SIMPLICITY, SUSTAINABILITY AND DRIVING PROFIT: WHAT’S COMING IN 2026
Drawing on insights from Codelocks’ leaders across four continents, Global Director of Marketing at Codelocks, Ros Bayliss, explores with the Codelocks team how customer needs are changing in access control, the shift from locks as an expense to a revenue generator, and how the industry is balancing innovation with simplicity while meeting rising sustainability demands. In the eyes of some, locks are simply used for keeping people out, and for keeping the contents of a building, cabinet or locker safe. But as we know at Codelocks, access control is about so much more than that. It’s about managing spaces
and giving people convenient access in ways that can transform how a building or space works and feels. That’s one of the reasons we rarely talk about ‘security’, if at all. If you focus on access control as being simply about protection, then you’re likely to see locks and other access control solutions as just a cost – an expense line on a balance sheet. You’d also overlook one of the biggest changes impacting the industry, and the first of several trends shaping access control in 2026: the change from a cost centre to a revenue generator.
