RFID-Enabled Locks
Our RFID-Enabled Locks range provides contactless locking for a wide range of applications, including lockers, enclosures, and office furniture across commercial, educational, and leisure environments. Each lock combines an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) card or fob access with an integrated keypad, giving users a backup access option if a card is lost or forgotten, and giving administrators a straightforward programming interface without the need for any additional hardware.
All Nimbus RFID locks are compatible with our Remote Allocation System (RAS), allowing remote code generation, real-time locker monitoring, and self-service booking across single- and multi-site installations.

Key features of RFID-enabled locks
Our RFID locks can be used independently or paired with existing systems, such as access control systems, to provide a contactless locking solution with a wide range of accessories and options, including an integrated keypad for programming and backup access.
- Management override key When immediate supervisory access is necessary, a mechanical key allows users to bypass the standard access method in the event of an emergency.
- Surface mount and flush fitting options Choose between surface mount (best for retrofitting to existing lockers) or flush fitting (best for new-build installations).
- Wet area versions available Suitable for use in wet and chlorinated environments, our wet-area locks are water-resistant up to IP65.
RFID Protocols & Compatibility
RFID technology operates across different frequency ranges and chip standards, and not all RFID locks are compatible with all card and fob types. So, if you are integrating Nimbus locks into an existing access control infrastructure, or if your users already carry RFID cards or fobs for building access, it is worth confirming compatibility with us first.
The most common scenario is a site where employees already carry RFID building access cards. In many cases, the same card can be used to access their locker, removing the need for a separate fob entirely. Whether this is possible depends on the chip standard your access control system uses.
Contact our technical team with details of your existing card infrastructure, and we can confirm compatibility and advise on the best configuration for your installation.
Scheduled Unlock and locker management
Locker blocking, where a locker remains locked and occupied after a user has left, is one of the most common operational frustrations in managed locker environments. In a busy gym, office or leisure centre, a bank of lockers blocked by absent users reduces available capacity and creates avoidable administrative work. Scheduled Unlock addresses this directly. Available on the Nimbus RFID Lock with Scheduled Unlock (3965) and the Nimbus Wet Area RFID Lock with Scheduled Unlock (3966), this feature allows locker banks to be set to open automatically at a defined time, typically at the start of the day or at closing time. This returns all unoccupied lockers to the available pool without the need for manual intervention from staff. The Scheduled Unlock time is set via the integrated keypad during lock programming, with no external software, internet connection, or additional hardware required to configure or operate the feature. Up to 50 private mode users can be registered on each lock, and a full electronic audit trail records access history for visibility.
For installations requiring more advanced locker management, including remote code generation, self-service booking and real-time availability monitoring, Scheduled Unlock locks are fully compatible with our Remote Allocation System (RAS 2.0), which enables administrators to manage access across single- and multi-site locker banks from any device, without being on site.
