Keys vs. Cards

If your organization uses keys to lock doors, Keyscan can offer you two distinct advantages – better security and potential cost savings. Keys can’t be regulated and if they are lost or stolen can pose an immense security threat to your organization unless new locks are installed. For large companies, this can be an expensive and time consuming proposition. With a Keyscan system, each individual is issued a card for accessing doors or elevators. Each card can be regulated so you control access. And, if a card is lost or stolen, it can be cancelled in seconds rendering it useless. It’s more economical and much quicker to issue one new card than to call in a locksmith to re-install new locks and issue new keys. In addition to cards, Keyscan has an assortment of tags and tokens available. To learn more about the technology cards we use with a secure access control system, click here.

Door Control

The prime purpose of an access control system is to regulate and monitor access at each door. From 24 hour access, to time-zone limited access, to no access, you set specific conditions that apply for each individual at every door. Allow office employees to enter via the lobby door after 8:00 a.m.; allow factory employees to enter via a side door after 7:00 a.m., and only if a supervisor has arrived. Set the lobby door to automatically unlock from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. allowing visitors unrestricted access to the reception area. In the event that staff is delayed by bad weather or an emergency Keyscan’s ‘First Person In’ feature keeps doors locked until an authorized individual has arrived to unlock the door.

You assign individuals to door groups based on access needs and security levels. For example, you might assign new employees to a group with access limited to weekdays between 9:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., while you assign senior managers to a different group with 24 hour access. You have the flexibility to program all necessary conditions to enforce security. As well, the Keyscan software records all door activity giving you a complete audit trail, which can be quickly compiled into easy-to-read reports.
