The EA-K1 eliminates the need for physical key management and provides higher security with user-friendly installation and programming.
A basic input for Southco electromechanical lock products, the EA-K1 offers 'plug and play' simplicity with a programmable keypad featuring both audible and LED feedback. The keypad enables up to seven unique passcodes between four and eight digits from 99 million possible combinations. It accommodates multiple access arrangements with a programmable lockout feature and access time between one and 99 seconds. The lockout feature enables a user to set the number of failed attempts-and the length of time-before automatic lockout.

The features and benefits of the EA-K1 make it an ideal solution for customers looking to simplify the transition from mechanical to electronic access.
