A solid, motor-driven bolt that extends into the locker frame.
A rotating metal piece that engages or disengages the lock when turned. Locks with a Cam have a knob or handle to manually rotate the mechanism.
Note: A flat cam is shown for illustrative purposes.
Placing your hand near the RFID reader will make the LED flash red.
Shared Use is perfect for environments where multiple users need temporary access. An RFID credential allows anyone to use the unit, and once unlocked it's available for the next user. Locks configured in Shared Use may feature either a deadbolt or cam locking mechanism.
Placing your hand near the RFID reader will make the LED flash green.
Assigned Use is ideal for personal or dedicated access, where a specific individual or group is given an RFID credential to open a designated unit. The unit remains locked until the assigned user unlocks it using their credential. Assigned Use locks can be configured with a deadbolt, deadlatch, or cam.
The Function Key is used to change the functionality of RFID locks from Shared Use to Assigned Use or vice versa.
