Keys changing hands
Operators, maintenance firms, subcontractors: keys pass from hand to hand and get copied. One lost key means changing the cylinders of a whole area.

Access control for technical sites: no batteries, no cables, even at remote sites
Street cabinets, shelters, substations, reservoirs, gates: your equipment is spread out and often has no power supply. iLOQ locks open with the technician's smartphone, which powers the lock at the moment of opening. Nothing to wire, no batteries to replace in the field.
The challenges
Hundreds of scattered access points, with no visibility
On a technical network, every mechanical key in circulation is a risk: copies, losses, many contractors, and no way of knowing who opened what.
Sites with no power
Street cabinets, shelters and remote sites often have neither power nor network: conventional electronic access control cannot be installed there.
No audit trail
No way of knowing who worked on which equipment, and when. A real issue for the security of critical infrastructure.
What iLOQ changes
Each technician opens only what they need, when they need it
Access rights are sent to the contractor's smartphone for a specific area and time window. They can be withdrawn remotely in seconds.
No batteries, no wiring
The NFC smartphone, fob or key powers the lock when opening. Ideal for remote sites, with zero battery maintenance.
Temporary contractor access
A contractor receives a right limited to one site and one time slot on their phone. It expires automatically.
Time-stamped history
Who opened what, where and when: a named log of every entry for your security audits.
In any weather
IP68 waterproof padlocks and IP54 cylinders, built for outdoor use and extreme weather.
Instant revocation
Lost phone or a contractor leaving the project: their rights are blocked remotely, without changing a single lock.
Fits existing hardware
iLOQ cylinders come in standard sizes and replace your current ones, including a DIN version for key switches.
