Codelocks develops new glass door smart lock

Codelocks has launched its first glass door smart lock to bring intelligent access control to modern spa, leisure, fitness and hospitality environments.

The CL4500 GD is a medium-duty electronic lock with a Rondo-style patch lock to suit toughened glass doors. It has key override access and a 12-button backlit keypad for operation in dim light conditions.

The lock can be fitted to a solid door frame using the flat strike panel or to glass side panels using the additional strike box, meaning it can be installed in partial or fully glass-walled rooms.

As the first of Codelocks’ glass door range to use its NetCode technology, the new product can manage up to 350 different users, who can unlock it via a code, card or smartphone.

NetCode allows for temporary code generation, ranging between one hour to one year, with single or multiple uses. The proprietary technology allows facilities and building managers to create and manage access via an app or online portal.

Combined with its battery-powered, standalone build, no WiFi is required to operate the lock, this helps customers to manage access control wherever they are.

Colin Campbell, managing director at Codelocks, said: “Our new glass door lock offers a stylish sophisticated access control solution.

“While glass walls give a space an open, transparent feel, there’s still often the need for access control. Thanks to its built-in smart technology, the CL4500 GD helps to create a flexible environment to work in.”

The CL4500 GD lock can be upgraded with the company's antibacterial coating, Clean by Codelocks, to help minimise the spread of germs.
