Types of Access Control We Install
Most commercial sites choose one of three entry methods. Each method, however, suits a different level of traffic and security.
Keypad / PIN entry
A keypad reader accepts a unique personal code at the door. It works well for back rooms, storage closets, and staff-only areas. Also, administrators can change codes in seconds from a central control panel.
Fob and card readers
Fob and card readers recognize proximity credentials that users tap against the reader. They suit offices, warehouses, and multi-tenant buildings. Moreover, replacement cards cost little if one goes missing.
Mobile and app-based access
Smartphones can hold a digital credential that opens doors with a single tap. Staff can leave their extra fobs at home. In addition, administrators update permissions remotely from a secure web dashboard.

Access Control vs. Master Key Systems

Choose a master key system when your budget is tight and your staff is small. Choose electronic access control when you need remote changes and entry records. However, many buildings combine both approaches. For a mechanical option, see our master key system installation and repair.
