Access Control Systems

Access Control empowers you to control who has access to your building and property.

The problems of using ordinary mechanical keys are:

• Keys can be lost or stolen
• You are forced to change your locks if a key goes missing
• You are forced to replace keys if a key goes missing
• Keys can be copied and freely distributed
• Doors tend to be left unlocked during the day when people are most likely to access the building

The benefits of using a door keypad for access control:

• Choice of issuing one PIN for the whole building or multiple PIN numbers for each person granted access
• No need to spend money on replacing lock if a PIN is compromised. Simply change the PIN needed to access the building
• No costs involved in issuing new PIN numbers
• If a PIN is stolen, simply block access to that PIN number
• Door locks automatically when door is closed

The benefits of using card access control:

• No PIN to share with others – actual card is needed for access
• Quicker than typing in a PIN – just swipe or touch card for access. Perfect if there is going to be a high number of people accessing the building
• Track who is accessing what and when via their Access Card
• Give different levels of access to different parts of building rather than issuing multiple keys or multiple PINs
• If card is lost – block access to that card and simply issue a new one (you can charge a card replacement fee from your users if you like)
• No need to replace electronic lock if card is lost or stolen. Just block the card
• Door locks automatically when door is closed
