The purpose of access control is to grant entrance to a building or office only to those who are authorized to be there. The deadbolt lock, along with its matching brass key, was the gold standard of access control for many years; however, modern businesses want more. Yes, they want to control who passes through their doors, but they also want a way to monitor and manage access. Keys have now passed the baton to computer-based electronic access control systems that provide quick, convenient access to authorized persons while denying access to unauthorized ones.
Benefits of a professionally installed access control system include:
Restrict access to sensitive areas.
Provide auditing and employee time and attendance features.
Track, record, and deter access throughout your organization.
Create tiered management levels of authorization.
Avoid expensive re-keying when an employee leaves.
Remotely administer and control access (lock and unlock doors) immediately to multiple facilities.
Provide a safer working environment and customer or client environment.
