With criminals becoming more technologically savvy we have to do our best to stay ahead of them and protect our bottom line. Keyless entry systems, virtual keys and mobile lock control represent the new generation in security. There are a number of different options available when considering a keyless entry system. The most common being stand alone “cypher” or “code” locks like the Trilogy or Simplex. However, will they be a thing of the past?
New technological advances are happening with the door and lock industry all the time. In 2004 we saw the introduction of the Hi-O (Highly Intelligent Opening) – it was a new concept for electronic door locking solutions that simplified installation, service and upgrade.
Then in 2008 Assa Abloy launched the Aperio ™ wireless lock technology, which is the smart technology that enables mechanical locks to be wirelessly linked to a new or existing access control system. We are confident that access control locks will continue to evolve as the wave of the future and will become increasingly easier to install and use.
As you select the keyless entry system that makes sense for your organization, be sure to consider both your current and perceived future needs. Is the system easily reprogrammable? Can the hardware be retrofitted without a major headache? Can the system handle the capacity you need? If you have any questions, LockNet is here to help you wade through the sea of products to select the one that is best for you.
