What Is an Access Control System?
An access control system replaces traditional keys with electronic credentials, so you decide who can open which doors and when. Instead of cutting and tracking metal keys, each person is given a credential such as a card, key fob or PIN code that unlocks the doors they are permitted to use.
When a credential is presented at a reader or keypad, the system checks whether it is authorized and then releases the electronic door lock to allow entry. This gives you a clear, manageable way to control access throughout a property.
- Card and fob entry: tap or present a credential to unlock the door
- Keypad entry: enter a PIN code instead of carrying a physical credential
- Electronic door locks: magnetic locks and electronic hardware that release on a valid credential
- Permission-based entry: grant or restrict access door by door, person by person
Commercial Access Control
For offices, retail spaces, warehouses and other business properties, access control helps you secure entrances, restrict sensitive areas and manage employee and visitor access. Rather than reissuing locks when keys are lost or staff change, you manage who has access through the system.
Access Control Bay Area installs and services commercial access control systems, including card-access systems and readers, keypad entry and electronic door hardware such as magnetic locks and door closers.
