| CyberLock is a “key-centric system” because the key is doing most of the work.
It’s the CyberKey that is programmed with the permissions of what users
may do: what locks they may open and the days and times they may open
them.
CyberKey Facts:
- Each CyberKey has a unique ID assigned at the time
of manufacturing that cannot be changed or duplicated. This ID is
what identifies the key in the management software. So although two
keys can be programmed alike, they each leave their own unique
footprint in the system.
- CyberKeys contain encrypted access codes to identify the system they belong to.
- CyberKey memory records up to 3900 events, both authorized openings and denied attempts.
- CyberKey batteries provide the power to the system:
choose CyberKeys with either an easy-to-replace 3-volt lithium
battery or an extended-life rechargeable lithium ion polymer
battery.
What happens when a key touches a lock?
When
a key touches a lock, they communicate in a fraction of a second to
determine if that key should open that lock: they exchange IDs, compare
access codes, check to see if the lock ID is on the key’s list of
authorized locks, confirm the key is there at the right time, and ensure
the key is not on the lock’s list of lost keys. If everything checks
out, the lock can be opened.
How are lost keys managed?
There are two ways to
manage lost keys: proactively and reactively. When keys are first
programmed for use, they can be set with an expiration date. Expirations
are flexible and can be set according to the security required: hourly,
daily, weekly, and monthly are common examples. When a key is lost, it
may not be necessary to do anything if it expires at the end of the day.
However, if the expiration is too far in the future to ensure your
security, loading the lost key ID into the lock memory keeps the key
from working.

CyberLock cylinders come in many shapes and sizes.
That’s because each one is made to the same mechanical specifications as
the cylinder it is replacing. Installation is as easy as removing the
mechanical cylinder and replacing it with the CyberLock version, all
without wiring.
CyberLock cylinder facts:
- Inside, CyberLocks are all electronic: they have a circuit
board rather than a keyway and pins like a mechanical cylinder.
- The electronics are sealed, for installation indoors or out.
- Each cylinder has a unique ID assigned at the time it is manufactured which cannot be changed or duplicated.
- Cylinders contain encrypted access codes to identify the system they belong to.
- CyberLock memory stores the most recent 1100 access events.
- Cylinders may contain a list of lost keys to prevent lost keys from gaining access.
- CyberLock cylinders have no battery and are powered by the battery in the key.

The comprehensive line of cylinder designs provides solutions for standard locks and specialized applications.
A
number of CyberLock cylinders incorporate additional drill-resistant
features for applications such as cash handling and high-security
doorways.
