What is an electronic handset lock?

An electronic handset lock is a door lock where the electronics and reader are integrated into the long-plate handle set (handset). They are commonly used for hotel guestroom doors and multifamily unit entries.

Do electronic handset locks work offline?

Many hospitality deployments require offline operation at the door, with audit events syncing when connectivity is available. Exact behavior depends on the lock family and system architecture.
