ACCESS CONTROL
“ The reliability of the product is probably the highest of any I have experienced . Anytime you use the features it has always functioned as needed . Internet down ? Lock still works . Power outage ? Lock still works .” excellent service from several members at Codelocks earnestly looking to help me .”
Alfredo Mondragon , Senior Technician at Codelocks , commented , “ Considering the flexibility and time-sensitive access that Cage Riot Studios needed , combined with the importance of reliability , we suggested the CL5010 NetCode ®. It ’ s a robust lock that ’ s been successfully installed in other music studios and similar applications .”
The CL5010 NetCode ® is a heavy-duty electronic mortice tubular latch lock equipped with Codelocks ’ NetCode ® Technology that allows users to generate date and time-sensitive temporary access codes shareable via email or SMS . The mortice lock is part of the CL5000 NetCode ® Range . The codes are generated effortlessly through Codelocks ’ Connect Portal , or can be integrated into bespoke software using the Codelocks API . NetCodes can be created to allow access for one hour or up to one year , and can be configured for single- or multi-use .
The electronic lock is battery-powered and will operate 200,000 times per battery set . No internet connection is required for customers ’ codes to work , and the process is fully remote and enables self-service access without
the need for keys or fobs . In case of forgotten codes , the CL5210 has ‘ master code ’ access and code-free , keyed entry .
‘ I remembered these brushed-steel locks by Codelocks that needed no lengthy instruction or complicated methods to open , and they always worked !’
Pitch-perfect , self-service results
Cage Riot can now effortlessly and remotely manage access control for musicians and artists using its recording and rehearsal studios through a simple process . Musicians book a time slot through the Cage Riot Studio website , then studio managers log into the Codelocks Connect Portal to create a one-time access code for their booking . The studio manager then emails the code to the musicians , who then have hasslefree , self-service access to the space as soon as they arrive at the studio .
Having self-service access is something customers appreciate a lot , which has led to an enhanced overall customer experience . “ The customers love that there is no unnecessary interaction with a staff member ”, said Craig . Adding , “ Our customer experience is rated higher because we have Codelocks .”
Staff at Cage Riot Studios appreciate the dependability and reliability of Codelocks ’ lock too . As Craig commented , “ The reliability of the product is probably the highest of any I have experienced . Anytime you use the features it has always functioned as needed . Internet down ? Lock still works . Power outage ? Lock still works .”
An additional benefit for the studio is a direct cost saving . Because access is controlled remotely , Cage Riot Studios does not need to have staff at the studio at all times . “ Less staff means less overhead and that translates to lower costs ”, explained Craig . This has led to a more efficient use of the studio ’ s time and resources .
Ultimately , Cage Riot Studios wanted a lock that bucked the trend of their personal negative past experiences accessing studios , and Codelocks ’ CL5010 NetCode ® certainly does . Craig summed up his positive experience by saying , “ If you want your money ’ s worth in a product that performs as described and expected , in an industrial and repeated use environment , this product will not let you down .”
