Can NarcLock cylinders be installed outdoors?

Yes, the electronics are sealed, for installation indoors and out. NarcLock cylinders are designed to operate in a variety of environments.

Can NarcLock cylinders be picked?

No, NarcLock cylinders have no keyway and cannot be picked like a mechanical lock. NarcLock cylinders resist forced rotation and, if tampered with, are designed to remain in the locked position.

Is lock hardware functionality lost when NarcLock is installed?

No, NarcLock cylinders fit into the lock hardware just the same as the mechanical cylinders they replace. The lock hardware will operate in the same fashion as before the NarcLock cylinder was installed.

What happens when a key touches a lock?

In less than a second, the lock and key synchronize: they exchange unique IDs, compare access codes, validate the list of authorized locks, confirm the current time is within the authorized window, and ensure the key is not on the lock’s list of lost keys. If everything is validated, the lock will open.

How are lost keys managed?

There are two ways to manage lost keys: proactively and reactively. When programmed, keys can be set to expire. These expirations are flexible and can be set according to specific security requirements: hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly expirations are common examples. When a key with a near-term expiration is lost, no action may be required. When a key with a long-term expiration is lost, creating unacceptable risk exposure, vulnerable locks can be reprogrammed to load the lost key ID into the lock memory and prevent that key from working.

How many locks can one key access?

A key can access up to 12,000 locks.

What happens if the key battery dies?

The key permissions, access schedules, and audit trail are maintained even if the battery dies but the clock inside the key may need to be reset. This can be done by updating the key right after recharging or replacing the key battery.

How do Keys communicate with the software?

Keys are updated and programmed via communication devices. When a NarcKey and a communicator make contact, the audit trail is downloaded from the key while simultaneously new schedules, permissions, and system information are uploaded to the key. Communication devices are linked to NarcAudit software over a local area network or securely over the Internet.

Can I still communicate with my keys when the network is down, and power is out?

Yes, several communicators such as the Authorizer System and NarcKey Vault key cabinets include backup power options and built-in memory to store key configurations.

How do I communicate with my locks?

What is an audit trail?

It includes the date and time of the occurrence. Other audit trail data includes information related to communicators, such as when a NarcKey Vault was accessed.

Can I access NarcAudit on a tablet computer?
