There is a global shift towards the use of system electronic door locks in businesses as they are more convenient, secure and have space-age features that satisfy the consumers. However, as it is normal with any technology, such locks do need some level of care in order to function properly and serve their purpose for an extended period. This article provides key steps in maintaining commercial electronic door locks with an emphasis on the product, product development, and protective measures that any business should adopt to ensure that they keep their assets intact.
1. Make It A Habit To Clean Active Components and Inspect Them Regularly Than When Needed Only.
It is important that electronic door locks are regularly cleaned and clear of maximum debris. Dust, dirt and moisture are intolerable in such locks because they may create barriers between the electronic components or within the mechanical activities of the lock system over longer durations.
Surface Cleaning: General cleaning of the lock should include wipes to soak any moisture on the lock made of soft and dry cloth. Remove any chemicals from using hard scrubs with the hope of withstanding such rough treatment to avoid damaging the federal finish. Apply solution with light soap and clean the surface for heavy staining.
Inspect Keypads and Card Readers: Keypads and card readers should be examined and wear and dirt countered at regular intervals. Normal maintenance should include cleaning these sections because excessive dirt may compromise touch sensitivity or the correct reading of the card.

4. Inspect Mechanical Components
Even if electronic locks are considered an all-digital product, they do contain some mechanical elements that need to be maintained. With time the physical lock can experience wear and tear, which can impede its operation.
Lubricate Moving Parts: Intermittently service the mechanical parts of the lock, especially the latch and bolt, with dry lubricant. Do not use oil based lubricants since they will cause dust build up and clog the parts.
Check Alignment: If a door lock is not easily opened or closed, this could be caused by issues with the way the lock is aligned. Verify the alignment of both the lock and the strike plate to ensure that they do not obstruct smooth functioning of the locks.
With intellectual focus on HANGFAT’s eDoor locks, advanced systems are designed to ensure the smooth working of all mechanical components for a prolonged time.

5. Security Audits and User Management
To safeguard the integrity of your electronic door locks, businesses are encouraged to routinely conduct security audits and alter user access privileges. This is more so in the case of commercial premises since employee rotation or revisions of access levels occurs several times.
Review Access Permissions: Consistently assess and archive all access rights of all users for all systems. Make sure that ex-employees, external agents or temporary workers do not maintain access to the system.
Check Access Logs: A number of electronic door locks can generate event logs that record which person entered a particular building or room and when. Peruse them through all logs so that no normal or excessive access has gone undeviating to unauthorized users.
Change PINs and Access Codes: If your system employs the use of PIN codes, consider issuing these PIN codes for a limited timeframe so as to minimize on chances of breaches. Adjust, as well all keycard systems, by discarding forgotten or deactivated cards.
By utilizing HANGFAT’s R&D capability, companies can reap benefits from advanced user management systems which make it possible for locks to be both secure and highly user oriented. Simply stated, access control is managed by the innovative design of the company allowing preservation of system control.
6. Sustainability and Environmental Considerations
For those companies which chronic off-green operational affects, electronic door locks should also be made to provide contributions towards running the building in a sustainable manner. This will help to prolong the life of the locks and therefore minimize pollution that arises from altering these locks too often or modifying them too often.
Operation with Low Power Consumption: With the advent of technology, design flaws like improper power management in electronic locks have become limitations since they are expected to perform for a long time while consuming less power. Provided locks are in proper working order, they should be routinely checked and serviced to avoid the problem of over-accumulation of dust or any debris.
