MIFARE RFID electronic lock for lockers and cabinets – Public/Private mode with USB emergency power supply

This RFID electronic lock for lockers and cabinets is designed to secure changing rooms, gyms, offices, hotels, schools, leisure centers, and storage units. Its round reader, featuring a black face and metallic finish, allows for discreet, modern integration onto the unit's door.

The system operates using MIFARE cards and tags and offers two operating modes—Public and Standard/Private—making it suitable for both lockers used temporarily by various customers and cabinets assigned to specific users.

Two operating modes

1. Public Mode – ideal for gyms and changing rooms

In this mode, the locker is available to any user when unoccupied. The lock remains open until the locker is assigned.

The user presents a MIFARE card or tag; the lock closes and registers that specific credential. From that moment on, only the tag or card used to close the locker can reopen it. Once opened, the locker becomes available for another user.

This function is particularly well-suited for gyms, swimming pools, spas, changing rooms, and self-service lockers, as there is no need to permanently assign a credential to each locker.

2. Standard / Private Mode – registered user

In this mode, authorized MIFARE tags or cards are programmed for each lock in advance. Only registered credentials can unlock the corresponding cabinet.

This mode is ideal for personal cabinets, employee lockers, offices, hotels, schools, and private storage areas.

Cards and accessories

The kit includes a programming card for system configuration, as well as two MIFARE tags for daily use. Badge-based management makes usage far more convenient than a traditional mechanical lock: there are no codes to memorize and no physical keys to distribute to every user.

Emergency USB input

The lock also features a USB input for emergency power. If the battery runs out, an external USB power source can temporarily power the system, allowing for card/tag identification and locker opening.

The USB port is intended for emergency power only, not for automatically recharging the batteries, unless otherwise specified by the manufacturer.

Applications

An ideal solution for gyms and changing rooms, thanks to Public mode: a customer selects an available locker, taps their badge to lock it, and that same badge becomes the temporary key for that locker. Once unlocked, the locker is immediately available for use by another person.

It is also perfectly suited for fixed installations using Standard mode, where each cabinet can have its own specific authorized cards or tags.

Technical note: Based on the provided information and photo, I can confirm the MIFARE functionality, the two operating modes, the inclusion of the programming card and two tags, and the emergency USB input. I wouldn't specify the exact frequency, the precise MIFARE type, the battery voltage, the maximum number of tags, or the dimensions just yet without the product manual or technical label.
