Electrical locks
The electrical locks enable the transition from mechanical to electrical lock. The locks provide increased security with access control so that you can monitor who had access in, for example, technology cabinets via a code,
Bluetooth or rfid card. The electrical locks have a versatile variation in design for both industrial doors to smaller gaps or for confined spaces in 5G connected cities such as payment station or in data centers.
Feature
Gives users full monitoring on who opened and closed a door. The lock can be combined with one or more lock units and can be integrated into the existing lock system, adapted to the application. These locks are vandal -proof because the lock can be installed hidden which makes it more difficult to break in.
