Abstract: At a facility or system of facilities wherein desks in associated facilities are rented or assigned to individuals on a temporary basis, sometimes called a distributed desk facility, electronic locks are provided for the desks and associated cabinets to be used by renters or employees. Via a server either at the facility or in communication with the facility, a system-registered user reserves a desk via smartphone. With the reservation are the user's credentials along with time, date and duration for use of a desk. The server sends a token code to the user's smartphone. At the appointed time, the user accesses a user's lock or locks via the smartphone which transmits the token code to open or unopen the lock or locks. A reservation can simply be for any desk at a facility.
