Lockers that open from a phone.
Steel lockers and storage cabinets, supplied and installed across Singapore — running on a keyless access platform we built and already operate. No keys to cut. No cards to issue. Nobody at a counter handing anything out.
And when a keyed cam lock or a battery keypad is what your room actually needs, we fit those too, and say so. See all three tiers →

Quick answer: what Latchwork is
Latchwork supplies, installs and operates lockers and steel storage cabinets in Singapore. Two things are on offer: the cabinets themselves — member lockers, changing lockers, parcel lockers, device charging cabinets, storage cupboards, secure cabinets and shelving — and the locks that go on them, at three tiers. Keyed cam locks and padlock hasps need no power and no subscription. Battery keypad and card locks run offline with no wiring. Our own connected smart access lets a member open a compartment by scanning a QR code or entering a PIN, and adds assignment management, automatic fee collection, timed release and a log of every opening. Latchwork is the trading name of GX TECH PTE. LTD. (UEN 202503838W), a registered Singapore company.
Pick the lock, not just the locker
Plenty of suppliers will sell you steel and a cam lock. We fit all three tiers of locking and tell you which one your room needs — including when that is the cheapest one. The top tier is our own software, and it is where a locker room stops being administered by hand.
Keyed & mechanical locks
The cheapest lock that works, and it works forever
A cam lock with two keys, a padlock hasp, a coin-return lock or a mechanical combination dial. No power, no batteries, no network, no subscription and nothing to go obsolete. For a great many cabinets this is not a compromise — it is the correct specification, and we quote it without trying to talk you upward.
Lowest per compartment
Digital keypad & card locks
No keys, no wiring, no subscription
A battery-powered lock fitted to each door with its own keypad, RFID reader or fingerprint sensor. It runs entirely offline: nothing is connected to anything, there is no controller, no socket and no monthly fee. This is the tier most sites underestimate, and for day-use rooms and student lockers it is very often the sweet spot.
Mid — hardware only, no recurring fee
Connected smart access
The locker room administers itself
Electronic latches wired to a controller at the end of the bank, running on the Latchwork platform. Users open by QR scan, PIN, existing access card or a staff remote release. What you are buying is not the unlocking — that is the easy part — but assignment management, automatic fee collection, timed release, access rules per bank and a log of every opening.
Highest — hardware per compartment plus an annual subscription per bank
On the smart tier, four steps and no keys
The whole cycle, from the moment a compartment is assigned to the moment a rule ends the assignment. Step four is the one no keyed or offline lock can do, and the reason most locker rooms degrade.
The platform is already running unattended
The Latchwork access platform is not a prototype. It is the same platform that has been running unmanned professional tennis ball machine cabinets at ActiveSG Sport Village @ Jurong Town since day one, under our Tennis Machine SG brand — users book, pay and unlock entirely from their phone, at any hour, with nobody on duty. Applying it to member and staff storage is new, and we would rather say so than imply an installed base we do not yet have.
What that means for you: the awkward parts — verifying a user, taking payment, releasing a latch over the network, handling somebody who cannot get in at 11pm — are solved and in service, not on a roadmap.

Eight families, from smart member lockers through to plain store-room shelving. Every one carries standard sizes with real dimensions, every one can be made to order, and the badge on each card shows which lock tiers it can be ordered at.
- Keyed
- Digital
- Connected (our default specification)
Member Lockers
Assigned storage, with the lock the room actually needs
Full-height steel lockers in 2 to 24 compartments per bank, assigned to named members. Order them with keyed cam locks at the lowest cost per compartment, with battery keypad locks so nothing has to be cut or carried, or — the reason most clubs come to us — on the Latchwork platform, where members open with a QR scan or PIN, fees collect themselves and access ends the day a membership lapses.

Changing Room & Staff Lockers
The proven steel locker, at whichever lock tier suits
Conventional full-height changing lockers in 2 to 24 compartments, built for wet areas and daily churn. Cam locks and padlock hasps at the lowest cost per compartment, battery keypad locks where the real problem is keys going missing, or connected latches where the room has to clear itself at closing. The shells are identical, so the lock is a decision you can revisit without replacing a cabinet.

- Connected (our default specification)
Parcel & Deposit Lockers
Unattended handover, logged end to end
Multi-compartment banks with a controller, screen and keypad built in, for anything that has to change hands without two people being present. Deliveries, dry cleaning, equipment returns, key handovers and day bags all work the same way: one party drops and locks, the other gets a code, and the platform records both ends.

- Keyed
- Digital (our default specification)
- Connected
Device & Charging Lockers
Phones and devices stored, charged and accounted for
High-density compartment cabinets with a mains socket inside every cell, so a device charges while it is locked away. Used where phones must be surrendered — examination halls, secure meeting rooms, clean rooms, production floors — and for pooled tablets, radios and scanners that have to come back charged.

Bespoke Equipment Lockers
Purpose-built housings for the awkward, valuable and shared
Where a catalogue compartment will not do, we build the housing around the item. This is the line Latchwork grew out of: our first cabinets were designed to hold, charge and dispense professional tennis ball machines unattended at a public sports centre, and the same approach applies to anything bulky, powered or shared between many users.

- Keyed (our default specification)

Storage Cabinets & Cupboards
The general-purpose steel cupboard, done properly
Two-door cupboards, filing and archive cabinets, glass-fronted display units and low credenzas — the everyday storage that fills back offices, committee rooms, stores and clinic corridors. Keyed as standard and unglamorous, but the part of a fit-out that gets used every day and is noticed when it is flimsy.

- Keyed
- Digital (our default specification)

Secure & Document Cabinets
For records, valuables and media that must not walk
Heavier-gauge cabinets with standalone electronic combination, fingerprint or card locks, plus anti-magnetic media safes for backup tapes and drives. Specified where the requirement is not simply "lockable" but demonstrably controlled — personal data under the PDPA, cash and valuables, controlled stock, or master keys. Where "demonstrably" has to mean a written record, the same cabinet goes on the platform.

- Keyed (our default specification)
Shelving & Bulk Storage
Store rooms that hold more and stay tidy
Boltless light-duty shelving through to heavy pallet racking, plus mobile compact shelving that runs on floor tracks to recover the aisles. This is the least glamorous part of the range and often the highest-value: most store rooms we survey are holding half of what the same floor area could take.
Sizes & specification →Who this is for
The hardware barely changes between these. The rules, the compartment mix and who administers it change completely.
Private & Members' Clubs
A locker scheme worth the membership fee
- Members open their locker with a phone, at any hour, without approaching the desk
- Assignments, renewals and the waiting list live in one dashboard the committee can see
- Locker fees collected automatically by card, with access ending when payment or membership lapses
Condominiums & MCSTs
Storage and parcel handling that creates no work for the office
- Parcels handled without the office touching them, with a timestamped record of every drop and collection
- Gym and pool lockers on keypad codes, ending the padlock problem without a subscription
- Secure bulky-item storage that gets strollers and bikes out of common corridors
Gyms & Fitness Studios
Day lockers that never need a key at the desk
- No keys at the desk, and no key cutting, ever — from keypad locks upward
- Day lockers release automatically at closing time, so the room turns over by itself (connected tier)
- Assigned monthly lockers sold as a paid add-on, billed automatically by card (connected tier)
Sports & Recreation Facilities
Where we started — unmanned equipment access that works
- Equipment issued and returned at any hour with no staff present
- Charge state monitored, so a unit is held back until it is actually usable
- A record of who had which item, and when it came back
Offices & Coworking
Desk sharing only works if people have somewhere to put things
- Day lockers claimed on arrival and released automatically at end of day
- Assigned lockers provisioned and revoked centrally — offboarding is a click
- Device charging cabinets for pooled tablets, laptops and phones
Schools & Campuses
Storage that survives a thousand students a day
- Keypad codes instead of keys, with no locks to cut, no deposits to hold and no subscription
- Bulk reassignment of a whole year group in one operation
- Phone storage and charging cabinets that make a device policy workable
Two ways to buy
Own the lockers, or let us own them and operate them for you. Neither is the better answer in general — it depends on whether you have capital approval and whether you want the locker revenue.
Supply & install
You own the lockers
We specify, supply, deliver and install the cabinets, fit the access hardware, and license you the platform on an annual subscription per bank. The asset is yours, capitalised with the rest of the fit-out, and any locker fees you charge are entirely your revenue.
Usually suits
- Fit-outs and refurbishments where lockers go in with everything else
- Offices, schools and campuses procuring through a quotation or tender
- Clubs capitalising a locker room refurbishment
- Anyone who wants to keep 100% of the locker fee revenue
The trade-off: It costs money up front, and lockers are a capital item that has to be approved. In exchange the cost per locker over five years is lower than any managed arrangement, and the revenue is all yours.
Managed lockers
We fund, install and operate
We pay for the cabinets, install them, insure them, service them, and handle every user query and payment. You provide the space and a socket. You receive a monthly rental, or a share of the locker revenue generated at your site, and there is no capital outlay at all.
Usually suits
- Condominiums and MCSTs, where a capital vote is the obstacle
- Clubs wanting the amenity without a paper to the committee
- Sports venues running unattended equipment access
- Anyone who wants to trial a locker scheme before committing to one
The trade-off: You do not own the asset, and we take the locker revenue in exchange for carrying the cost and the work. Over many years, buying is cheaper. Over the first year, this costs you nothing and can be stopped.
Common questions
What does Latchwork do?
Latchwork supplies, installs and operates lockers and steel storage cabinets in Singapore. Two things are on offer: the cabinets themselves — member lockers, changing lockers, parcel lockers, device charging cabinets, storage cupboards, secure cabinets and shelving — and the locks that go on them, at three tiers. Keyed cam locks and padlock hasps need no power and no subscription. Battery keypad and card locks run offline with no wiring. Our own connected smart access lets a member open a compartment by scanning a QR code or entering a PIN, and adds assignment management, automatic fee collection, timed release and a log of every opening. Latchwork is the trading name of GX TECH PTE. LTD. (UEN 202503838W), a registered Singapore company.
How is this different from buying lockers from a furniture supplier?
A furniture supplier delivers steel and leaves. The steel is the easy half. What actually goes wrong with a locker room is administrative: keys walk off, the assignment list drifts out of date, day lockers get squatted, locker fees go uncollected, and departures leave lockers occupied by people who left. Latchwork supplies the cabinets and, where you need it, the platform that handles all of that — assignments, automatic fee collection, timed release, access rules and a log of every opening. That platform is software we built and run ourselves, not a badge on someone else's product. We also quote plain keyed lockers where that is genuinely the right answer, and say so.
Do we have to buy the smart system?
No. Roughly half of what we quote is conventional: keyed cam locks on cupboards and filing, padlock hasps in changing rooms, battery keypad locks on school and gym lockers. On three of our eight product families a keyed lock is what we recommend by default, before you tell us anything about your site. The connected platform is the reason most people call us and it is genuinely better where assignments churn or money changes hands, but a supplier whose answer is always the most expensive option is not advising you.
Do members need to install an app?
No. On the connected tier everything happens in the phone's browser — the member points their camera at the QR code on the door and a page opens that already knows which compartment it is. Requiring an app install is where locker schemes lose their least technical users, and those are exactly the members who then complain to the committee. A numeric PIN on the keypad at the end of the bank works for anyone who would rather not use a phone at all, and the lower tiers involve no phone whatsoever.
Can we keep our existing lockers and just change the locks?
Usually yes, and it is much cheaper than replacement. The same cam lock cut-out that takes a battery keypad lock will also take a connected electronic latch with a controller at the end of the bank, so you can stop at whichever tier solves your problem. We survey a sample door before quoting, because door thickness and latch geometry decide whether the kit fits. If your lockers are too thin-gauge, too old or too corroded to hold a latch reliably, we will tell you that rather than sell a kit that will fail within a year.
What does it cost?
Cabinets are quoted per project because the price is driven by compartment count, gauge, finish, which lock tier you choose, and how difficult the site is to install in. As a rough guide, keyed steel lockers start in the low hundreds of dollars per compartment; battery keypad locks add a modest per-compartment cost and no recurring fee; connected access adds more per compartment plus an annual platform subscription per bank. Under the managed model there is no capital cost to you at all. Our pricing page explains what moves the number, which is more useful than a headline figure we would have to withdraw at survey.
How long does delivery and installation take?
Standard sizes in standard finishes typically run six to eight weeks including sea freight and installation in Singapore. Custom colours add a powder-coat run and custom sizes add fabrication time. A lock retrofit on existing lockers is much faster — usually two to three weeks from order, and about a day per room on site, at either keyless tier. Anyone quoting a two-week lead time on a full new locker fit-out is either selling someone else's stock or air-freighting at a cost that will surface somewhere in your price.
Is Latchwork a real Singapore company?
Yes. Latchwork is the storage arm of GX TECH PTE. LTD., UEN 202503838W, registered in Singapore. The same company operates Tennis Machine SG, whose unmanned equipment cabinets at ActiveSG Sport Village @ Jurong Town run on the same access platform described here. That deployment is our proof that the platform works unattended in a public venue; the storage range is newer, and we would rather say so plainly than imply an installed base we do not yet have.
What areas of Singapore do you cover?
All of Singapore. Site surveys, delivery, installation and servicing are island-wide, and there is no minimum distance or zone surcharge.
