Locks with a Cam have a knob or handle to manually rotate the mechanism. Note: A flat cam is shown for illustrative purposes. Pressing the Key Button on the keypad will make **the LED flash red**. Shared Use is perfect for environments where multiple users need temporary access. A code, or key allows anyone to use the unit, and once unlocked is available for the next user. Locks configured in Shared Use may feature either a deadbolt or cam locking mechanism. Pressing the Key Button on the keypad will make the LED flash green. Assigned Use is ideal for personal or dedicated access, where a specific individual or group is given a unique code or key 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.
