Codelocks launches ConnectShare locks for easy access and app-enabled management

Chatswood, NSW, 8 September 2026: Codelocks (Australia) Pty Ltd., the access control specialist, has today launched ConnectShare, a new range of smart locks that use mobile phones to make access and management simple.

Part of the Connect by Codelocks solutions, these latest locks build on the success of Codelocks’ existing range of connected locks, adding several new features and enhanced connectivity. ConnectShare locks offer three access modes: user code, RFID card and mobile phone. They are managed through the easy-to-use Codelocks Connect App, enabling full remote management of the locks from a mobile device.

“For holiday rentals and other shared environments, ConnectShare makes mobile unlocking and access sharing simple,” said Mark Samuelson, Regional Director at Codelocks Asia Pacific. “Administrators and lock owners can manage access remotely, granting or revoking entry from anywhere. Installation is straightforward too. There’s no need for wiring or internet connectivity. The smart features come from the offline capabilities within the lock, combined with the Codelocks app.”

Key features that can be enabled using the app include Codelocks NetCode® Technology for generating date- and time-sensitive codes, GuestCode functionality that allows guests and temporary users to set their own access code for the duration of their stay, and Do Not Disturb mode, which gives occupants privacy control — ideal for private spaces and changing rooms. The new features also include Multi-Admin functionality, which allows operators to assign shared management of individual locks, and Dual Authorisation, which adds an extra layer of protection for higher-security applications by requiring two valid credentials to be presented to unlock.

ConnectShare locks introduce an activity log, a first for the Connect by Codelocks range of products. Unlike many other standalone locks, ConnectShare can record who has accessed a door and when, making it well suited to regulated environments where sensitive materials or data may be present.

ConnectShare locks are available now. The CL4500CC is a medium-duty option with latch and mortice configurations, and the CL5500CC is a heavy-duty option supporting latch and lock. Both are available in Brushed Steel, with Solid Black also offered on the CL5500CC.
