Electric locks are a vital component in creating a secure, integrated digital access solution

May 21, 2025

To protect the important openings in their buildings, organizations need locks they can trust. This means more than just strength and attack resistance – although these are of course critical. They also need connectivity: efficient integration with existing systems to help facilities managers face challenges in the evolving physical and cyber-security landscape.

An electric lock is a core component of a modern digital access system. It provides seamless security and safety; data which businesses can use for monitoring and efficient building management; and smart access capabilities. The ABLOY brand has led innovation in the design and development of electric locks for over 40 years, continuously refining security, safety, reliability, and energy efficiency.

An ABLOY electric lock, part of a suite of digital access solutions from ASSA ABLOY, delivers ROIs in terms of both security and convenience. It connects building access with more fine-grained management tools which help facilities managers to work smarter and audit movement effectively.

Trusted worldwide, Trusted for a reason – ABLOY electric locks

Electric locks from ABLOY bring a vast range of benefits to any organization: not only security, but also confidence, compliance, convenience and more. In various installations, including some of the most challenging assignments any lock can be given, they have consistently proven to be durable, reliable and energy efficient – time and again. Over the decades, ABLOY electric locks have been installed worldwide, in commercial and government buildings, at critical infrastructure, protecting hospitals and many more premises. Building managers enjoy peace of mind when they choose ABLOY. Each electric lock is certified and compliant with security and safety standards, as well as building regulations.

ABLOY electric locks also enhance the convenience of daily facilities management tasks. They are easy to use and to connect to an existing access system, which reduces the security risks and operational inefficiency of running multiple systems or protocols in parallel. Electric locks can be controlled remotely via a web connection, streamlining the management of people flow by making access smarter. When integrated with solutions which enable remote building control, for example, they ensure fast and secure lockdowns in a critical situation, enhancing the protection of people and property.

Electric locks also help businesses face future challenges in and beyond security, including operational resilience. They generate indication data for real-time security insights. The locks themselves may contribute as part of an organization’s overall sustainability strategy: they use power only when unlocking, minimizing energy waste and supporting green building initiatives.

“As part of ASSA ABLOY’s suite of connected digital access solutions, ABLOY electric locks provide the highest level of protection, seamless integration, and proven long-term reliability,” says Mika Savolainen, Director & Head of Product Line Management ELMECH PU at ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions EMEIA. “By choosing an ABLOY electric lock, you ensure your building’s access is secure, smart, and ready for the future. With us, you digitalize with confidence.”
