Keyless Door Lock Systems

Keyless entry systems are a virtual, interconnected network of digital keyless locks, which are activated by digital cards, fobs and/or transponders. In this convenient keyless world, office doors will only unlock when an authorised digital card, fob or transponder is presented to the locks it has access too.

Digital keyless locks, such as those from SimonsVoss, can be used to quickly and easily replace the existing mechanical cylinders inside your home or office doors. Once your keyless locks are configured to the keyless door software, authorised key holders can be added to the system. Authorised personnel can be instantaneously added or deleted from your list of digital key holders, which helps you (or your security team) manage the movements of new starters, leavers and visitors.

Once your system locks are configured, they are ready to go live. Our keyless door locks and entry systems are incredibly flexible and responsive with systems able to be reconfigured and adapted as many times as is required.

Active technology, in relation to the Simons’ Voss keyless entry systems, refers to all of the transponders configured to your system.
