Adding An Interlock

Interlocks are useful in scenarios where you need to ensure sequential door operation for security or safety reasons.

For example, in high-security areas with two access-controlled doors, an interlocking mechanism can be implemented. This would prevent the first door from being opened while the second door is open. Only after the second door is closed and locked can the first door be opened.

You can also set a combination of vaults and doors to prevent a vault from being accessed if certain other vaults and doors are open.
