Features
Aesthetic Options
A range of aesthetic options means there is a look to suit every installation. Choose from nine handle set options — Acadia, Aspiring, Banff, Denali, Glacier, Jasper, Nightcap, Peak, and Sequoia — and seven finishes including Bright Brass, Satin Brass, Satin Bronze, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Flat Black, Bright Stainless, and Satin Stainless.
Native Access Control
ICT wireless locks are a native component of your Protege system. No integration, middleware or third-party interface.
All configuration is performed within your existing Protege setup using standard door programming and utilizes existing records for users, credentials, access levels and other access control features. The solution truly is seamless.
Bluetooth® Mobile Credential Reading
Bluetooth® capability enables you to use your smartphone as your access credential for maximum convenience.
With the Protege Mobile App you can unlock the door using a unique access credential that is entered against your user record in the Protege system and authenticated by a secure cloud based server.
You can even integrate mobile credentials into custom apps using the ICT Mobile SDK, providing end users with a truly unified smart building experience. For more information about the SDK, contact ICT.
Secure with MIFARE DESFire
Based on the international standard ISO/IEC 14443 Type A, MIFARE DESFire represents the highest levels of physical credential security.
- Fully compliant with the international standard ISO/IEC 14443 Type A
- Multi-application memory to store several services on the same card, allowing for many integration possibilities
- Fast transaction speed
- High security and fraud protection
Wireless locks also support MIFARE Classic and ICT Secured MIFARE cards for compatibility with lower security sites.
Convenient Programming
Because offline locks are not actively connected to the network, in many systems they are extremely inconvenient to program. In contrast Protege wireless locks can be configured using the tool you already have in your pocket.
With the Protege Config App, you can simply badge your phone at an update reader to pick up the latest configuration, then send the updates to any lock within Bluetooth® range. The app will automatically update the lock firmware as well, saving you time and money.
Flexible Access
The mortise lock supports a wide range of functionality to provide flexible and secure access control, including:
- Unlock the door temporarily on access
- Toggle the lock on access or by badging a card and holding down the inside handle
- Leave the door unlocked after exiting until a card is badged or for a set time
- Unlock on schedule with optional late to open operation, preventing the door from unlocking if no one arrives at the office
- Extended unlock time for people with disabilities
- Emergency open function allows an authorized person to unlock the door once if the owner loses their card
- Privacy (Do not disturb) mode available on models with a thumbturn
Lock Your Doors with Confidence
The mortise lock meets ANSI Grade 1 lock standards and is rated for over 12 million cycles, boasting the following industry-leading construction:
- Stainless steel deadbolt
- Stainless steel anti-friction latchbolt
- Stainless steel deadlatch
- Stainless steel armor plate
- Stainless steel stop works
- Independent single retractor hub
- A single cam for all locking functions
- Four compression springs to ensure smooth controlled operation
- 12 gauge heavy duty alloy steel casing
End-to-End Encrypted
The ICT wireless locking system is end-to-end encrypted with a minimum of 128-bit encryption* at every step in the chain of communication. All encryption keys are uniquely generated for every site and shared between components using industry-standard methods. The wireless lock itself contains a Secure Access Module (SAM), an isolated chip which handles all key storage, encryption and decryption to provide the highest level of security for encryption keys.
* Only applies when using DESFire cards and/or mobile credentials for access. MIFARE Classic cards do not provide the same level of security.
