The People

Meet Sarah and Maria

👩‍💼
Sarah
Homeowner · Sydney, NSW
"I need someone to clean my house every fortnight, but I don't want to leave a spare key under the mat or give out a permanent code. I want to know exactly when they come and go."
👩‍🔧
Maria
Professional Cleaner
"I visit dozens of homes each week. I just need a simple way to get in, do my job, and leave — without carrying a bunch of keys or waiting around for someone to let me in."
Step by Step

Here's exactly what happens

1

Sarah · Owner Books a cleaning session

Sarah books Maria for Thursday 10am–12pm. The night before, she opens the Buckko Locks app to prepare Maria's access.

2

Sarah · Owner Creates a one-time passcode

In the app, Sarah goes to Passcodes → Add Passcode. She sets the type to "One-Time Use", valid only on Thursday between 9:30am–1:00pm. The app generates a 6-digit code: 847 291

3

Sarah · Owner Sends the code to Maria

Sarah copies the code and sends it to Maria via SMS — just like sending any message. No app required on Maria's end.

4

Maria · Cleaner Arrives Thursday morning

Maria arrives at 10:05am and types 847291 on the lock keypad at the front door. The lock beeps — and opens. She's in.

5

Buckko Locks Notifies Sarah instantly

Sarah is at her office when she gets a push notification: "Front Door unlocked by Passcode at 10:05am." She knows Maria is in — without being there.

6

Maria · Cleaner Finishes and leaves

Maria completes the clean at 11:50am and leaves, pulling the door shut behind her. The auto-lock feature re-locks the door automatically after 30 seconds.

7

Buckko Locks Code is permanently expired

Maria tries the same code the following week out of habit — the lock rejects it. The one-time code is gone forever. Sarah's home is secure.
