Door access control systems are a fundamental part of any Building Security Solution. They are a form of access control that utilises a digital security system to ensure that only staff, residents, or other permitted individuals can enter your premises. Also known as Door Controllers, they offer a Physical Security barrier that be integrated with a Building Management System to ensure threats are identified quickly.

Why are Door Access Control Systems important?

Traditional locks aren’t enough

Security has evolved greatly over the past two decades. From the ever-increasing need for Cyber Security, to the latest developments in Electronic and Wireless Locks, traditional practices are rapidly becoming obsolete.

This is why some form of door access control is needed in a modern security system. They add support for door locks by creating encrypted entry points that are far harder to penetrate. For Residential Buildings, this protects building occupants and increases their peace of mind, potentially increasing your property’s value in turn. Meanwhile, when it comes to Businesses Security, the safety of your employees as well as your assets can improve significantly.

Smart Building Control

A door access control system can make life easier for both operators and occupants through their Smart Building Controls. Replacing keys with a cardkey or fob reader can add convenience for those who regularly pass through your doors, but many of the significant benefits comes through IoT Integration

IoT, or Internet of Things, ensures that your door access controls are connected to the rest of your security and Building Control network. This can improve oversight capabilities and allows you to set up remote monitoring for any door access control system. Indeed, IoT devices can communicate with other smart building controls to respond to danger faster, limiting the chances for a security breach.
