Access Control

Whilst any lock and key provides a form of access control no organisation can give keys to occasional visitors - it is just not practicable. At the same time they do not wish to leave the door open enabling anybody to enter the premises upon a whim. These days we really need to know who the visitor is and who they wish to see before opening the door.

There are many diverse choices. 

Most people are now familiar with simple audio entry systems that enable you to converse with a visitor. If you wish to do so you can open the door without leaving your desk and an automatic closer would ensure that the door locks up securely after use. You could also add on a video system that allows you to see the person you are talking to.

If staff turnover is a problem, or you require the extra convenience, the locking arrangement on the door could be a bit special. The lock could be operated by a digital keypad with an easily changed user code, a card swipe system or proximity token and the latest in technolgy, use the persons finger with a biometric reader. All of these options, and others, enable you to quickly allow or deny access. An ex member of staff could be denied access within seconds of his leaving the premises! This is true access control. These devices can be incorporated into the audio or video entry systems already described.
