- Log in using your phone number as your username, and the 6-digit PIN number provided as your temporary password. After logging in, the app will prompt you to create a new password of your own.
You can also download the app by simply searching in the App Store or Google Play Store for Storage Smart Entry and download just like you would any other app, then continue to log in.

ACCESSING YOUR STORAGE UNIT
To access your storage unit, tap the LED light on the smart lock to “wake” it. Open the Storage Smart Entry app on your smartphone. Note: You’ll need WI-FI or cellular signal to authenticate upon opening the app.
Once the smart lock is “awake,” the unit icon on your app will highlight. Tap the highlighted icon to open the door or entry point.

It’s easy to help a trusted friend or family member access your storage unit by sending them a digital keythrough the Storage Smart Entry app. To share your digital key, click on the plus sign in the top right-handcorner of your Storage Smart Entry app and select “Share Unit.”
Type in the cell phone number of the person you would like to share the key to and select the unit or entry point that you’d like them to get access to.
The new user will instantly receive an automated text message with a link to the Storage Smart Entry app and your digital key which grants them access to the unit.
