What DaVinci Lock does

DaVinci Lock Self Storage, Inc., founded in 2018 and headquartered in Raleigh, North Carolina, is a vertically-focused technology provider for the self-storage industry. The company designs and sells a patented mechanical combination lock system paired with a cloud-based management platform. The core DaVinci Lock stores, tracks, and automatically delivers unlock codes to tenants via SMS, email, or the Tenant Connect web portal, and operates without requiring Wi-Fi or power at the lock. The product suite has expanded to include Tenant Connect (a QR-code-based tenant self-service experience), G.O.A.T. (a gate access technology enabling QR-code or phone-keypad entry without apps, Bluetooth, or Wi-Fi), a mobile application for operators, and OverlockRelease.com (a tenant-facing portal for retrieving combinations after payment). The system integrates natively with more than ten facility management software platforms including SiteLink, Storable Edge and Easy, SSM Cloud, Hummingbird, 6Storage, Monument, Web Self Storage, DoorSwap, and OpenTech Alliance's INSOMNIAC call-center and gate-access products, and exposes a public REST API for third-party access.

DaVinci generates revenue through two streams: one-time hardware sales of the proprietary locks (with a one-year warranty) and recurring SaaS subscriptions tiered by lock count. Subscription tiers are Basic ($5 monthly base fee plus $1 per active lock, covering 1-54 locks), Plus ($60 monthly flat for 55-150 locks), Unlimited ($110 monthly flat for unlimited locks), and a Profit tier offered at $0 monthly. All paid tiers include the DaVinci Lock and Tenant Connect core features. Go-to-market is sales-led, with HubSpot-driven demo bookings complemented by an e-commerce storefront and an authorized reseller program. The customer base is concentrated in self-storage facility operators, with named enterprise logos including Public Storage, 10 Federal Storage (which publicly attributed a $14M value increase to the DaVinci deployment), StoreSafe, Storage King, and Otter.

The company has raised approximately $3.22 million in cumulative disclosed funding, including an SEC Form D filing in 2023 for $2,978,990 and a $238,987 round from Triangle Tweener Fund in March 2025. It remains privately held under founder/independent ownership with no disclosed institutional investor roster. The technology is protected by U.S. patents, and the locks are exclusively compatible with the DaVinci software platform per the company's terms of service, creating a closed-loop hardware-software bundle that produces meaningful switching costs once deployed at scale.

Core offering

DaVinci Lock manufactures and sells a patented mechanical combination lock system paired with cloud-based management software for self-storage facility operators. The platform automates tenant unlock code delivery via SMS and email, provides a QR-code-based tenant self-service portal (Tenant Connect), and offers gate access technology (G.O.A.T.) without requiring wifi, power, Bluetooth, or apps.

Product overview

DaVinci Lock offers a unified platform of three core products for self-storage operators: the DaVinci Lock (patented mechanical combination lock with intelligent software), Tenant Connect (tenant self-service web portal), and The G.O.A.T. (gate access technology). The ecosystem includes supporting sub-products like the Mobile App (iOS/Android), OverlockRelease.com portal (tenant-facing code retrieval), and the Overlock Release Portal (operator configuration). The platform integrates with multiple facility management software systems and automates tenant notifications, lock status updates, and payment processing workflows.

Emerging players

• Latch: Latch builds smart-access hardware and software primarily for multifamily residential buildings, addressing the same cloud-managed lock-code workflow DaVinci serves. It represents an adjacent vertical with similar product mechanics and an enterprise SaaS motion.
• SALTO Systems: SALTO produces electronic smart locks and cloud access management (SALTO KS) for commercial, hospitality, and residential markets. While not focused on self-storage, it competes in the same smart-lock SaaS category and represents a potential alternative for multi-vertical operators.
• Brivo: Brivo provides cloud-based access control and video management for commercial real estate, multifamily, and storage facilities. It competes with DaVinci at the cloud access layer and shares a similar SaaS go-to-market, though at broader scope and larger scale.

Broad incumbents

• Storable: Storable is a leading self-storage FMS (Storable Edge, Storable Easy) and a current DaVinci integration partner. It owns the operator relationship and tenant data that DaVinci relies on, giving it the option to bundle or build competing lock-code and access features that could squeeze DaVinci.
• Janus International Group: Janus is the dominant U.S. self-storage building products and access-control hardware supplier, selling doors, Nokē smart locks, and facility technology to the same operator customer base as DaVinci. It is a much larger incumbent that bundles locks, doors, and technology into broader facility build-outs.
• ASSA ABLOY: ASSA ABLOY is the world's largest lock and access-control manufacturer, with brands like Medeco, Yale, and HID serving commercial real estate, multifamily, and self-storage. It is a broad incumbent that could enter DaVinci's niche at scale through distribution or acquisition.

Direct peers

• PTI Security Systems: PTI provides electronic access control, keypads, and facility management software for self-storage operators globally — overlapping DaVinci on keypad access, code distribution, and FMS-level integration. It is one of the most direct competitors in self-storage access hardware and software.
• RemoteLock: RemoteLock offers cloud-based access control for smart locks across self-storage, vacation rental, and commercial real estate — overlapping DaVinci on cloud-managed locks and tenant access codes. It competes in the same SaaS access-control category with broader vertical reach.
• OpenTech Alliance: OpenTech's INSOMNIAC kiosks, call center services, and CIA gate-access platform serve the same self-storage operators as DaVinci and are already a DaVinci integration partner. It is an adjacent competitor in tenant access and self-service, with overlapping channels into the same buyer.
• Noke (by Creative Products Inc.): Noke sells Bluetooth smart padlocks and an access-management platform with similar SMS / mobile-code tenant workflows to DaVinci Lock's lock code distribution. It competes head-to-head in the self-storage and asset-tracking verticals where DaVinci is strongest.
