The main purpose of an access control system is to protect your building from unauthorised individuals entering and leaving your premises. The system is placed near the entrance and exit of the building allowing staff members to clock in/out, ensuring that no unauthorised visitors can enter your site, and keeping your employees and business safe.
Access control offers a secure, convenient, flexible and cost-effective way of controlling who has access to your building and when that access is allowed. It is crucial for all businesses to protect their employees and assets within the business whilst allowing individuals to move freely in different areas of your organisation. Many organisations have the traditional lock and key to secure their building, unfortunately, this is not secure and individuals can easily break into the building or copy keys.
Installing an access control system means you won’t need to worry about locking your building door. Fobs are issued which allow individuals to have access through controlled doors.

How does it work?
Once an access control system is installed, all doors controlled by the system will automatically lock when the door is closed. You can only access doors by using a pin or fob, without this an individual will not be able to enter. This allows you to have more control over certain areas within your building, as you can give access to specific individuals in certain areas.
