Kaba Mas La Gard


Product Description:

From sophisticated locks safeguarding classified information and the cash supply stored in automated teller machines (ATMs), to systems securing narcotics and pharmaceuticals, Kaba Mas products are world-renowned for their ability to greatly reduce incidence of theft.

The electronic locking systems like Cencon, SmartLinc, and SmartPoint offer advanced features like one-time codes, biometric access, time lock, audit trail, control of multiple locks, and off-site lock management. Our system products are designed to meet the customer's needs for higher security combined with the latest in industry technology.

Gitcon: Access Control For Goods-In-Transit
Annual cargo theft loss in the United States alone is estimated to be $10 to 30 billion. Traditional methods of container security have proven to be only moderate deterrents to both unauthorized and surreptitious entry.

With nearly 80% of theft accomplished by, or in collusion with, persons having access to the cargo, the need exists for solutions offering not only a higher degree of physical security, but also the added ingredient of access control.

The Gitcon G-50 is a robust, externally mounted mechanical slamlock designed for installation on container bodies utilizing either swinging or roll-up doors. The Gitcon G-2 is a comprehensive trailer and container access management system. Attaching to existing container door hardware, this self-contained unit combines controlled access with physical security, providing accountability through the entire supply chain. The Gitcon G-152 combines highly dependable electro-mechanical locking with the added feature of RFID sealing, creating a complete system designed to anticipate and defeat both internal and external security threats.

Smart Series: Programmable Multi-User Safe Locks
The Smart Series consists of products offering advanced features for controlling safe access. The SmartLinc and SmartPoint products together make up the Smart Series. Retail and commercial environments require safe locking systems that provide the highest form of security and access control, and the system must be durable and accurate. It must offer convenience, yet ensure accountability. That system is found in our Smart Series products.

The Smart Series offers features like multiple master codes, 99-user codes, and the ability to manage up to five locks from a single logic module. Accountability is more than a deterrent; it's the strongest weapon available to prevent loss because it provides indisputable information. For this reason the Smart Series offers up to 4,000 audit events in each lock and 1,000 system events at the logic module.

Channel Strategy
Electronic access control not only protects in-store assets; it provides accountability throughout the entire supply chain. All access events are captured by time and date — recording individual access codes and providing an audit trail. This audit trail is indisputable. Adding electronic access controls to all containers — both in transit and in-store — prevents unauthorized entry without hindering access to containers by credible individuals at specific times. Integrating technology with traditional security strategies will prevent theft and increase your profits.
