Codelocks Delivers Standalone Access Control With Benefits of Electronics

The demand for standalone access controls continues to grow, as end-users seek low cost, high tech locking solutions for where wiring and power sources are not readily available. Programmable PIN-based electronic access provides the flexibility to change a code and deny access in moments without the delay and expense of rekeying.

Locksmiths who are out of their comfort zone with electronics are migrating to access control by starting to offer standalone solutions such as the Codelock 5210 and NetLock from Codelocks. These products offer the benefits of electronics, and the optional convenience of audit trails and remote management, using USB and Internet.
