E-locks, also known as electronic locks, are locks that are operated using electronic technology such as card readers, fingerprint scanners, or other biometric systems. They are often used in conjunction with an access control system to restrict access to secured areas to only authorized individuals.

E-locks are an improved version of traditional locks because they offer more security and are easier to manage. They can be installed on doors, windows, or other access points and can be operated using a card, fingerprint, or other biometric data. Some e-locks also have a mechanical cylinder in case the electronic components fail.

E-locks are effective at restricting access to secured areas because they are difficult to bypass. They are also an effective way to track who has access to certain spaces and when, which can help with compliance with laws and regulations, reducing theft, and improving overall security.
