What is “Access Control”?

Access Control is a term used to describe locking a door using a keypad, card, fob or other method of operation that isn’t a key. The method of locking can be simple mechanical digital locks, battery operated locks or hardwired systems.

Access Control includes the ability to unlock your door using your phone – a method also called Smart Locks. The main feature of access control is the ability to lock someone out without needing a key.

MyLocks supply everything necessary to lock and open a door with access control.

A mechanical digital lock is a great solution where there is no power and battery changes are not desirable.  There are some limitations though as most mechanical digital locks can only use each number once.  Some locks also have to be removed form the door to change the code.

Battery operated stand-alone digital locks offer more options when selecting a user code and can also allow you to have multiple users.  Codelocks’ NetCode system is ideal for Airbnb properties.  With this system you can create a code without even having to be near the door.

But if the door is going to be used a lot then hardwiring the system is definitely the best way to go.  This opens up huge flexibility in the method of locking and opening the door.  Keypads are just one means, MyLocks can also supply fob and card readers.  These are available from a range of manufacturers; from simple, stand-alone units; App based control; to fully networked software controlled systems.

All of the components needed to set up a system are available, including; push to exit buttons, emergency call points, power supply units and cabling.
