Would you install a remote locking system on your storage units?

[Fawzi Mudawwar]

Picture a storage facility in which renters can lock and unlock their units using an app. The renter can still unlock the unit using a key, but the app would provide the user with the following advantages:

1.  Ability to unlock the unit remotely
2.  Ability to delegate access to a family member or a friend
3.  Historical record of every time the unit was opened

I have the following questions for owners of storage facilities:

1.  Do you think that the above points would add value to your facility? Would you consider this product?
2.  Would you pay around $10 - $30 per electronic lock + installation? If so, what's a reasonable price point for you?
3.  Would you pay around $1.5 - $3 subscription fee per month per lock? If so, what's a reasonable price point for you?
4.  Do you currently have electricity and internet access at your facility?

All answers are very much appreciated. Also, if anyone's interested in further discussing this concept with me, please reach out. My background is in electronics and software, so I plan on making this happen if there's a decent market for it.
