The ÜLock B locks from Südmetall provide security on both sides of the door – to protect human lives and valuables: there is always an escape route guaranteed by the panic function in the direction of escape. And the self-locking function ensures that the door is otherwise always locked. The lock has no parts that can be attacked from outside as the electronics are completely enclosed within the lock housing, and the lock itself has a high resistance to mechanical manipulation. The best possible encryption is used for data transmission between lock, RFID card and RFID reader – that ensures optimum protection against break-ins. Access control administration is through the license-free ÜManagement 2.0 software.

As facility managers, designers and building specifiers will attest, it can be challenging to find the right electronic access solution for a glass door.
