Overview Why use User Codes? With ordinary door locks, the need to make physical copies of metal keys and distributing them can be a huge organizational and financial task -- and what will you do if someone causes a security breach by accidentally losing their key? The answer lies in the advantage of "firmware". The firmware can be programmed (and re-programmed again and again) to suit your changing requirements. No more metal keys to distribute...
Terminology DL-Windows DL-Windows is a computer program that allows you to program your ALARM LOCK T3 Security Lock.
