THE NEW CORKEY “MARINE SERIES” OF CARD-OPERATED LOCKS



For over 35 years, CorKey Control Systems locksets have been installed in harsh environments: on pier gates in Marinas, for a hotel built on the permafrost in Alaska, for condos that survived two hurricanes on the Hawaiian island of Kauai. Although chrome plating and powder coating of exposed parts have been of help in these locations the finishes eventually corroded like most lock hardware and, while still operating, showed the effects of their respective climates. There are many properties in these types environments, and there has been a continuing complaint that lock hardware does not withstand the ocean salt spray, winter conditions in the mountains and sand and wind.

Modern advances in metal technology have created a resistance to these damaging effects and CorKey is pleased to introduce a line of card-operated mechanical and Entrac® (Entrance Tracking) electronic locks specifically designed for such locations, incorporating Stainless Steel and Titanium finishes with greatly increased durability…
The “Marine Series”.

Mechanical locks:

Available in many functions, the following mechanical card-operated locks have Stainless Steel front code modules and exposed parts.

500ALSSC-T - TUBULAR DEADLATCH
500FWSSC-T - TUBULAR DEADBOLT
500WSSC-T - MORTISE CYLINDER REPLACEMENT
601SSC - GRADE 1 CYLINDRICAL LOCKSET
801SSC - GRADE 2 CYLINDRICAL LOCKSET
651SSC - GRADE 1 CYLINDRICAL LEVEL HANDLE


Electronic locks:

In the past, CorKey has developed versions of electronic battery-operated locks for hotels for interior use only. They used magnetic stripe cards and required periodic maintenance. Since the cards physically touched the magnetic reading head, the cards could become scratched, wet, bent and affected by magnetic fields which could destroy the data on the cards. Then came the age of Proximity card reading, where cards could be identified by simply holding them close to the card reader. These early devices required either batteries in the card or coils of

  
wire and again a separate card was needed in addition to the CorKey card used for mechanical locksets in the same facility.

 
But now instead of coils of wire in the cards, the chip and antenna in the card can be produced on a paper thin plastic film. For the first time it became possible for CorKey to produce a dual function card with the magnetic coding needed for its existing line of locksets PLUS contain the electronic chip and antenna in the same size and thickness of its standard CorKey card. Thus the PowerProx® card became a reality One card to be used in both mechanical and electronic locksets.

The PowerProx card makes it possible for CorKey to offer an Electronic Lock in addition to its Mechanical Lock products:

 
The Grade 1 UL rated Mortise Lockset of Entrac Model 3000M is standard size and shape fits ANSI door preparation. Right or Left handing is easily reversible in the field and it incoporates a one inch throw deadbolt, it is of Grade 1 construction. For the MARINE SERIES, weather protection is increased by the card slot being at the bottom of the card reader. For indoor use the card slot can be positioned at the top. Most unusual for RFID locks, these card readers have metallic housings which provides excellent physical protection. This allows the inserted card to be electronically scanned while inside the housing after enabling the electronics only during the card reading instant. Not only does this greatly inc-
rease battery life, but the transmission from the antenna in the lock cannot be detected outside of the reader providing greatly increased security of the data. The locks are the first of their type to feature “NDT”, (Non-DetectableTransmission). Optionally powered by the latest
advancement in rechargeable AA dry cells, the batteries are expected to last the life of the lock without the need periodically discard dead alkaline cells and purchase replacements. Entrac locks allow their batteries to take a good rest.

 


3000C
 
The Entrac Model 3000C is a Grade 2 Cylindrical lockset with latch that fits with little change to the door in the same holes where standard doorknob or lever handle mechanical locks are presently installed.
Mechanical override for the electronic locks is also card-operated using a small CorKey steel card into the outside trim plate of the lock.
  

The Entrac Model 3000W is a wall mounted card reader for actuation of electrical door releases and “Panic” exit devices.

Additional technical details of the locks of the MARINE SERIES are available on request.
