Access control gives you control over your business facility (or home) by restricting access to visitors, tenants, or your employees. A facility with multiple employees, tenants, or visitors needs access control. You may or may not get a key back when an employee or tenant leaves or is terminated. With access control there is an audit trail of who entered your facility and when; thus a growing presence in many businesses. Each individual has a unique card or key-tag which allows access to selected doors at selected times. Cards or key-tags can easily be deleted when employees leave. When needed, the system can give you reports of who went where and when.

Most access control systems consist of: client-supplied computer (software), controller (lock/unlock doors), view all, hardware back-up battery (power failures), reader (keypad, proximity, fingerprint), request to exit button or motion detector (unlock door from interior), door contact (door open alarm), and locking device (electric door strike, magnetic lock, gate)
