What Type of Access Control Does Your Company Need?
You've worked hard to build your business, so it's important to find a locking solution that fits your needs. If you have employees, you'll also want an access control system that limits access to only the people who need it, and only at the times they need it. Here's how the main options compare.
Keyless Access Solutions
If there's no key lock, there's nothing to pick. That makes a break-in much harder. And if one does occur, a keyless system makes it easy to narrow down exactly who had access. There are several types of keyless access worth considering.
Swipe Cards and Fobs
Access cards are difficult to duplicate, yet they work like a key by letting users into your facilities. Cards can usually be reprogrammed and reissued, which cuts costs if you have high employee turnover.
Cards also record who entered and when. With a system that controls doors independently, employees can have cards that open some doors but not others. As long as every employee understands the importance of keeping track of their card, you'll always know who accessed which room and when.
Biometric Scanners
Biometric readers grant access based on something unique to each person, such as a fingerprint or the pattern of their iris or retina. Biometric data is extremely difficult to copy, which makes it an excellent way to keep unauthorized people out of sensitive areas.
Keypads
A digital keypad also has nothing to pick, so traditional break-in methods fail. Codes are far easier to change on a regular basis than physical keys. We recommend giving each employee a separate code, so that if something happens, it's easy to see whose code was used.
