• The Questor high security lock is born out of a customer need to prevent frauds by modern organized delinquency

• With its innovative operating mode, the lock increases security for live and valuables significantly

• But the main task the Questor is to remote control the opening authorization of safes giving a full and centralized traceability.

• Its simplicity in usage results in saving a large amount of money for servicing and operation

Questor, innovative security solution


Grief with keys? … then, its you we’re addressing!



And what about codes?

• Are they always kept secret?

• Are they changed regularly?

• Is the coding secure enough?

• When codes are not needed, are they always being erased?

• Does every code really belong to only one user?



QUESTOR


Patent pending


OTC, the right solution!

• OTC means <One Time Combination>

• OTC codes can only be used once

• An OTC code is not valid for a second opening anymore

• Generated OTC codes change every time

• Once used, the OTC code expires



QUESTOR uses ICS!

• ICS means <Interactive Code System>

• ICS uses OTC codes

• ICS requires the user to be on site at the lock

• ICS is a new Kaba security concept



The QUESTOR lock has two operating modes

• Mode Interactive Code System

• Standard (bank) mode

The lock can operate in either one or the other mode but never in both modes at the same time!

Operating modes


Interactive Code System operating mode...

Interactive Code System

• Requires a dispatching center(or computer)

• Controls lock openings by remote

• Does not require any wiring to the lock at all

• Allows a total traceability of all events


The dispatching center consists of...

• A computer

• Management software

• Electronic protection keys (USB dongles)

Dispatching center


ICS mode works...

• At the dispatching center, users and locks are registered

• Each lock is identified by its unique serial number

• Users are identified by a four digits ID

• User IDs can be created, changed and deleted at any time by the dispatching center

ICS mode


ICS mode

ICS mode works...

• At the lock, the user inserts its four digits ID

• The lock answers with a question which the user transmits to the dispatching center

• After the introduction of the question in the management software, a One Time Opening Combination (OTC) is issued by the software

• When the lock is closed again, the Questor generates a close seal which must be transmitted to the dispatching center
