System and method for controlling multiple locks

A method for controlling access to a restricted physical space, the method being performed by one or more processors of a computing system, comprising:

• assigning a plurality of electronic locks to a lock group, wherein each of the plurality of electronic locks are associated with a physical barrier in the restricted physical space;
• transmitting authentication credentials to each of the plurality of electronic locks when a lock control device enters an active space of the restricted physical space;
• authenticating the lock control device, by each of the plurality of electronic locks, in response to a successful authentication of the authentication credentials;
• receiving, by the lock control device, an input gesture on an input unit;
• determining, by the lock control device, that the input gesture corresponds to an enrolled input gesture associated with the lock group;
• and
• transmitting a control signal to each of the plurality of locks associated to the lock group in response to a successful match of the input gesture with the enrolled input gesture associated with the lock group so as to cause each of the plurality of locks associated with the lock group to be in the activated state simultaneously.
