access credentials
Seam generates a unique access code—or a mobile key—scoped to the rented unit.
03
Access expires automatically
The code is revoked the moment the rental ends, with no manual cleanup.
Real-world use cases
Practical operational workflows Seam powers for self-storage operators, single-site facilities, and multi-location networks.
Hourly or monthly rentals
Issue codes scoped to any rental duration—from a single hour to a long-term lease.
Fully unattended facilities
Run sites with no onsite staff—renters access their units independently with their own code.
Multi-location operators
Manage access across your entire portfolio from a single dashboard and API.
Temporary access for movers or staff
Issue short-lived codes for movers, contractors, or maintenance—revoked automatically when done.
After-hours and 24/7 access
Let renters access their units anytime they need—no need for the front desk to be open.
Optional real-time control
In addition to automation, you can control access in real time.
Add an "Unlock" button in your admin tools
Allow staff to grant access remotely
Resolve access issues instantly
This is useful for hybrid setups combining automation and human oversight.
Keep your existing tools
Seam connects your booking or rental system to your physical access infrastructure, acting as the automation layer between rentals and units.
