How Nokē Smart Locks Work at Vail Airport Storage
Use the Nokē Smart Entry app for gate access and the built-in lock on enclosed storage units. Learn how to set up access, share it with people you authorize, and get help.
A traditional keyed padlock means managing a physical key and any spare copies. At Vail Airport Storage, enclosed storage units instead have built-in Nokē smart locks, so you do not need to buy or bring a separate padlock.
After your lease is signed, follow the setup instructions for the Nokē Smart Entry app. Use it for the gate and your enclosed unit. The gate also has a keypad backup; contact the team for help with the appropriate access instructions.
