📌 What is the eSSL HL-200 Hotel Room Lock?
The eSSL HL-200 is a standalone RFID electronic lock designed for modern hotel guest rooms. Using MIFARE 13.56MHz card technology (ISO 14443A), it enables guests to unlock their door simply by tapping their programmed key card. The lock is powered by 4 AA alkaline batteries, making installation extremely flexible – no complex wiring required. The HL-200 includes an emergency mechanical override cylinder, a panic release function (automatically retracts deadbolt and latch from inside handle), and a high-security stainless steel mortise lockcase available in ANSI, AUS, and EURO versions to accommodate different door standards. The full package (lock, encoder, MIFARE cards, and BIS Hotel software) provides hotel operators with a comprehensive, ready-to-deploy security solution.
With a 20mm throw deadbolt, 3-point stainless steel latch construction with anti‑friction mechanism, and a programmable FLASH RAM control board, the HL-200 delivers long-term reliability, operational safety (tested from -20°C to +66°C), and future-proof upgradeability.
