Ability to Manage Who Has Access

With an access control system, unlike physical keys which can be copied or stolen, you can easily manage credentials for who is allowed to enter each particular door. This allows you to revoke access from terminated employees and other individuals who you no longer want to be able to enter. You can also easily put new employees into the system, eliminating the hassle of copying and distributing keys. Promoting an employee’s access credentials is also easily, allowing you a simple solution for programming higher-level access.

Evidence in Case of Incident

In case a theft or other incident occurs at your workplace, an access control system allows you useful data that may be used as supporting evidence. In case the source of the problem is not evident, an access control system provides data that can be used to track down the root cause.

In cases where you need to allow vendors and other third parties access to your building, you can provide that access easily for the amount of time you wish it to be given. Access control can be managed on sight or off sight, either by the company itself or by a third-party monitoring company.

Integration with Other Security Technology

When paired with a CCTV camera system, which can also be installed by a locksmith company, a business can have a strong security net in place to catch any criminal activity that occurs on the property. Along with security camera technology, access control can also be integrated with alarm systems. This can be especially useful for fire and emergency exits, to prevent unauthorized access.
