Why retrofitting with iLOQ smart locks is a smart move for property owners

In today’s rapidly evolving security landscape, property owners face increasing pressure to modernize their buildings without incurring excessive costs or disrupting daily operations. One of the most impactful upgrades you can make is replacing outdated mechanical locks with iLOQ’s innovative smart-locking systems.

iLOQ’s battery- and cable-free solutions offer a compelling combination of enhanced security, operational efficiency, and long-term cost savings.

Security that exceeds modern standards

Traditional mechanical locks are vulnerable to a range of security threats, including lost or copied keys, unauthorized access, and lock picking. iLOQ smart locks eliminate these risks by using encrypted digital keys or smartphone keys that can be easily managed and updated remotely. Access rights can be granted, modified, or revoked instantly, ensuring that only authorized individuals can enter your property.

Moreover, iLOQ’s locks are designed to withstand harsh environments and tampering attempts, providing robust protection for residential buildings, commercial and public properties and critical infrastructure facilities alike.

Cost-efficient and sustainable

Unlike many electronic locking systems, iLOQ’s smart locks operate without batteries or external power sources. This not only reduces maintenance costs and environmental impact but also eliminates the need for regular battery replacements and wiring infrastructure. Over time, property owners benefit from significantly lower total cost of ownership compared to traditional or battery-powered electronic locks.

Additionally, the ability to manage access digitally reduces administrative overheads and minimizes the need for physical key distribution and tracking.

The greener choice

Sustainability is no longer optional, it’s a responsibility. iLOQ’s battery-free technology significantly reduces electronic waste and the environmental burden associated with battery production, transportation, and disposal. By harvesting energy from key insertion or smartphone induction, iLOQ locks operate efficiently without consuming disposable resources. This makes them the ideal choice for environmentally conscious property owners looking to align their operations with green building standards and sustainability goals.

Quick and hassle-free retrofitting

One of the standout advantages of iLOQ’s solution is its ease of installation. Retrofitting can be completed in a matter of minutes, with no need for drilling, special tools, or modifications to doors or the existing infrastructure. The locks are designed to fit seamlessly into standard lock cylinders, making them ideal for upgrading older buildings without costly renovations.

This plug-and-play approach ensures minimal disruption to tenants or operations, allowing property owners to enhance security quickly and efficiently.
