Adding a New Lock onto the Floor Plan

This section describes how to add a single lock directly onto a floor plan.

Tip:

To add several locks at a time, see Adding a New Lock.

Note:

You do not necessarily need the actual physical locks to add locks in iLOQ Locking System. You can define the locks and attach them to the physical locks at a later phase.

Note:

Mandatory fields are marked with an asterisk (*).

Proceed as follows.

  1. Select Basic data > Browse floor plans.
  2. Hover your mouse over the desired door and right-click to select Lock > Add lock (Ctrl+N).
    The Add lock wizard is opened.
  3. Select Add lock.
  4. Define the lock settings as follows:
    • Placement — Placement refers to the location of the lock on the floor plan.
    • 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.

    • 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.

  5. Select Next.
  6. 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.
