I lost my keys while going on a run. I called Top Atlanta Locksmith LLC and the tech was fast, efficient, and professional. Oh and reasonably priced. I scoured the web for quotes and they were the lowest in price.

Ways to Improve Your Building’s Access Control System

Technology has played a vital role in improving our safety and that of our property. Home control systems or building access control systems have played a major role in guaranteeing the safety of data and people within the building. One feature that makes these systems effective and efficient is their ability only to allow authorized personnel entry into the premises or specific areas within the building. If you’d like to have more control over who is accessing the facility, access control systems can help you achieve that and guarantee safety for all. At Top Atlanta Locksmith, we can help you integrate an access control point to your door, gate, turnstile, elevator, or any other physical barrier that requires reinforcement. If you aim to maintain an effective system, then you need to consider the following measures.

Evaluate The Usefulness of Your System

As a property owner, it is important to assess the main purpose of having an access control point and if the current system is helping you achieve that. If the system in use doesn’t meet the security needs of your location or provide sufficient protection for individuals and assets, then it is time to consider upgrading your system. Our team of expert locksmiths can help you decide the most suitable building access control system for your security needs.

Review Who Has Access

In most commercial and residential buildings, the number of active cards controlling their access system tends to exceed the number of residents or employees who require it. We can help you eliminate such errors by setting the necessary features required to timeout the cards. These settings ensure that access is shut off for cards that aren’t used within a specific amount of time and that the cards are renewed after a certain period. Our professional locksmith can connect the card to a human resource database to ensure control over who is gaining access to the vicinity.

Upgrade Your Technology

Technological advancements are happening daily, which means a system that was top in the market can easily be replaced by a more efficient one at any time. Keeping up with all the latest trends in access control systems is challenging, and that’s you need to regularly onboard a professional locksmith for maintenance. This is an excellent way of being updated on the ideal access control system for your building. We recommend replacing your system after a maximum of 10 years.

Watch Out for Tailgating

Chivalry or whatever you’d want to call, holding the door open when requested might be a sign of courtesy but can lead to potential risk. It is important always to be sure of who you are opening the door for to prevent unauthorized access or security breaches. As a property owner, enforcing multiple layers of security goes a long way in mitigating the problem of tailgating.

At Top Atlanta Locksmith, we guarantee the safety of all the individuals on the premises and valuable data. Contact us today for more information regarding the improvement of your building’s access control system.
