Product of the Month M/A 06 – Dormitory Locks

Saflok introduces its InSync electronic lock series and SAM RF software, which the company says is ideal for student housing. The locks control suite, bedroom, perimeter and all common area access. Through the application of proximity technology, the lock and the RF key communicate via encrypted radio frequency waves.


The locks and software provide complete key control to the property manager. The RF key automatically invalidates and cancels out the old or lost key the moment it is inserted into the lock. Building managers can automatically reduce the expense and liability of having staffs visit each lock to re-key it. Also, usage data or lock diagnostics can be used to develop different usage records. The latest 200 entries are stored for residential doors and 2,000 entries are stored for common area doors. These records are useful in deterring theft.
