Access Control Installations for Hospitals

Keypad Access Control
Businesses who have a significant number of employees find having at least one door on their building having a keyless access control lock very convenient. The price of the lock varies with the level of intelligence of the lock. For example, if only being able to have users gain entrance with a lock and not being concerned with how many times they enter or when, then a lower level of intelligence is fine. A good example of this would be used on say, a server room door, an internal door on building. However, with an exit/entry door, most employers want to know who gains entry and when. As brief a summary as this post, it is also very important to know whom on your team will be managing the lock system. Most software modules that come with quality systems have very friendly user interfaces along with good technical support teams to assist if you need them. Ask your Phoenix locksmith about options for access control.

GUIDELINES FOR KEY CONTROL
1. Use keys that TRULY cannot be duplicated. Keys marked DO NOT DUPLICATE are a deterrent, but not usually enough for peace of mind. Our High-security keys are highly specific. Restricted. Meaning they cannot be found anywhere commonplace (such as Ace Hardware, Home Depot etc), so employees cannot run all over town looking for a store to make a copy. Our keys are registered and keep you safe from having unwanted key duplication.
2. Require ex-employees to turn in all issued Hi-Security keys. If this does not happen, then it is time to re-key again. If they turn in their key, you are confident security has not been breached.
3. Consider installing access control locks that can be coded with a keypad or a key-card system in which entries and exits are audited, codes can be changed easily when a card is lost, etc. and you can do it yourself.
4. Do not have a master key for all doors. Individual offices and restricted work areas should always have separate keys. Master key systems are great for convenience, not great for security.
5. Have someone manage the key system for your business AND keep your spare keys in a locked cabinet.
6. Issue as few keys as possible. Issue them only for areas the employee is authorized to be in. Keep up-to-date records of keys issued to which employees. Ask your ASAP locksmith to engrave these for you.
