ABLOY, the physical security and door product company, has launched its new eCLIQ electronic lock through ASSA ABLOY Security Solutions. Featuring a chip and 128-bit AES encryption, the new eCLIQ has been developed to offer security and resistance to electronic attack, the manufacturer says. Its microelectronics ensure communication between lock and key, while the eCLIQ cylinders and programmable keys are robust enough to withstand the harshest weather, the company adds.
eCLIQ’s flexibility means security managers can update access authorisations when required. Lost eCLIQ keys can be revoked, cutting out the time and money spent on changing lock cylinders and re-cutting keys. The product also offers time or area restricted authorisations for an eCLIQ key. For example, contractors could be given access rights for the duration of a job. Once the job is completed, access is withdrawn from the eCLIQ key.
