Time-sensitive access for cabinet locks

by Mark Rowe

Codelocks, the manufacturer of standalone access control products, has added to its KitLock 1000 cabinet locks so that cabinet owners can grant temporary access to their cabinets by using time-sensitive access codes.

Grant Macdonald, Managing Director of Codelocks, said: “Many of our digital locks are used to restrict access to equipment locked inside cabinets, for example, data servers locked inside cabinet racks or machinery within utility cabinets. NetCode is a new web-based application that gives managers the ability to grant temporary access codes to a remote location, so an authorised engineer or customer can access their equipment unaccompanied.”

The application is the makers say useful for example where access is required for routine servicing or one-off maintenance purposes, where service engineers might visit many locations in one day. Using the application, a field service manager (FSM) can generate time-sensitive codes for the engineer to gain access to the locked cabinets. The code can be sent via an SMS text message or by email to the engineer’s mobile on the day the access is required. The company calls it a more secure way to grant access, as the code will not work outside a designated timeslot.

KL1000NC cabinet locks are configured before dispatch with a unique matching algorithm, allowing the NetCode software to predict the access codes on the lock. The locks are available in black or silver grey. For more product information – visit http://www.codelocks.co.uk/kitlock/kl1000-netcode-locker-lock.html or call Codelocks on 01635 239645.
