True security is being the sole controller, especially when it comes to cash assets, sensitive documents, and precious jewelry. Smart Lock service from Alkashef Al-Sareea provides an exclusive and advanced system to control the opening and closing of safes and armored vaults using One Time Code (OTC) technology—the same technology used by the world's largest banks.
Why Traditional Locks Are No Longer Safe
In a world where theft methods continuously evolve, static passwords or physical keys represent the biggest security vulnerabilities:
- Duress Risk: An employee can be forced under threat to give the password or hand over the key.
- Internal Leaks: A current or former employee may collude and share the password with external parties.
- Key Duplication: Physical keys can be copied without management's knowledge.
- No Tracking: There's no record showing who opened the safe and exactly when.
OTC Technology: Eliminating the "Static Password" Vulnerability
The OTC (One Time Code) system solves all these problems with a smart and advanced approach:
How Does the OTC System Work?
- Open Request: The authorized employee calls the Alkashef operations center and requests a safe opening code.
- Identity Verification: The operator verifies the requester's identity through a pre-agreed security question.
- Code Generation: The system generates a unique code valid for only 15 minutes.
- Code Entry: The employee enters the code on the smart lock keypad to open the safe.
- Documentation: All details are automatically recorded: date, time, requester name, operator name.
OTC Technology Features
- Dynamic Generation: The code is generated only upon request and cannot be used twice.
- Limited Validity: The code expires automatically after 15 minutes (adjustable).
- Encryption Algorithms: We follow strict security standards (AES-256) ensuring codes cannot be guessed or replicated.
- Identity Binding: Codes are only issued to authorized employees pre-registered in the system.
- Duress Protection: The employee can enter a secret "emergency code" that opens the safe but sends a silent alert to security.
Use Cases: Who Needs Smart Lock Service?
1. Banks and Exchange Shops
Managing main vault access so that no single employee can open it without a code from the Control Center. This provides an extra layer of protection against internal theft and armed robbery.
2. Gold and Jewelry Shops
Protecting precious goods with a complete audit trail useful for insurance and claims.
3. Cash-in-Transit Companies
Ensuring containers only open when reaching the geographically designated delivery point, with GPS integration capability.
4. Pharmacies and Hospitals
Protecting controlled medications and restricted substances with complete documentation for every access.
5. Sensitive Warehouses
Precise tracking of every entry and exit for storage areas containing high-value goods or sensitive materials.
Audit Trail: Ultimate Transparency
The Smart Lock system provides detailed and archived reports for every operation:
- Who requested the code? Employee name and phone number.
- When was the code issued? Date and time to the second.
- Who issued it? Operations room operator name.
- When was the code used? Exact moment the safe was opened.
- When was it secured? Documentation of lock re-securing.
This data is vital for Internal Compliance operations and insurance company requirements, giving management full visibility and absolute remote control at any time.

- Code Entry Keypad: Tamper-resistant with LCD display.
