Padlock 2E

PADLOCK 2E

Seamless, Secure Court Access, without the high costs

The Padlock 2E is a smart locking solution designed to work seamlessly with Book a Court, giving clubs a fully automated, keyless access system for gates. Eliminate manual access management and deliver a smooth experience for your members and casual users right from booking through to entry.

How it works

A player books a court via your clubs Clubspark website
A pin code is sent to the users email address or BookACourt app
The player unlocks the gate or facility using a pin code
Access expires automatically after the booking ends

No keys. No codes to manage. No manual intervention.

Key Benefits

✅Fully Automated Access

Integrates directly with Book a Court to grant and revoke access based on bookings, no admin required.

✅Secure & Time-Controlled

Access is only active during the booking window, reducing misuse and improving site security.

✅PIN Code Entry

No need for physical keys, tags, or shared PIN codes.

✅Easy Installation

The Padlock installs onto existing gates and enclosures with minimal infrastructure changes.

✅Smart Management

Club administrators maintain full visibility and control over access permissions via Clubspark and the lock app.

“Before moving to a digital system, we were juggling paper bookings, tracking keys, and dealing with constant uncertainty around court availability. It was time-consuming, inefficient, and limited our ability to grow the club.”

❌ Before implementing Book a Court and smart access (Padlock 2e), common issues include:

Difficulty managing and tracking physical keys
Paper-based or informal booking systems
No real visibility of court usage
Missed revenue from casual players
Member frustration around court availability
No data on who is using the courts

“We were relying on manual systems, managing keys every year, and didn’t really know who was using our courts or when.”

Together, online booking and smart access provide:

Member & Player Experience

24/7 online court booking
