Alarm Lock is a global leader in access control and exit solutions for use in industries such as retail, healthcare, education, transportation etc. This blog aims to describe the different Alarm Lock Access Control Locks and Alarm Lock Products. 

Alarm Lock Access Control Locks

Alarm Lock’s product categories include Trilogy access control solutions which provide access through PIN codes and/or HID proximity ID cards and badges. Advanced Trilogy access control solutions can store scheduled events such as automatic locking/unlocking events and keep an audit trail log of door activity made by users, which can be retrieved into a PC and/or printed for record keeping purposes. The Trilogy Networx access control solution allows locks to be setup in a network thereby eliminating door-to-door operations, which are now managed remotely from a server PC. The newly introduced ArchiTech Networx Series takes the technology of Trilogy Networx locks and allows you to pair it with aesthetically appealing trims, readers and finishes to provide an elegant access control solution. The Sirenlock Exit Alarms are UL listed panic alarm deadbolt devices which sound an alarm in case of unauthorized access while providing instant exit in case of emergencies.
