Do Connected Locking smart lock systems require a specific door handle?

What are the different types of smart lock systems and how do they work?

We offer three different types of smart lock systems:

  • Access Code Managed locks – these locks allow you to generate codes online which can then be used with the lock. The new code immediately replaces the old code that was assigned to it by the previous user.
  • App Managed locks – using an app, you add users and assign the locks to them, which they can then access using an allocated RFID card or credential.

Live Web Managed locks – these locks are ideal for those who need real-time control of their locks. You can control and monitor your locks through a secure cloud-based portal and can assign users to locks all in one place.
