The future of Access Control systems
MasterLibrary
This newer style system covers (nearly) every door in the building using wireless battery-powered lock sets that remove the need for keys all together.
These new types of Access Control systems:
- Require additional network cabling and hardware.
- Are typically proprietary wireless receivers that live in or on ceilings and provide 12 or more doors with wireless connections.
- Monitor all wireless lock hardware with low-battery warnings.
Utilizing a full wireless Access Control system like this can provide many security and safety benefits.
- Allows doors to be locked or unlocked in emergency situations.
- Allows teacher key fobs to allow access into other classrooms only in emergency situations.
- First responder key fobs can be loaded into Knox Boxes to give 100% access to emergency personnel.
- Cleaning crews and building maintenance can automatically lock or unlock entire wings to more efficiently perform tasks.
- Districts never need to worry about the incredibly costly task of re-keying due to lost keys.
- Greatly increase building security. Any fob can be deactivated and replaced at any time rather than having the liability of lost keys.
- Rules can be set up to restrict access during particular times or days.
- Doors can be remotely operated to let in sports teams or after school activities while a manager is off site.
Newer wireless Access Control systems eliminate the need for physical keys, fobs, and cards by using battery-operated electronic door locks paired with wireless receivers. This drawing shows one door—of 12 or more—connected to the wireless controller
