High-Security Electronic Locks for Intelligent Management Solutions
Technology for business security continues to evolve, and Citadel remains at the forefront of providing and installing intelligent locking systems for powerful protection of people and property.
Smart key systems now provide what once only hard-wired access control systems were able to. With today’s wire-free intelligent keys, you can control, track, schedule, change and audit facility access with total ease.
Intelligent keys can operate as their own system or complement existing conventional access control. With an intelligent locking system, you can:
- Electronically program keys for access only to a specific lock or group of locks during a certain time. The schedule also can contain an expiration that disables access until the system is audited and programmed.
- Simplify access efficiency. Authorized personnel can have one intelligent key for locks instead of multiple standard keys on a ring.
- Record every authorized access and unauthorized attempt in both the intelligent key and the lock.
- Change access quickly in response to security threats, lost or stolen keys, and changes in staff. Electronic rekeying eliminates the need to physically change locks and keys.
- Store detailed access information for company records and auditing. The data can be viewed as a spreadsheet or a graphic display. You can also retrieve audit information from the key whenever it is reprogrammed.
- Fortify intelligent keys with attack-resistant designs and tamper-proof features for even greater security against forced entry.
- Store and access all system programming, analytics and audit reports on the cloud.
Intelligent locking systems further allow you to check system status and manage settings remotely, receive alerts for events you specify, and open or close doors from any location, even if you are in another country or state. If you have a mobile workforce with intelligent keys, you can update access rights quickly and easily with a smartphone as well.
Upgrading to your smart key system is simple—you need only replace existing cylinders with the new smart cylinders.
