What is Electric Locking?
Electric locking refers to locking devices powered by electricity rather than purely mechanical means. These systems can be controlled remotely, integrated with access control systems, and programmed for various security functions. Examples include:
-
Electric strikes – replace the fixed strike plate in a door frame, allowing the door to be opened electronically while remaining locked mechanically.
-
Electromagnetic locks (maglocks) – use magnetic force to secure doors.
-
Electric drop bolts and deadbolts – provide strong locking mechanisms triggered by an electronic signal.
These solutions offer flexibility, convenience, and enhanced security over traditional locks, making them popular in both commercial and residential settings.
Why Electric Locking is Important
Modern security challenges require more than simple keys and locks. Here’s why electric locking is vital:
-
Access Control Integration
Connect electric locks to systems like keypads, card readers, biometric devices, or smartphone apps for sophisticated security management. -
Remote Operation
Unlock doors from anywhere, whether you’re managing a single entrance or an entire facility. -
Audit Trails
Electric locks can record who accessed which door and when—critical for security compliance and investigations. -
Fail-Safe/Fail-Secure Options
Electric locks can be set to unlock automatically during emergencies (fail-safe) or stay locked (fail-secure), depending on your safety priorities. -
Increased Security
Electronic mechanisms make unauthorized access much harder than with traditional mechanical keys alone.
