| NEW ORLEANS, June 24, 2003 - Continuing its
commitment to delivering state-of-the-art access management solutions to
the hospitality industry, SAFLOK is pleased to introduce eSecure, its Web-based
electronic lock system.
eSecure, a user friendly, Windows-based front desk system, requires no capital investment - properties just pay a monthly usage fee and receive the system software and electronic locks. The system works in conjunction with the Gibraltar� lock by SAFLOK, an extremely durable lock that provides unparalleled electronic security. SAFLOK will install the system and locks and provide technical support and service for the entire system throughout the life of the program contract. A significant benefit of eSecure is the fact that the monthly usage fees are based strictly on occupancy, therefore, properties pay only when they are receiving revenue from bookings. This structure is even more beneficial for properties operating on only a partial year business cycle. To make keys or perform other transactions on eSecure, a user simply logs into SAFLOK�s remote server via dial-up or other Internet connection and follows the point-and-click prompts. The request to encode a new keycard is completed within seconds. �With eSecure, SAFLOK can offer the opportunity to upgrade guest security
to properties who may otherwise lack the immediate capital to do so,� said
Phil Abrams, national director of sales for eSecure. �The combination
of an advanced front desk system, top-of-the-line locks and affordable
monthly pricing truly demonstrates that SAFLOK delivers access management
solutions based on customer needs.�
�Installing eSecure at the Super 8 Motel Kissimmee/Orlando Area has definitely sparked a long-term relationship,� noted Abrams. �Having electronic locks has improved all aspects of the property, from guest services to employee satisfaction. We are proud to have been able to guide the property through its electronic access management experience.� A leading developer and manufacturer of electronic locks and access management systems, SAFLOK delivers state-of-the-art solutions to customers in the hospitality and multihousing industries. SAFLOK�s innovations, including the Windows-based System 6000�, Passport� operating system, Security Access Manager (SAM�) for multihousing and Messenger� wireless access network, are designed to fit the requirements of properties of all sizes. The MT� lock is the only electronic lock that is certified as being compliant with the ANSI/BHMA A156.25 2002 standard.
