Assa Abloy says its new eCLIQ electronic locking system offers users’ reliable protection and maximum flexibility for a wide range of buildings and facilities’.
Featuring a ‘pioneering’ chip and 128-bit AES encryption, the system has been developed to offer high security and resistance to electronic attack. Its ‘proven technology and advanced microelectronics’ ensure quick and secure communication between lock and key, while the eCLIQ cylinders and programmable keys are reportedly ‘robust enough to withstand the harshest weather conditions’.
Assa Abloy said: “As the security demands placed on buildings become increasingly complex, eCLIQ’s flexibility means security managers can easily update access authorisations when required. Furthermore, lost eCLIQ keys can be quickly revoked, eliminating the time and money spent on changing lock cylinders and re-cutting keys. The system also offers time or area-restricted authorisations for an eCLIQ key. For example, contractors could be given access rights for the duration of a specific job. Once the job is completed, access is withdrawn from the key.”
Simon Wilson, national sales manager for Assa Cliq Remote at Assa Abloy, said: “Our CLIQ technology has already proven itself by securing buildings all over the world. eCLIQ is the next step for this technology. For any organisation needing a powerful locking system, eCLIQ provides a secure, flexible solution, with minimum fuss.
“The eCLIQ cylinders and keys meet the latest industrial standards for electronic locking systems, including DIN 15684 and VdS 2156-2. The range includes cylinders that work in temperatures from -25 °C to 85 °C. The durable, reversible electronic key is also waterproof to IP67. Installation is simple, and requires no wiring. Cylinder electronics are powered by an easy-to-replace standard battery with a 30,000 cycle lifetime, while with adjustable Euro profile cylinders with a minimum length of 28 mm and centred keyway, eCLIQ can be fitted to doors or other openings without any alteration. The range includes components for padlocks, mailboxes, alarm systems, and more.”
