Access Control and Door Entry Systems

Most organisations, not just those with security concerns, require that only authorised persons are granted access to their premises.

Traditional locks and keys offer security, but lost keys present a security risk, and changing locks and re-issuing keys when lost or stolen is inconvenient and costly.

Access control technology provides flexible control over access to your building and can benefit organisations of all sizes and is a low cost, easily maintained security solution to managing exit and entry at one or more entrances.

Readers can be fitted to internal and external doors both on entry and exit side and other entry and exit points such as gates and barriers both personnel and vehicle.

Access Control Systems come in a huge range of sizes and types, from a simple door intercom to a high security biometric (fingerprint or iris scanner) system that controls access throughout a building and tracks all movements.
