In VertiGIS FM, individual locks are the lowest lock level in a locking system. An individual lock opens a lock for a single room in your facility.
Individual locks must be associated with cylinders, doors, and rooms in your system to establish their building access. These associations document the room the individual lock protects, as well as the rooms the group lock keys and central lock keys above it in its locking system hierarchy can access.
Details Page
Every individual lock in a locking system has its own details page that stores its properties and documents its hierarchical relationships to other locks. You can access an individual lock's details page by double-clicking an individual lock in the Individual Locks section on its locking system's details page.
