Keys and Locks for Helmsman Lockers
Helmsman lockers are designed for security and durability, offering various locking options to suit different environments. From traditional key-based locks to advanced electronic solutions, users can select the best locking method for their needs.
Traditional Key Locks
Key locks remain a reliable and widely used option for securing Helmsman lockers.
Cam Locks – These simple yet effective locks operate with a standard key. They are ideal for offices, schools, and leisure facilities. Each lock comes with a unique key, ensuring individual security. Deadbolt Key Locks – A more secure option, deadbolt locks provide enhanced protection against forced entry. They are commonly used in high-security areas.
Replacement Keys – Lost keys can be an issue, but Helmsman provides replacement key services for all key-operated locks.
Padlock-Compatible Locking Options
Some users prefer to bring their own security. Helmsman lockers accommodate personal padlocks with specific locking designs.
Hasp & Staple Fittings – These fittings allow users to attach their own padlock. They are a flexible solution, commonly used in workplaces and gyms.
Padlock-Ready Cam Locks – These locks offer the same functionality as a standard cam lock but require a padlock instead of a key.
Mechanical Keyless Locks
For users who want keyless access without relying on electronics, mechanical combination locks provide a practical alternative.
Dial Combination Locks – Users set a personal code, eliminating the need for keys. Ideal for high-traffic areas like schools and gyms.
Push-Button Mechanical Locks – These locks use a numerical keypad for access. They offer simple operation and enhanced security.
Electronic Locks
Modern electronic locks provide enhanced security and convenience, eliminating the need for physical keys.
RFID Locks – These locks allow access with a card or fob. Common in workplaces and hotels, they integrate with existing access control systems.
Digital Keypad Locks – Users enter a unique PIN to unlock their locker. Some models feature auto-locking for added security.
Networked Electronic Locks – These locks connect to a central system, enabling remote management and tracking of locker usage.
Coin and Token Locks
Helmsman lockers offer coin-operated locks, ensuring lockers are available after each use.
Returnable Coin Locks – Users insert a coin to lock the locker. The coin is returned when they unlock it. These are ideal for gyms and leisure centres.
Retention Coin Locks – The coin remains in the lock, encouraging responsible locker use. Common in swimming pools and public changing areas.
Token-Operated Locks – These work similarly to coin locks but use specific tokens instead of standard coins.
Master Key Systems
Managing multiple lockers is easier with a master key system. Helmsman provides solutions for administrators and facility managers.
Master Key Overrides – A master key can open all lockers in a system, allowing quick access in case of lost keys or emergencies.
Sub-Master Key Systems – Different levels of access can be assigned, ensuring controlled locker management. Key Storage and Management Accessories
