Electronic Access Control Systems

Better Security From Your Local Milwaukee Locksmith Team

Better Security for Your Business

When it comes to keeping your business safe and secure, it is logical to want to have security measures that put Fort Knox to shame. But, sadly, that is not the most practical, especially if you have customers and employees coming and going all day. This is where an electronic access system (EAC) comes into play. When installed by your local locksmith team, an electronic access control system can give you fully customized control over who can access your business, and when. From simple electronic keypad locks to card readers, biometric locks, and more, electronic access control is a way of giving you the security to control your business without driving customers away.

Enhancing your business’ and home’s security should be at the top of your to-do list for any owner. Using electronic access control systems to protect and monitor your home and business gives your family, employees, and guests a greater sense of security.

Why Consider Electronic Security System Installation?

Protect Your Employees

Electronic access control systems allow you to provide an incredibly safe environment for your employees and family.

Eliminate Key Issues

Eliminating the traditional key is important, especially this day and age. Your home and office will be safer from unauthorized entry by implementing electronic security systems that utilize swipe cards, fingerprints identification, keypad entry, or other keyless entry systems. This mitigates the risk of someone reproducing keys and saves you the effort of having to track every single key.

Restrict Unauthorized Access

An important aspect of electronic security systems is the ability to allow you to control who has access to what in your home or business. With these systems, it is easy to limit access to high-risk areas, reducing the risk for theft or damage.

Individual Schedule Customization

Electronic security systems allow you to reduce security risks by never allowing more access than is absolutely needed for each individual user for any given situation.

Setting Up Electronic Access Control

Whether it is the worry of burglary or a concern over internal protection, an electronic access control system not only provides the right level of protection for your business, but it also gives you peace of mind that you have the control that is right for your business’s needs. When you work with an experienced commercial locksmith, setting up an individualized electronic access control system should be pretty straightforward.

Getting Started

These steps are applicable for businesses that do not have any sort of electronic locks, but they are just as relevant for a business that has some kind of access control in place and is looking for an upgrade or adjustments. In any case, the first step is to find a local commercial locksmith in Oak Creek who specializes in access control systems and schedule a consultation.

During the consultation, we will work together to discuss your security concerns, get an overview of your day-to-day operations, discuss the different reader options, and explore potential placement options. From there, we will work with you to design a comprehensive access control system that will fit all those needs we discuss. Once you approve of the plan, the only thing left to do is for our Oak Creek locksmith team to get everything installed and hand over the reins. Once your electronic access control system is up and running, it will restrict or provide access, collect access data, and generally be a low-maintenance system so you can focus on what matters more: running your business.

Using Your Electronic Access Control System

Ideally, once your electronic access control system is set up, you should not need to do much to it to keep everything functioning seamlessly. The goal is to give you total control over who can enter your building, and to restrict access to certain rooms or zones throughout your building based on who should and should not be allowed in. Once everything is set up, your electronic access control system will create zones, which will restrict access without inhibiting your daily operations — at least, that’s the goal. If that’s not how it works for you, connect with your local locksmith team to have your system adjusted.

One of the single biggest benefits to any electronic access control system is that it allows you to have greater control over the building’s security without an excess amount of effort. Adding new employees and granting them access is generally as simple as adding them to your network; setting the permissions; and assigning a PIN number, swipe card, or any other physical components they will need to use your system. When employees leave your company, or when roles change, you can easily update your system accordingly. Even if a former employee doesn’t return their access card, you can deactivate it digitally; you’ll also be able to adjust or deny permissions for any other access elements for that individual as appropriate. That way, you do not have to worry about a former employee still having a way to access your building. Plus, in the event of a break-in, you can use the logs at each door to see if an employee’s credentials were used in order to track the security breach.

Electronic access control systems do not need much in the way of ongoing upkeep. Systems are typically designed to notify you in some way if there is any sort of malfunction with a reader, in which case your commercial locksmith team will generally preemptively set up backup measures so there is no security breach. In the event of a malfunction, just connect with the Urich Lock team for quick, experienced Milwaukee-area locksmith help. Otherwise, your system is designed to just keep running on its own!
