The SALTO Neoxx Padlock is a versatile locking solution that enables users to benefit from the advantages of electronic access control where previously it was only possible to use a mechanical locking solution (i.e., perimeter or fire access gates, industrial equipment yards and residential storage areas).

Smart padlocks offer more security, easier maintenance, flexible access methods, and a better overview of the lock’s and user’s activity.
