The benefits of going mechatronic

Access2 epro mechatronic cylinder

Just as there are situations where mechanical lock cylinders excel, there are times when electronic locking systems are essential. Mechatronic systems seamlessly combine both, offering flexibility, control, and auditing capabilities. Let’s explore the power of mechatronic systems and introduce you to an innovative solution that could transform your approach to security.

The Best of Both Worlds: Mechatronic Systems

Just as there are applications where mechanical lock cylinders are the perfect solution, there are situations where anything other than an electronic locking system would be impractical.

However, there’s a third option that combines the strengths of both – mechatronic systems. These systems seamlessly blend mechanical and electronic security to offer a level of flexibility, control, and auditing capabilities that are unmatched.

One of the standout advantages of mechatronic systems is their adaptability. With ease, you can add or delete keys from the system. You can also grant timed permissions to keys or cylinders, adding a layer of control to traditional master key systems. Imagine having the ability to manage access with precision, ensuring that only authorised individuals can enter specific areas during designated times.

The Future of Mechatronic Security

We at Access2 are proud to supply ePro, a cutting-edge mechatronic solution developed by Tokoz, leading Czech security specialists. ePro is a game-changer, offering a wide range of applications from securing doors to protecting portable equipment and vehicles.

The lock cylinders in ePro are designed to meet the highest security standards. They’re anti-pick, anti-bump, anti-hook, anti-drill, and offer high resistance to lock snapping. What’s more, they are incredibly user-friendly, thanks to easy programming and a wireless system that simplifies installation.

Built to Thrive in Challenging Environments

While ePro was initially developed with the utilities sector in mind, its versatility is quickly becoming apparent across various industries. From healthcare and support centres to transportation, organisations are turning to this mechatronic solution to meet their complex security needs.

In particular, locations with multi-layered security requirements, such as airports and rail terminals, find ePro indispensable. Its wireless nature eliminates the need for extensive wiring, making it ideal for remote or hard-to-reach areas. Plus, the cylinder itself is battery-free, ensuring complete weatherproofing for use in extreme environments.

In the education sector, mechatronic systems like ePro offer a unique advantage. Schools often face vandalism and security challenges, making a solution with resistance to attack crucial. With mechatronic systems, access requirements can change throughout the day, and audits of key usage are easily achievable.

Complete Control and Unparalleled Security

One of the standout features of ePro is its ability to provide full audit trails, allowing you to track key movements with precision. In case a key is lost or stolen, you can promptly delete it from the system, rendering it useless. This eliminates the risk associated with misplaced or stolen keys, safeguarding your security system.

Moreover, ePro empowers you to grant specific permissions to existing keys, a feature especially useful for contractors. You can define when and where they have access, ensuring security without compromising productivity. No more worrying about keys disappearing into the wrong hands.

Unlock the Power of Mechatronic Systems Today

Mechatronic systems offer incredible advantages for security and control. Their ability to seamlessly integrate into complex mechanical master key systems while delivering reliability in challenging environments makes them a practical and cost-effective alternative to purely mechanical or electronic approaches.

Access2 Passes ISO 9001 with flying colours – Because quality isn’t just a checkbox

At Access2, quality has never been an afterthought, it’s embedded in everything we do. That’s why we’re proud to announce that we’ve once again passed our ISO 9001 audit and while it’s not our first time, it never loses significance. ISO 9001 is the globally recognised gold standard for Quality Management Systems (QMS). It’s about more than ticking compliance boxes it’s about building smarter, stronger processes that deliver consistent, reliable results to our customers. For Lesley Rhodes, Head of Policy & Process, ISO 9001 is close to the heart.  “We don’t do it for the certificate on the wall. We do it because it challenges us to always be better and that benefits our customers, our people, and the future of Access2.” Why it matters: The whole management team is involved — this isn’t a solo effort. It’s part of our everyday operations — not a once-a-year scramble. We use the audit process as a chance to pause, reflect, and find improvements. Whether it’s refining our product quality, streamlining customer service, or sharpening our decision-making with data, ISO 9001 gives us the tools to lead, not follow. The Power of Process From mechanical security to access control, our clients rely on us to get it right, every time. And with ISO 9001, we’re not just saying we deliver quality, we’re proving it through a tried, tested and internationally recognised system.   In an industry where details matter, we’re proud to show our commitment to constant improvement, customer satisfaction, and doing things properly.   Here’s to raising the bar and then raising it again next year.
