Can I extend the wires of the proximity reader with an ArchiTech lock?

No. The ArchiTech proximity readers have been specifically designed to operate with the exact length of wires that run from the reader to the PC board, as provided from factory. Do not extend (or cut) these wires as changing their length will likely have a detrimental effect upon the sensitive signal transmissions, causing the proximity reader to malfunction.
