by Rebecca Walker — July 7, 2010—Salto has introduced XS4-Locker, a locker lock designed to bring all the advantages of electronic access control to the locker room.
Most lockers are supplied with very basic mechanical locks and offer little in the way of resistance to thieves, says the company. The XS4-Locker solves this problem by offering state-of-the-art electronic access control technology in a low cost simple retro-fit format.
Upgrading from an existing mechanical lock is quick and easy. The old lock is removed and the XS4-Locker simply fitted in its place. No wiring is required, power is supplied by 3 AAA or optional lithium batteries good for 30,000 openings, and its exterior dimensions are a compact 54mm x 105mm x 28mm ensuring a neat fit and professional appearance.
An ergonomically designed twist-operated locking handle makes for easy use, even with wet hands, and its durable wipe-clean construction makes it highly resistant to chemicals; UV radiation and physical wear and tear ensuring a long lasting, smart appearance.
The access reader is built into the locking handle and the ID carrier — key card, wristband, key fob or bracelet — is simply presented to the reader and XS4 Locker will grant or deny access. A family option allows for multiple ID carriers to operate a single locker and its built-in audit trail facility automatically records the last 1,000 operations.
Based in Oiartzun, Spain, and with offices in the U.K., United States, Canada, Mexico, Portugal, Australia, the Netherlands, Malaysia and the UAE, Salto Systems was established in 2001 with the objective of creating a new advanced state-of-the-art access control concept.
