IRVINE, Calif.—Codelocks has introduced the CL5000 NetCode range of products, which now includes Codelocks’ time-sensitive code functionality—NetCode—to its selection of heavy duty electronic CL5000 access control solutions for high-traffic areas.
Launched in 2004, the original CL5000 has proven to be a reliable access control solution for the past 20 years. The addition of NetCode technology takes the CL5000’s solid build, ease of installation and operation, and low maintenance features to a new level by providing property managers and users with the added benefits of temporary, time-sensitive access codes that provide an increased level of control.
“This version of the long-established CL5000 is particularly useful where someone needs temporary access. That’s the case at LA-based Cage Riot Studios. The facility uses the CL5210 NetCode mortise tubular latch model to effortlessly and remotely manage access control for the musicians and artists who use its recording and rehearsal studios,” says Matt Welty, vice president, Americas at Codelocks Inc. “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 hassle-free self-service access to the space.”
CL5000 NetCode Products Applicable for Indoor and Outdoor Installations
The Codelocks CL5000 NetCode lock range come in a choice of brushed steel finish, and it is available in different versions that include a Panic Kit, a Mortise Tubular Latch and Mortise Lock version. The company points out the mortise latch and lock models are certified for the maximum 3-hour fire rating. Tested in accordance with UL 10C. 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 said to be 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.
“By adding Codelocks NetCode Technology to the strengths of our best-selling CL5000 lock, we are giving customers the ability to grant temporary access codes to remote locations,” adds Welty. “NetCodes can be issued with a specific start date, time and duration that will expire automatically, for complete access control. So, an authorized person can access a location unaccompanied, on a specified date and time for a specified period.”
