Business Door Access Control SystemChoosing the right access control system can be challenging with all the options available. Card Lock Company® offers a variety of systems, technologies and price levels and helps cut through the clutter so you can find a solution that meets your needs at an affordable price.

The type of access control system you choose will be dependent upon a few factors:

  • Specific needs of your business or organization
  • Whether the door or entrance is used as an interior or exterior door
  • The purpose of the door within your organization
  • Any applicable safety regulations

Options for Door Access Control Systems

One of the first things to consider when looking for an access control system is what kind of access control policies, models and mechanisms your company would use. Next, you need to consider what access hardware you will use. For example, how will a person gain access and what kind of locks will you use? This could be locks, login credentials, keypads or fingerprinting.

How much security do you want? Systems can be as simple as a single door system that allows or denies access to the card user. Multi-level systems can be more complex, which include key card holder photos that can track the user throughout the entire facility.

Card Reader Systems range from a simple key card lock system to an advanced fully-programmable key card access system that interfaces with the Internet. We also offer programmable systems that are computer-controlled and offer the latest access control and security features.

We have many options to choose from:
