ZKTeco Parking Lock Plock 2

The ZKTeco Plock 2 is a battery-powered parking-space lock that raises a steel arm to reserve an individual bay. Its second-generation design adds automatic sensing: a vehicle-mounted sensor plugs into a cigarette-lighter receptacle, allowing the arm to lower as the vehicle approaches and rise after it leaves the detection area. It serves a different task from a full-width boom barrier controlling a shared entrance.

The manufacturer lists arm movement in six seconds or less, a 420 mm raised height and a 75 mm lowered height. These dimensions matter when locating the lock within a parking bay and assessing the approaching vehicle’s clearance. The steel assembly measures 460 by 460 by 75 millimetres in its lowered profile and weighs eight kilograms. Position it against the actual bay geometry rather than treating its dimensions as an automatic fit for every vehicle.

The exact Plock 2 manual specifies IP67 protection and an operating range of minus 10 to 55°C. Its recommended alkaline-battery arrangement avoids assuming a permanent mains feed at each bay, while still requiring routine battery attention and a clean mechanism. Automatic sensing depends on the matching in-vehicle sensor; it is not licence-plate recognition or a general smartphone parking service. Select this model for its documented individual-space function, with the vehicle sensor, remote and actual supplied package checked together before installation.
