Smart Access. Simple for Users. Powerful for Operators.
The strongbox hangar combines high-security physical protection with intelligent digital access, creating a cycle parking solution that is convenient for users and simple for operators to manage.
Combining an innovative locking mechanism, Bluetooth connectivity and the bespoke bikedok smartphone app, users can find and book available spaces, manage existing bookings and access strongbox products directly from their smartphone – without the need for a physical key, access card or separate bicycle lock.
The result is a simple, intuitive cycle parking experience designed to make secure bicycle storage easier to access and more convenient to use.
One app. Multiple locations.
Rather than being restricted to one specific location, users can discover available cycle parking, make a booking and access participating Strongbox products wherever the service is available.
This creates the potential for a connected network of secure cycle parking, providing a consistent user experience across multiple sites and locations.
For local authorities, transport operators, universities, employers and property managers, this provides an opportunity to move beyond individual cycle storage installations and create a more accessible, integrated cycle parking network.
Flexible bookings and subscriptions.
Different locations require different approaches to cycle parking. The bikedok platform supports customisable pricing, short-term bookings and subscription-based access, allowing operators to configure the service around the needs of a particular site and its users.
Spaces can be made available for occasional visitors, regular commuters or longer-term subscribers, helping maximise utilisation while providing users with greater flexibility.
This makes the system particularly suitable for locations where conventional key allocation can be restrictive or where there is a high turnover of users.
Designed for high-demand locations.
App-enabled access makes the Strongbox smart product line particularly suited to busy locations where secure cycle parking needs to be shared between a large number of potential users.
Typical applications include:
+ Town and city centres
+ Railway stations and transport hubs
+ Commercial centres and developments
+ Universities and college campuses
+ Workplaces and business parks
+ Residential developments
+ Leisure and sports facilities
+ Healthcare facilities
+ Public cycle parking networks
Instead of manually issuing and recovering physical keys, digital access allows authorised users to gain entry through their smartphone, making Strongbox easier to operate at scale.
Greater visibility for operators.
Digital access isn't only about making the user experience easier. It can also provide operators with a much clearer understanding of how their cycle parking infrastructure is performing.
Usage information and reporting can provide valuable insight into occupancy, booking activity and demand, helping organisations understand when and where their cycle parking is being used.
This information can support future investment decisions, identify locations where additional capacity may be required and help operators demonstrate the utilisation and value of their cycle parking infrastructure.
A better user experience.
For the cyclist, the process is designed to be straightforward. Security on the go. Find. Book. Unlock. Park.
Users can locate participating Strongbox products, book an available space and gain access using their smartphone. There are no physical keys to collect, lose or return and no complicated access arrangements to manage.
For regular users, subscription options can make accessing secure cycle parking even simpler, while occasional users can benefit from flexible short-term booking options.
Physical security meets digital convenience.
Smart technology is only effective when it is combined with strong physical security.
The Strongbox product line brings together Bluetooth-enabled digital access with Sold Secure Powered Cycle Diamond accreditation, creating a solution designed around both security and convenience.
The physical Strongbox products protects the bicycle, while the digital platform manages access.
Together, they provide a modern approach to secure cycle parking that can be deployed as a single installation or expanded into a multi-site network of connected Strongbox products.
