Codelocks has introduced the CL5000 NetCode® which adds Codelocks’ time-sensitive code functionality, NetCode®, to its best-selling, heavy duty CL5000 access control solution for high-traffic areas.
Launched in 2004, the original CL5000 has stood the test of time over the last 20 years. The addition of NetCode®technology enables CL5000 to have temporary, time-sensitive access codes that provide an increased level of control.
The new CL5000 NetCode® is ideal for heavy-duty, high traffic areas where the customer needs the flexibility and convenience of remote access and the ability to grant or revoke entry from a distance via the Codelocks Connect Portal.
Joanne Milne-Rowe, sales director at Codelocks said: “Adding Codelocks NetCode® Technology to the strengths of our best-selling CL5000 lock gives customers the ability to grant temporary access codes to remote locations. NetCodes® can be issued with a specific start date, time and duration that will expire automatically, for complete access control. So, an authorised person can access a location unaccompanied, on a specified date and time for a specified period.
The technology is already in use at US-based Cage Riot Studios. It uses the CL5010 NetCode® model to remotely manage access control for the musicians and artists who use its recording and rehearsal studios. The musicians book a time slot through Cage Riot Studio’s website, and the studio manager logs into the Codelocks Connect Portal to create a one-time access code for the booking. The code is emailed to the musicians, who then have self-service access to the space.
The CL5000 NetCode® lock comes in Brushed Steel finish, and it is available in different models as a panic kit, mortice latch and mortice lock. Codelocks Fire Kits can be fitted to latch models for 30- or 60- minute fire doors and are tested in accordance with BS EN1634-1. A Solid Black finish will be available later in 2024.
Suitable for internal and external use, Codelocks’ CL5000 NetCode® electronic locks are powered by 4 x AA batteries and are straightforward to install or retrofit. Operation is hassle-free and there is no need for complex wiring. Up to 80 User Codes are available and access is via code, NetCode® or override key.
