Every door is worth
more than you think.
Access control has always been a cost of doing business. This is the financial case for making it a profit engine — modelled on a 500-door facility, with the math shown.
One equation runs
this whole industry.
NOI is your net operating income — what the facility earns after operating expenses, before debt and taxes. At a 6.5% cap rate, every additional $1,000 of monthly NOI adds roughly $185,000 in asset value. Every justified fee and every staff-hour saved is a direct path to equity — without buying another property.
Five possible levers
of NOI growth.
Not every operator pulls all five — these are examples of what BluLok makes possible, with the reference math for a 500-door site. Mix and match to fit your market.
Technology setup fee
A one-time setup & digital-key activation fee at booking — typically $29. On a 500-door site turning 1.5× a year, that's ≈ $18,500 of near-pure margin.
Monthly technology fee
$5 a month for digital entry and account control. 425 active tenants ≈ $25,500 of recurring NOI, every year.
Staff time reclaimed
Overlocks, removals and resets happen from a dashboard — not with a walk and a key. That's ≈ 200 staff-hours a year, and every one of them goes back into the work that actually fills units: answering phones, chasing leads, closing rentals.
Hardware & maintenance
No keys to cut, cylinders to swap, or service calls to roll. $2–3 per door per year ≈ $1,000–1,500 on a 500-door site.
BluAI Revenue Assist
Every BluLok in the field is already collecting access data. As the network grows, BluAI will surface pricing, utilization and upsell opportunities operators can act on. We're deliberately not counting that upside yet — but it's why the hardware is just the beginning.
