CyberLock Electronic Lock Cylinders

What is CyberLock?

CyberLock is an electronic lock cylinder that drops into lock hardware you already own and turns it into a controlled opening. There is no wiring, no power and no network at the door, and no keyway that a mechanical key can pick or bump. The cylinder opens only for a programmable CyberKey carrying current permission for that exact lock at that exact time.

The system is three parts:

• CyberLock cylinders replace the mechanical cylinders in doors, padlocks, cabinets, gates, switches and cam locks. Over 430 designs cover most hardware already in service, so in most cases the existing hardware stays where it is.
• CyberKeys are programmable smart keys. The key carries both the permission and the power, which is why the cylinder needs neither.
• CyberAudit software is where you grant access, revoke it, set schedules, and read the record.

Every attempt is recorded on both sides. The cylinder logs which key touched it. The key logs every cylinder it touched, including the ones that refused it. When a key goes missing you delete it in software, and nobody rekeys the building.

CyberLock is not a card access system and is not meant to replace one. It covers the openings card access never reaches economically: the ones with no power run to them, no network, and no budget for a wired door controller.

Where CyberLock is used

TEC Solutions installs CyberLock across water and wastewater facilities, electric and gas utilities, traffic cabinets, municipal yards, telecom huts, schools, airports and vending fleets. The common thread is a large number of remote or unpowered openings and a set of keys that keeps moving between people.

Trucking and logistics is the same problem on wheels. One key system can run from the terminal building out to the yard gate and onto the trailer itself using Babaco TRUK-LOK cylinders built for truck and trailer door hardware. Drivers, contractors and third-party carriers each get their own key with its own schedule, and every door they open is on the record. More detail on that setup is on our logistics and storage page.

Common questions about CyberLock

Does CyberLock need wiring or power at the door?

No. The cylinder has no battery and no wire. Power and permissions both arrive from the CyberKey when it makes contact, which is what makes gates, padlocks and remote sites practical to secure.

What happens when a CyberKey is lost or never returned?

You delete that key in CyberAudit. The lost key stops opening locks and the rest of the system is untouched. Compare that to a mechanical master key system, where one lost key can mean rekeying an entire building.

Can CyberLock use the locks we already have?

Usually, yes. CyberLock is a cylinder swap, not a door replacement. With 430-plus cylinder designs the goal is to reuse the existing hardware rather than rip it out.

How is CyberLock different from a card access system?

Card access controls a wired door with a reader, a controller and a power run. CyberLock controls the lock itself and needs none of that. The two are often deployed together: card access on the main entrances, CyberLock on everything behind them.

Does CyberLock work on trucks and trailers?

Yes, through Babaco TRUK-LOK. It puts a CyberLock cylinder into a lock built for roll-up and swing trailer doors, so cargo doors sit on the same key system and the same audit trail as the rest of the operation.

Who installs and supports CyberLock?

TEC Solutions is an authorized CyberLock dealer. We handle the site survey, cylinder selection, software setup and training. If you want to see it work, we will bring a key and cylinders and open your own locks with it.
