Loughborough University’s campus has miles and miles of electrical cabling, gas piping and data communications, which demand a responsive engineering team to safely and securely maintain the day-to-day requirements of the university.
The engineering suite’s master key system is the most expansive on site and required a high security solution that would also deliver a level of convenience, to ensure that administrating and managing the large number of keys and cylinders is as easy as possible.
CLIQ® brings flexible access rights management
CLIQ® Remote system from ASSA was installed, providing a simple and intelligent electromechanical locking system to improve universities security, despite restrictive budgets. CLIQ® is a security locking system with high-end microelectronics, programmable keys and cylinders. The system offers a variety of combinations of mechanical and electronic systems to match different security and flexible access needs. Available on the global market place, it provides flexible access and key management solutions for all kinds of locking applications.
The system allows only those with the necessary authority to obtain access to private areas, without inconveniencing others. CLIQ® offers the functionality to create time defined user keys, allowing access for a specified period of time. This is a useful feature for maintenance workers and contractors who may need to access the engineering suite outside normal working hours.
