Before you call

List your doors, your users and any special rules, such as hours of access.

Good to know

The biggest benefit of access control is not the cards; it is being able to end someone’s access in seconds. Plan for what happens at each door if the power fails, and make sure exit doors always allow people out. A simple system with a few doors is usually enough for a small business.

When this is not the right fix

Larger buildings or sites with complex security needs may require a specialist integrator. We will say so.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose access control over keys?+

When someone leaves, you cancel their card. You do not need to collect keys or rekey the doors.

What happens when the power fails?+

It depends on how each door is set up. Exit doors must always let people out.

Can staff share one code?+

They can, but individual cards or codes give you records and let you remove one person at a time.
