We’ve all seen them before, those massive set of keys on a massive keyring, not knowing which one is which, not knowing how many people have however many keys for all the locks in the building. What about the last owners? did they give all the keys back??
This is where Access Control becomes the sensible choice
lots of keys or one access control fob?
As you can see from the picture above, access control make sense when trying to control the security to your building, one simple proximity fob can control multiple doors easily.
Huge bunches of keys can be common place for some sites, especially large sites with many entrances, but what happens if those keys get lost or stolen? The potential cost of this and both the practical and security implications are huge.
With an access control system should a proximity fob be lost by a member of staff it can easily be deleted, and another fob issued, no need to change locks, no need to re-issue loads of keys, if the lost proximity fob is found again it can easily be re-instated onto the system. No fuss, no hassle, still secure.
This gives the owner of the premises total confidence that their premises is secure, something you just can’t say when relying on a lock and key system.
