eCLIQ is a purely electronic keying system developed by ASSA ABLOY. It is a cost effective solution which provides electronic access control without the need for wiring. eCLIQ cylinders retrofit into existing doors and locks.
eCLIQ offers the electronic features such as programmable access rights, time scheduling, audit trails, and blocking of lost keys.
Both the key and cylinder contain electronics but only the key has a battery. The battery in the key powers up the electronics in the cylinder at key insertion.
eCLIQ is based on electronics that can be embedded directly inside the key and the core of a cylinder. Each ASSA ABLOY®eCLIQ key and cylinder contains a unique electronic code, designated for one individual element only and cannot be altered or corrupted.
The electronic mechanism embedded in the cylinder, is a self-contained unit. Consequently, the intelligent cylinder installs with ease like any normal cylinder.
The use of eCLIQ keys and cylinders is nearly the same as the use of a normal mechanical keying system. The only difference is the sound and visual signals given to the key holder when an eCLIQ key is inserted in an eCLIQ cylinder. The electronics in the key and cylinder cause a short delay of around 0.1 seconds before the key can be turned after the key insertion.
ASSA ABLOY® eCLIQ comes in a variety of cylinders and locks for various types of applications. The range includes door cylinders, padlocks and cam locks.
eCLIQ comes in two different system types: CLIQ Go and CLIQ Web Manager.
CLIQ Go is a lightweight software developed for smaller systems that can be managed via a mobile phone app. It is simple and intuitive to use but with limited functionality. Your local locksmith will be able to create and extend CLIQ Go systems directly from their shop.
CLIQ Web Manager is an enterprise full feature software suitable for all types of systems including large ones. It is powerful but a bit more complex and requires training. It has a lot of features designed for large systems. CLIQ Web Manager systems are created and extended in ASSA ABLOY’s factory in Melbourne while being sold and supported by your local locksmith.
For more information please see the CLIQ Go and CLIQ Web Manager sections.
