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

Enschede, Netherlands, 8 September 2026: Codelocks EU B.V., 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.

“From holiday homes and co-working spaces to sports facilities and bookable venues, many of today’s sharable spaces will benefit from ConnectShare’s mobile phone unlocking and access sharing,” said Steve Newman, Regional Director for Codelocks Europe. “That means full management, so administrators and lock owners can grant and revoke access from anywhere to almost anyone. It’s easy to do and only requires Codelocks’ app on users’ phones – no hardware, wiring, or internet connectivity for the lock.”

“That simplicity of installation is why locksmiths, distributors, and facilities managers have confidence in our products. But it’s our Codelocks app that has equipped them with an even deeper set of smart features.”

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, a medium-duty option with latch and mortice configurations, and the CL5500CC, a heavy-duty option supporting latch and lock. Both are available in Brushed Steel, with Solid Black also offered on the CL5500CC. ConnectShare locks have completed independent fire testing to BS EN 1634-1 for 30-minute and 60-minute timber door sets when installed with a Codelocks FireKit and performance testing to BS EN 12209.
