How it works

Up and running in an afternoon.

Everything ships in a box. No IT department, no contractor, no drama. Three steps and your gym runs itself.

01

Install the device

We ship a Raspberry Pi relay unit to your door, pre-configured with the Latch software. Mount it inside the door frame, connect it to your electric strike, and plug into power and Wi-Fi.

  • Device arrives pre-configured — no software setup required
  • Mounts inside the door frame with standard fixings
  • Connects to 12V electric door strikes (most gyms already have these)
  • Plugs into standard wall power via a USB-C adapter
  • Most installs take under two hours with no electrician
02

Configure your gym

Log in to your Latch dashboard, name your gym, connect your Stripe account, and set your monthly membership price. This takes about 10 minutes.

  • Connect your Stripe account — payments go directly to your bank
  • Set any membership price you want (you keep the majority)
  • Name your gym and doors
  • Your invite link is generated automatically
03

Share your invite link

Send your invite link to members by text, email, or Instagram. They click it, sign up, pay by card, and get instant door access — no app to download.

  • Members sign up and pay themselves — you do nothing
  • Access is granted the moment payment succeeds
  • Members unlock from latchapp.co.nz — no app needed
  • You see every unlock and payment from your dashboard

After setup

Then it runs without you.

Once your gym is live, Latch handles the ongoing admin automatically.

Monthly billing

Stripe charges members on their renewal date. Failed payments are retried automatically. Access is revoked only after retries are exhausted.

Access control

New members get access the moment they pay. Members who cancel or go overdue have access revoked automatically — no action required from you.

Member self-service

Members unlock from latchapp.co.nz whenever they visit. No fobs to replace, no pins to share, no app to update.
