An access control system determines who is allowed to enter or exit, where they are allowed to exit or enter, and when they are allowed to enter or exit. Historically this was partially accomplished through keys and locks. When a door is locked only someone with a key can enter through the door depending on how the lock is configured.

Electronic access control solves the limitations of mechanical locks and keys. A wide range of credentials can be used to replace mechanical keys. The electronic access control system grants access based on the use of a password or keycard. When access is granted, the door is unlocked for a predetermined time. When access is refused, the door remains locked and the attempted access is recorded.

A new and affordable range of access control products, such as keypads, exit buttons and electric door strikes will enable you to secure any doorway in and out of your building or room.
