Benefits of Access Control Locks for Businesses
/
How many times have you gone to the office and realized your key wasn’t on the keychain? Or how many times have you lost your key and had to call a locksmith near you to either make a new key or install a completely new lock for safety?
Whether you have a big or small business, having your Phoenix locksmith install access control locks comes with many benefits.
Convenience
One of the many great things about access control locks is that no keys are required; though, sometimes a key card is used in place (continue reading for the benefits to key cards). This is much more convenient than having to carry around multiple keys for multiple doors.
Having to replace a key or even the entire lock to prevent break-ins can become expensive. Access control locks allow the main user to change codes or deactivate key cards, resulting in less hassle, less stress, and greater security.
Employee tracking
Do you want to track employees coming in or out of a building? Or maybe you want to know exactly who is on the premises? Access control locks allow you to do just that! You can track exactly what door each employee went through, at what time. Imagine how you can use that to your advantage to improve your business!
...Not to mention, it can be a great tool to track attendance and timeliness as well.
Higher security
Access control systems not only allow you to track employees, but they allow you to set up codes or key cards that only allow specific people access to designated areas.
If one door in a building requires higher access, you can set a specific code or enable specific key cards to allow an employee to enter.
Reduce theft
These advanced systems help reduce break-ins from outsiders and even current or past employees.
While the access control locks are generally much more difficult to break in than a regular door lock for someone without a pass-code or key card, it’s possible to deactivate specific cards and codes if they’re misplaced or if an employee was let go, fired or even quit.
If a life changing event happened to an employee (such as getting fired), they may act out and attempt to steal or destroy office property. Changing the code immediately can prevent any sort of destruction or theft.
