An electronic lock (or electric lock) is a locking device that operates by means of an electric current. Electric locks are sometimes stand-alone
with an electronic control assembly mounted directly to the lock. More often electric locks are connected to an access control system. The advantages of an electric lock connected to an access control system include key control, where keys can be added and removed without re-keying the lock cylinder; fine access control, where time and place are factors; and transaction logging, where the activity is recorded.
