Those with a key entry system looking to upgrade may find the perfect option with an access control system. There are many benefits to having an access control system, as they are both flexible and scalable.

Easy to manage

Access control systems can be a convenient way to manage building security through their keyless and card access systems. Once it is set up, there is no more need to determine which key goes where as they can give the right access to each employee in the facility for easy entry into the premises without any security mess-ups.

Key systems have long been troublesome, as missing keys mean that a new key must be made, and the locks need to be replaced. Other employees will be affected as they are issued new keys to make up for the lost ones. With an access control system, if a card is lost, the operator can easily deactivate it and assign them a new one. This easier-to-manage system can make it hassle-free for everyone involved.

Date and time are controlled by the system

Thanks to its scheduling features, the access control system can give people access only to certain dates and times that they would need to go to the facility. The system allows operators to adjust the settings easily. This allows visitors special access without compromising overall security.

Transparency on who enters and exits

Contrary to traditional key access, access control systems allow operators and building owners to keep track of who comes and goes inside the building or facility. This is a useful tool in the event of an emergency, accident, or theft. Another advantage is the data on who visits which buildings and how frequently.

Mandatory credentials

Some buildings or facilities may need additional security, either because they contain more sensitive information or because they require certain safety training or measures. Mandatory credentials may be enabled by an access control system. This avoids the burden of going through conventional screening and verification, ensuring that these additional standards are met.

Better overall security

Get the security that your building deserves with an access control system that is flexible and scalable for your company. When a company grows, new access cards can be added, and the mandatory credentials can be updated, as well as the dates and times.
