Electronic Lock Cylinders
A reliable and modern locking system forms the foundation for security in your company. Electronic lock cylinders are increasingly being used for this purpose. With electronic lock cylinders, you can cost-effectively and quickly enhance security. Interflex’s electronic lock cylinders can be easily and quickly deployed. With standard, anti-panic, and half-cylinders, you will always find the suitable solution for nearly every application area.
Meeting New Security Requirements
In businesses, reliable locking systems form the foundation of an effective security concept. It is crucial to install a dependable locking system. Due to evolving security demands, locking systems must be adaptable and expandable. At Interflex, you’ll not only find the suitable lock cylinder but also appropriate door handles, fittings, and other accessories to complete your new comprehensive security concept.
Traditional Locking Systems Pose High Risks
Traditional locks and key-based locking systems carry significant risks. When employees lose their keys, the entire infrastructure is immediately compromised, leading to substantial effort and high costs to replace many locks. However, these wait times and efforts can be easily avoided. Electronic lock cylinders allow access permissions to be adjusted and updated in just a few clicks. In case of loss, the access card can be deactivated quickly, making it easier for your employees to access while ensuring more reliable protection for your company.
Electronic Lock Cylinders Offer Effective Protection
In contrast, electronic lock cylinders provide optimal protection and meet the highest security requirements. Access is managed digitally and can be updated in real-time. In case of a lost access card, the locking system doesn’t need to be changed or replaced. With just a few clicks, the existing access authorization can be deactivated, and a new access card (RFID medium) issued. Rooms secured with electronic lock cylinders, door handles, or fittings can be accessed, whether through RFID media or a smartphone.
Electronic lock cylinders consist of a profile cylinder, a mechanical component, and an electronic knob. In this case, the knob replaces the traditional key, and access authorization is digitally verified. Employees simply hold their access card or smartphone to the knob, ensuring that only authorized individuals gain entry.
Versatile Applications
Interflex’s electronic lock cylinders are suitable for all common locks and can be easily installed or replaced in both new and existing buildings. This allows you to enhance security without significant effort and with lasting improvements.
Our electronic lock cylinders can also secure outdoor entrances. In most cases, you can choose between indoor and outdoor variants, as well as different cylinder lengths. From standard cylinders to anti-panic cylinders and half-cylinders, you’ll always find the right solution for your application area. Half-cylinders, for example, are suitable for server cabinets or garages, while anti-panic cylinders are ideal for emergency exits. We’re happy to assist you in selecting the appropriate lock cylinders for your specific needs.
The Right Electronic Lock Cylinders for Every Application:
- Standard Cylinder: The standard or profile cylinder is suitable for many situations and allows locking from both sides.
- Half-Cylinder: With a half-cylinder, you can lock doors unilaterally, such as garage doors or server cabinets.
- Anti-Panic Cylinder: Escape routes and doors have strict requirements. Interflex’s anti-panic cylinder meets all regulations while ensuring the highest security.
Electronic lock cylinders require minimal additional equipment and can be installed without the need for extensive wiring. Thanks to their long battery life, maintenance is also minimal.

Types of Electronic Lock Cylinders
At Interflex, you can choose between several types of electronic lock cylinders. They are generally categorized as Online Wireless and Offline Card variants. Both offer the highest security and convenient activation and deactivation of access permissions. You can select the most suitable variant for your company and specific requirements.
Online Wireless
In the Online Wireless variant, access permissions are managed online through Interflex’s IF-6040 software solution. IF-6040 serves as the central management unit, allowing flexible organization and on-demand activation or deactivation of access permissions. Thanks to the online capability of the locking components, all data is available in real-time within the system, eliminating the need to fetch data when required.
This approach enables special features like intelligent permission lists. The last 1,000 access events are stored and learned automatically, allowing continued access to these individuals in the event of a system malfunction. Specific individuals and groups, including external parties like firefighters, can also be included in these permission lists. This ensures rapid access in emergencies, even offline.
A gateway connects various locking components and the IF-6040 software system. Additionally, following a three-tier security concept, the gateway serves as a backup for the other components. The latest technological standards, such as Bluetooth 5, are used, and data is certificate-based encrypted. With a broad range, up to 50 locking components can be managed and operated through a single gateway, effectively combining convenient management with the highest security standards.

Offline Card
In offline card locking systems, access permissions are managed using the software solution IF-6040. However, permissions are written to the access card or RFID key fob through a terminal for access control. The actual assignment of corresponding rights is done directly at the terminal, for example, at the start of each day when entering office premises. The deletion of access rights can also be individually configured, allowing rights to expire automatically after a few hours or a custom duration. Offline card locking systems offer low effort with the highest security, particularly in buildings without the necessary infrastructure. This way, you can still leverage the advantages of electronic lock cylinders and access permissions. You can learn more about offline card locking components here.
