    Winston-Salem, NC -- May 23, 2013 -- The PowerPlex 2000 Series of pushbutton access control locks utilize Kaba's proprietary PowerStar technology, requiring no wiring or batteries. Previous models required a pump of the lever to generate power. PowerPlex Series utilizes new built-in super capacitor technology to store power longer, up to 14 weeks with no activity. The new integration of technology fits with today's security desires, enhances the user experience and is designed for a broad spectrum of applications.

    The feature-rich PowerPlex electronic pushbutton lock provides access by entering a programmed PIN code, and allows free egress, eliminating concerns associated with issuing, controlling, and collecting keys or cards. Multiple key override options are available.
    Additional features include:
    • 1000 event audit trail
