Adding a Copy of an Existing Lock

This section describes how to add a copy of an existing lock to iLOQ Locking System.

Proceed as follows.

  1. Select Basic data > Add lock.
  2. Select Add copy of existing lock.
  3. Select the lock that you want to use as a template for the new lock.
  4. Select Next.
  5. Define the lock settings as follows:
    • Placement — Placement refers to the location of the lock on the floor plan. If you are adding several locks at a time, set the first placement in a way that it ends with a number, such as A1. In this way, the system adds consecutive placement numbers as follows:
      • A1
      • A2
      • A3
      • ...
    • Approach direction — Approach direction refers to the direction where the lock will be opened from, if the door is equipped with double side lock.

    • Locking target — Locking target provides a more detailed description or name of the room or premises, where the lock will lead to.

      If you are adding several locks at a time, set the first locking target in a way that it ends with a number, such as Door 1. In this way, the system adds consecutive locking targets as follows:

      • Door 1
      • Door 2
      • Door 3
      • ...
    • Lock cylinder — Lock cylinder refers to the lock cylinder type. Select the type in the drop-down list, or enter the type manually.

    • Allow API access rights — Check Allow API access rights to allow Application Programming Interface (API) access rights for the lock.

    • Online authentication required — Check the Online authentication required, if you want to create a high-security lock that requires server authentication each time the lock is opened.

      Note:

      Online authentication lengthens the lock opening time.

      If you have allowed API access rights, and checked the Online authentication required, select also one or both of the options below:

      • For API access rights — If you check this check box, the lock requires online authentication from a key that has an API access right. If you do not check this check box, the lock can opened without online authentication, by a key that has an API access right.

      • For standard access rights — If you check this check box, the lock requires online authentication from a key that has a standard access right. If you do not check this check box, the lock can opened without online authentication, by a key that has a standard access right.

  6. Select Next.
  7. Enter additional information as necessary.

    The fields are:

    • Door type — Door type refers to the type of door where the lock will be mounted on.
    • Escutcheon — Escutcheon refers to the shield plate that surrounds the keyhole on the door.
    • Lock model — Lock model refers to the model of the lock case.
    • Cylinder extension — Cylinder extension refers to the extension that will be added to the new lock.
    • Door thickness (mm) — Door thickness indicates the thickness of the door where the lock will be mounted on.
    • Depth of lock body (mm) — Depth of lock body (mm) indicates the depth of the lock case.
    • Opening direction — Opening direction indicates the door opening direction.
    • Note — Note refers to additional information on the lock or the door.
  8. Select Next.
  9. Select the access rights for the lock.

    The lock will, by default, have the same access rights as the lock that you selected as the template for the new lock.

  10. Select whether the lock is time limited or not.
    Note:

    If a key is time limited, but the lock is not, the key functions all the time.

  11. Select Next.
  12. Select the number of locks to be created.
  13. Select Next.
  14. Select how to proceed.

    The options are:

    • Leave locks in planning state — Select Leave locks in planning state if you want to leave the locks in the planning state, and continue planning the locking system without, for example, programming any physical locks.

    • Order programming task — Select Order programming task if you know that the lock definitions are final, but you want to program the lock later.
