The new iCode Lock is the ultimate renters/resort type lock and unlike some other locks, there are NO recurring monthly fees
You'll have a choice of creating your codes two ways. You'll recieve a CD so a code can be generated on PC or laptop or if you prefer you can also log into the web site and generate the code there. Either way it's easy.
With the new heavy duty grade one iCode Resort/remote you can pre enter or schedule codes that are effective for only specific time periods or dates. This can be done with either PIN numbers (codes) or with optional ibuttons (Dallas Chips).This is a very handy feature for rentals! If you'll be renting out your home for instance on Homeaway, this lock makes it almost easy to be a property manager at a distance.

What's the difference between keyed alike and master-key?
Keyed Alike or (KA): usualy refers to more than one lock that is made to function with the same key. Master Keyed or (MK): When all locks can be locked or unlocked with one key. Similar to keyed alike but in a master key system, all locks may be keyed differently but the master key will override the regular user key. In this way one key can open all locks and the locks may be all keyed differently. Useful for office buildings.
Please note that we also have these locks with the IC core option.
What's the difference between the free remote code generating software and the optional $189 audit trail software?
Do you want to program the lock from a remote location at no extra charge? With the new iCode it's easy. Lets say you want to rent your condo. With the free software you can generate a code for a specific period of days. At the end of that time period the code evaporates and is then ready for a new code. Another example: same senario but now your renter has an emergency and has to cut short their time in your condo. Now you don't want the code you have given your renter to work after they leave because you want to give a new code to a new renter. No problem. You give the new renter a new code and that will automatically erase the previous code. Ingenious! The software to do this is free and is not the same as the audit trail software we sell as an option. The free software will be sent to you on a cd and you also have the option of programming your lock online. Instructions will be sent to you with the lock on how to do this. Again, both versions are free with the lock.
How does the remote Code Generation Work?
Inside the iCode lock is a computer chip that runs a complex algorithm. This algorithm is able to to compute what the code should be during any given time period. One way to think of it is that the lock is pre-loaded with codes. For example, if you wanted to give your guest access to your property from Friday at 2:00pm to Sunday at 12:00pm, your lock would already know that the code should be, say, 12345678. Now you just need something that will tell you (and only you) what your lock already knows. Amazingly you don't even need internet access to do this - only the software which can be on one or more computers or laptops so you can do this from anywhere.
iCode Locks Keyed AlikeKeyed alike (KA) - We can key your UCA locks alike (To the same key) if you like. Here's how it works: If you are ordering only one lock then this won't apply. Your lock already comes keyed with it's own keys. But let's say you are ordering 2 locks. Then we will take one lock and key up a second lock to the first lock. In this case you would pay for only one lock rekeyed.
iCode Locks Master-KeyedMaster-Keyed (MK)
A set of locks (2 or more) master-keyed means that each lock can be opened by its own individual key, but there is one master key that opens all the locks. A master-keyed system is ideal for office settings where each person is responsible to lock and unlock their own locks, but an administrator or employer needs to have the ability to access all locks, whether for supervisory or maintenance purposes.
iCode Software Kit For Programming And Audit Trail All new extremely intuitive easy to use Windows (including windows 7) software. Each kit includes the software, connecting USB cable and programming ibuttons.
Data Chips contain sophisticated electronics to store a personal identification number in a coin shaped, sealed, stainless steel canister. This superior design allows the Data Chip to be easily attached to any smooth surface including existing photo ID cards, badges, or keychains. Innovative packaging protects the electronic circuits inside the canister from dirt, moisture, corrosion and static discharge.
Touching a Data Chip to the reader instantly transfers a 46 bit data stream of digital data which allows the user access to a secure area. Unlike keys or other security cards, the Data Chip is user-forgiving... it doesn't need to be precisely aligned to transfer its digital data.
