Access control specialist Codelocks has launched its new electronic lock, the KitLockNano.
The company says its latest product is engineered with a stronger build and delivers improved performance and functionality, while maintaining the same ultra-small footprint as the original.
The lock can be used in commercial facilities to control access to lockers, cabinets and drawers, particularly useful in co-working spaces and hospitality settings.
The KitLockNano ‘private function’ allows repeated use of the same code for dedicated users, while the ‘public function’ enables temporary four-digit codes that automatically erase after use.
A red/blue LED indicator provides an at-a-glance locked/unlocked status. It features a key override for greater control, especially in emergency situations.
“The key override remains accessible, making it simple for building and facilities managers to regain access if needed. This makes it a perfect solution for a whole range of applications, from hot desking offices to fly-in-fly-out personal storage,” Codelocks Asia Pacific regional director Mark Samuelson says.
Installation of the KitLockNano is simple, as the lock easily retrofits into existing cam lock placements using just two additional fixings.
New installations require only three small holes, allowing locksmiths and installers to fit the lock quickly. It is available in vertical or right-hand horizontal orientations.
It is powered by two AAA batteries and can perform up to 15,000 operations per battery cycle. It features a low-battery indicator function, and has comprehensive code management with Master, Sub-Master and Technician.
The lock is IP54 rated and equipped with a key override that is protected by a dust cover over the key cylinder.
“[The lock is ideal for] accommodation storage, university colleges or any facility where you’ve got a mix of regular and temporary users. Because it’s coded, there’s also no need to chase up keys or pay to have new ones made every time one is lost. That’s a lot of time and money saved too,” Samuelson says.
Earlier this year, Codelocks launched its CL500KEY mechanical lock designed for heavy-duty use in high-traffic areas. The CL500KEY is available in a range of models, including mortice latch and mortice locks with and without code-free access.
