Key Types Of Access Control Systems For Your Office

19 June 2024

It is important to do everything you can to make your office space feel safe. When employees are comfortable they are more likely to work harder and feel happier in their roles, where small things like intruder alarms and secure car parking can make a big difference.


In addition to these security features, you may also wish to consider adding an access control system to your front door. This technology makes your main entrance point more secure than if you were to use a manual key, helping your staff to feel safer on a daily basis.


Read on to find out more about the different types of access control systems available today.


Keycard Access


Using a keycard to access your office is a popular choice for many businesses. These can be given out to individual employees and deactivated remotely if needed. This means that the number of keys in use can be monitored and controlled.


Pin Codes


Another door entry method is the pin code, where this kind of access system requires a short number to be entered on a keypad to unlock the door. These numbers can be updated regularly to ensure that the building remains secure.


Biometric Locks


A more modern version of the access control system is the biometric lock, where these are usually reserved for ultra secure facilities. These locks are opened with a registered thumb print or retina scan for a high level of building protection.
