If you run a self-storage facility, you know the frustrations all too well. Keypads fail at the worst moments. Tenants forget their PINs or lose their keys. Emergency callouts eat into your margins. When access systems go down, the downtime doesn’t just frustrate tenants, it disrupts your entire business.
For years, operators have treated these headaches as unavoidable costs of running a storage facility. But access control doesn’t have to be a weak point anymore. It can, and should be, a strength.
From Chaos to Control: How One System Is Transforming Self-Storage
This is where Sensorberg One Access comes in. It’s a modular self storage access control ecosystem built to solve the problems legacy systems can’t. Instead of juggling multiple hardware setups and fragmented access solutions that barely work together, operators finally get a single backbone that ties everything into one unified system.
Every element of One Access is designed to work seamlessly together - from unit doors and gates to elevators, sensors, and even CCTV integration. Everything is controlled from a single, streamlined platform. Installation is faster, daily operations are simpler, and scaling across multiple 24/7 storage locations is straightforward, without the need to replace existing infrastructure.
Behind the system is Sensorberg’s experienced team, supported by a broad network of partners across Europe. Together, they ensure smooth implementation and long-term success with ongoing support.
In short, One Access adapts to your business, not the other way around.
Why Self-Storage Operators Are Switching to One Access?
The advantages are evident in the details, and for operators, the details make all the difference.
-
Lower installation costs:
Plug-and-play over PoE means less cabling, fewer hours on-site, and simpler retrofits. Projects stay on time and on budget. Operators save on labor and material costs, freeing up resources for other investments.
-
Reliable uptime:
Offline continuity and predictive diagnostics keep facilities running smoothly, even if the network goes down. Operators gain peace of mind, and tenants barely notice when issues arise. This reduces emergency service calls and unexpected expenses, improving overall profitability.
-
Scalable by design:
Start with a single site and expand seamlessly. Add new modules and features as your business grows. And what’s the best? No major overhauls or replacements needed. Operators can grow their business without downtime or costly infrastructure upgrades.
-
Better tenant experience:
Multiple access options via app, PIN, or NFC backup eliminate the headaches of lost keys or broken keypads. Operators benefit from higher tenant satisfaction and retention, reducing turnover and vacancy rates.
Put it all together, and access control stops being a source of stress and becomes a reliable, predictable part of daily operations.
Why Legacy Systems Are Falling Behind
Well, the self-storage game is changing fast. Tenants expect instant, 24/7 storage access the moment they book online - just like any other on-demand service. Meanwhile, operators are running facilities remotely, sometimes with no staff on-site, and they need systems that just work, every time.
One thing is clear: old-school keypads, locks, and patchwork setups weren’t built for this. They are costly to maintain, hard to scale, and prone to downtime. On top of that, they often fall short on security, leaving both operators and tenants exposed.
Sensorberg One Access flips the script. It’s built for today’s connected world and ready for tomorrow’s growth. And remember… this isn’t just an upgrade. It’s a smarter, stronger foundation for how modern secure space storage runs, now and in the future.
This Is Just the Start
What you are seeing today? Just the tip of the iceberg.
Sensorberg One Access didn’t appear overnight. It’s the product of years of testing, tweaking, and learning from real operators. And while it’s already making waves, the roadmap is far from done. New features, integrations, and upgrades are coming to make access control in self storage smarter, smoother, and more reliable.
For operators, that means less hassle, lower costs, and a system that actually scales with their business.
For tenants, it’s a storage experience that finally feels modern and stress-free.
Old keypads, lockouts, and unreliable systems? Slowly becoming relics of the past. The future of access is modular, flexible, and built to last.
All you need is One Access.
