Why Access Control? Within every organisation there are areas that need to be secure.. Installing any access control solution restricts admission to authorised users only. Although conventional methods of key locks offer similar security, they don’t allow quick, flexible changes access. Should a keyholder not hand in their key, a new lock needs to be installed and new keys issued. By installing a keypad, the code can be changed at regular intervals, and new codes issued to the required individuals. The same principle applies to keyfobs, except fobs belonging to excluded users can simply be deleted from the system with no need to issue new codes, or new fobs. More advanced types of access control can also provide audit trailing, clock in/out facilities and incorporate roll call functions.

Battery operated coded locks operate in a similar way to the mechanical locks above, but they operate on batteries with electronic keypad displays. These locks are still subject to maintenance, but they are suitable for much higher traffic levels. Codes on battery operated locks can be much more flexible than mechanical coded installed, allowing multiple uses of the same digit and even multiple codes for different users.

Stand Alone Access Systems are more permanent installations, and often run on mains power. They offer very little maintenance, and highly flexible locking solutions to the end user. The three popular choices of install are Keypad, Proximity reader operating on Keyfobs/Cards, and now as the technology has advanced Finger Print readers are becoming more popular. See below for the descriptions of all reading technologies.
