Gym access
that runs
itself.

Members pay online, the door opens. They stop paying, it doesn't. No keys, no spreadsheets, no chasing invoices — just a small device on your door and software that handles the rest.

How it works

Up and running in three steps.

Everything you need ships in a box. No IT department, no contractor, no drama.

01

Install the device

We ship a Raspberry Pi relay unit to your door. Mount it inside the frame, connect it to your electric strike, plug into power and Wi-Fi. Most installs take under two hours with no electrician.

02

Set your price

Log in, name your gym, and choose your monthly membership rate. We connect to your Stripe account so every payment lands in your bank account. No accounting software required.

03

Share the link

Text or email your invite link. Members sign up, pay by card, and get instant door access. You see every unlock and payment from your dashboard.

Features

Everything a small gym actually needs.

No bloat. No booking system you'll never use. No CRM. Just the core tools that keep your doors open for paying members and closed for everyone else.

Automatic access control

The moment a member pays, they get door access. The moment their subscription lapses, access is revoked automatically. Zero manual work on your end.

Live unlock history

See who opened the door, when, and from which session. A full audit trail is always available from your dashboard — useful if anything ever goes sideways.

Member management

Invite members by email, remove them instantly, rename doors, and see who's active or overdue — all from one clean dashboard. No CSV exports required.

Stripe-powered payouts

Payments go straight into your Stripe-connected bank account. We show your monthly recurring revenue right on the dashboard. You invoice nothing — Stripe does it.

Unlock from any phone

Members tap Unlock in their mobile browser — no app to download. Works on iOS and Android. The door opens in under two seconds from tap to click.

Secure by design

Unlock commands expire in 10 seconds and are validated server-side before the relay fires. The door defaults to locked if the Pi loses connectivity.

From gym owners

What gym owners say.

★★★★★

“I used to spend Sunday evenings texting members who hadn't paid. Now I don't think about it at all — if they've paid, the door opens. If they haven't, it doesn't. Simple.”

Sarah K.

Strength & Co, Wellington

★★★★★

“Setup was genuinely easier than I expected. The device arrived pre-configured, I wired it up in about an hour, and we had our first member paying online the same afternoon.”

Marcus T.

The Barbell Club, Auckland

★★★★★

“The unlock history is something I didn't know I needed. Knowing exactly who's been in and when has made the whole place feel more professional — for us and for members.”

Pricing

One price. No surprises.

First month free while we get set up together.

You keep your revenue.

Payments go straight from your members into your Stripe-connected bank account. We never hold your money. Payouts are on Stripe's schedule — usually 2 business days.

You set your membership price.

Charge whatever the market will bear. $30/month, $150/month — it's your gym. We'll show you your live MRR on the dashboard.

No per-member fee from us.

Grow to 5 members or 500 — the door subscription stays the same. The percentage fee on payments covers Stripe processing costs, so there's nothing hidden.

FAQ

Questions we get asked.

What hardware is included?+
We ship you a Raspberry Pi 4 with a relay HAT pre-installed and pre-configured with the Latch software. You supply the electric door strike — most deadbolts and electromagnetic locks are compatible. We're happy to recommend options for your setup.
Do I need to hire an electrician?+
For most electric strikes, no. The Latch device runs at 12V DC via a standard wall adapter — safe to install yourself. If your door uses a 240V mains-powered lock, you'll want an electrician to wire the strike itself. Latch handles everything from there.
What happens if the internet goes down?+
The door stays closed. The Pi only fires the relay after receiving a validated command from our servers — there's no way to spoof an unlock offline. This is a deliberate security choice. Your gym is locked, not open, if the network drops.
How do members unlock the door?+
They open latchapp.co.nz in any mobile browser and tap the Unlock button. No app to download. The request validates against our server, the Pi receives it via a real-time connection, and the relay fires in under two seconds.
Can I run multiple doors?+
Yes. Each door is its own device and $200/month subscription. Members with access to your org can unlock any door you've set up. A chooser screen when you have multiple doors is on the roadmap.
How and when do I get paid?+
Members pay via Stripe Checkout. After Stripe and Latch fees, the money lands in your connected bank account on Stripe's normal schedule — typically 2 business days for NZ accounts.
Can I set my own membership price?+
Yes, completely. You choose the monthly price members pay when you set up your gym. You can update it any time — existing members keep their current rate, new sign-ups see the new price.
What if I want to cancel?+
Email us. We'll cancel your subscription immediately, export your member data on request, and there's no cancellation fee. You keep the hardware. No minimum term.
