Access Control Installations for Hospitals
ASAP recently installed access control for a Phoenix hospital. There were some security issues at the hospital where unauthorized people were using the doors to gain entry to their family or whomever in recovery rooms and in the prep rooms for surgery. Also, some staff entrances were compromised and items from staff area went missing . Remember, when you do away with keys for these types of entrances on your buildings, you have more control on building access on a minute by minute basis if you choose to audit your site on who is gaining entry and when. Know that if you are even thinking about code access for your employees, hire a competent Phoenix locksmith company that Phoenix hospitals trust to install their intelligent access control locks. ASAP Lock & Security is the professional Phoenix locksmith service that Phoenix businesses choose for their upgrades. Please see our main web site for more information and more photos on access control systems and photos of our work. Here is an example of what an access control install looks like in a hospital situation:
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.
Locksmith in Mesa, AZ-Please Open My Door!
True story from a Mesa, AZ Locksmith. I was called out at 6:45am to please, please, please, I locked my keys in my bedroom. Can you come now, I need to get to work! As locksmiths, of course this is what we do. We help people out of jams, me personally, I like helping people NOT get into jams, by installing high security and code locks-wouldve avoided this story, but…mistakes happen so of course I hopped in the truck and got there within 15 minutes. The bedroom lock was installed incorrectly, upside down Kwikset lock. I took out my pick tools. By the way, do you know how much a good set of PROFESSIONAl locksmith picks (notice the caps?) cost a locksmith? Just let me say…not cheap. So, I picked the worried woman’s door open in about two minutes (remember, I was sleepy). She paid me, thanked me for my kind and fast service and said she really had to get to work. I said, “Well, have a nice day, and don’t do this anymore.” We both chuckled and had each of our starts to our day.
Later on, we got a call at about 4:45pm. ’ Hi this is Ms. xyz, I can’t get into my bedroom again! My key won’t work. What did you do to the lock?’ I assured this woman, that the picks I have–or any other professional locksmith, the picks would NOT-absolutely NOT harm the lock in any way. Do you have the right key for your bedroom door? Oh, yes. I think…yes, yes I do, you must have broken the lock, can you come over and let me in again?’ Are you sure you have the correct key, Mame? ‘Look, I need help and I can’t afford another lock out fee. Please just come over’ I sighed, oh, this woman’s day…obviously, had not improved. I gave her my most rock-bottom-can’t get any cheaper rate to help her, again, because…well, I have a heart. My heart doesn’t pay my bills, but I believe, Karma is real so it’s a fair swap. Back to the story…simple of it was, she wasn’t satisfied. She wanted me to come over with no lock-out charge. I said, wait, let me understand, you want me to come over FOR FREE? I asked her one question and I asked it softly…Mame, do you work for free?
Customers, please understand, we cannot come to you on-site and perform work for FREE. What we do promise, is that you will be treated with respect, professionally and you will NOT be over-charged for services. Now this locksmith in Mesa, AZ, the one with the heart, did not set-up a non-profit organization.
Hmmm, maybe I should look into that?
Scottsdale Police Cyber Bully Guidelines
Direct from the trusted Scottsdale police. In the unfortunate case that your child becomes victim to cyber bully attacks, follow these guidelines:
- Do not respond to the bully. Responding to the bully will escalate the problem.
- Use the block feature found in email, chat rooms or instant messaging sites. Most sites allow users to block specific screen names or email addresses. For SNS (social networking sites), you may need to delete the current account and open a new account that limits access to trusted friends.
- Do not erase or delete evidence such as emails or text messages.
- Contact your ISP (Internet Service Provider), the SNS (social networking site) or cell phone company and file a complaint. Many Internet sites, Internet providers and other forms of digital media have a code of conduct policy or other guidelines prohibiting abusive/profane language or conduct.
- Contact the child’s /teen’s school if it is school related. Find out if the school has a policy on cyberbullying and what can be done.
- Contact local law enforcement if you or the child/teen has been threatened or a crime has been committed.
This Scottsdale locksmith thought it a good idea to post these guidelines from Scottsdale police to help parents protect their kids. Too bad, as I don’t believe as yet, cyber bullying –cyber bullying–the act itself– isn’t on the books as a stand alone crime.
Scottsdale Crime of Pools
The Scottsdale police informed the public a few days ago about the recent rash of pool equipment theft from residential properties. As the foreclosure wave is still with us, so does is the aftermath of the break. There have been few arrests, but Scottsdale police believe that pool equipment is disappearing from properties because of unpaid bills and the fact that the secondary market for used parts is fairly healthy. It is suspect that the pool guys who get stiffed from unpaid bills from their previous customers calling in bankruptcy might even take the pool equipment to help pay for revenue lost? Hmmm? Whatever the cause for theft is really with this pool parts ring rash, the fact is, that you should consult with your locksmith to make sure there is a good way to lock your side gates. This crime wave is happening via unlocked side gates and low walls. This we know. Pool pumps and such are expensive to replace, so lock em up and have your locksmith show you a good way to control access for your yard.
