Electronic lock functions
- The system provides access to a room or restricted area to any number of persons. The technology allows issuing keycards for as many users as needed. For example, the same hotel room may share 1-2 or more guests. Besides, some hotel employees also need to enter the room. If we are talking about an office, all employees, service personnel, delivery service workers can use their keycards to open the same doors.
- Setting time limits. It is possible to restrict using each particular keycard according to working hours. The system provides many limiting parameters: the shift, days off, until a certain date, etc. This variability allows issuing keycards for all categories of employees and guests, as well as restricting access to certain periods.
- Closing and opening control. The system includes two sensors due to which the lock controls whether the door has been closed. If the door remains half-opened and the locking mechanism has not worked, a person hears a sound signal. This system fully replaces a door closer. Electronic devices have additional protection against lock picking due to which it is impossible to enter a room as a result of pushing back the latch.
- The emergency unlock mode is also provided. If you need to urgently open a door without using a keycard, you can use an emergency mechanical key from the outside. The mechanical key is supplied with the lock system. A guest, a visitor or an employee can also open a door from the inside due to the anti-panic system in case of emergency.
- The "do not disturb" mode. A guest can use this option that temporarily prevents access of personnel to the hotel room. Keycards of maids synchronize with the lock and won't open the door if the function is activated. On the other hand, in case of emergency, the door can be opened from the outside. This option can be used when it is known that a guest needs help but cannot open the door themselves.
- Registering all the identifiers in the system. Electronic hostel locks integrated into the access control system transfer data on all opening-closing cycles including the time, keycard type and name of the keycard holder.
Convenience of using electronic locks
Fast keycard reading remains an important characteristic and takes only 0.25 seconds. This means that a tired guest or a hurrying employee does not have to waste time waiting for the door to be opened. By increasing comfort for guests and employees, the business owner contributes to the good image of the company.
For even more convenience, you can choose the form factor of the unlocking unit. It can be a regular keycard, a key fob, a tag, a bracelet, etc. This is especially important when it is required to provide long-term access to restricted areas, for example, to office rooms. As a result, the risk of losing the key is considerably reduced. Access may become even quicker if you choose electronic unlocking bracelets that are convenient to wear on the wrist.
Unlike all standard mechanical models, electronic locks suffer much less physical wear and can be operated much longer. If a key is lost, it is enough to issue a new card, which automatically blocks the old one. It is not needed to replace the lock or take any additional steps.
Business advantages of electronic locks
- Convenience (fast keycard reading, simple operation).
- Reliability (the locks are burglar- and failure-proof).
- Eliminating thefts (each entry and leaving a room is logged with all data concerning the keycard holder).
- Minimum expenses during operation. All you need is to have the battery set replaced once a year. There are no additional maintenance costs.
- Simple keycard issue. There is nothing easier to issue a new keycard instead of a lost one. Besides, when a guest leaves your hotel or hostel, there is no need to take the keycard back.
