ACCESS CONTROL
Bespoke locking solutions for all your summer projects
With every passing season , different locking needs arise . Sometimes they ’ re common applications , while other times they may be first-of-its kind scenarios .
» THE SUMMER IS NO EXCEPTION TO this rule . The season of holidays , hot weather , and taking indoor activities outdoors calls for different access control needs , tailored to unique scenarios and often built in to integrated solutions .
As many locksmiths and installers know , finding the right lock is paramount and it begins by identifying the precise needs and requirements of each case .
School ’ s out , refurb time !
When students are taking a break from learning , it gives caretakers the opportunity to carry out refurbishments without disrupting classes . These refurbishments often include replacing tired lockers and any locks located in high-traffic areas .
Due to the number of people that require access to different areas within an education facility , caretakers and maintenance teams need to be able to selectively control access . Teachers and maintenance staff may need to be on campus during the holidays , so any new locks installed must be capable of being managed remotely .
Codelocks CL5000 NetCode is ideal for heavy-duty , high-traffic school applications where the building managers need to be able to grant or revoke access remotely . They can use the Codelocks Connect Portal to give staff access to new locks even while they ’ re off campus , and the locks are robust enough to withstand heavy usage without a problem .
The added benefit of an access control solution like this is its use of Codelocks ’ NetCode technology , which enables caretakers , headteachers and education facility managers to issue time-sensitive temporary codes . Access codes can be issued remotely to contracted tradespeople so that they can enter the required areas only without being accompanied . Once any work is completed , the code and their temporary access will expire .
