Are you tired of numerous cases of lost keys and the inconveniences they portend? For a long time, keys and locks have been the mainstay of securing buildings. But advances in technology have offered keyless security systems that are far more convenient. Today's keyless entry systems make security systems more manageable, even remotely. You can allow someone into your workplace from your smartphone. If you are looking to upgrade the security at your workplace, you can ask commercial locksmith services to install one or several of the following keyless entry systems.
1. Card Access Control Systems
A card access control system uses electronic programmed cards to grant or deny access. The cards have embedded chips that store information about their users. When the user holds the card close to an electronic reader, the reader extracts the data from the card and processes it locally or in the cloud if it is wireless.
A commercial locksmith can program a card access control system in different ways: they can limit access only to certain people, or they can limit certain times of the day when certain people may enter or exit.
2. PIN Keypads
A PIN keypad is a type of access control system that uses four or more digit personal identification numbers to grant or deny entry. It can also be combined with card access. When the user holds his card close to the keypad, the keypad reads the data from the card's embedded chip and grants access if the PIN code matches its own. A PIN keypad is usually installed on the door frame near the door handle for convenience.
3. Biometric Locks
Biometric locks use a person's unique biometric data to grant or deny entry. They can be used alongside other access control systems or they can be used as standalone security systems. The most common biometric systems are fingerprint locks and retina scans.
Retina scans use cameras to scan the iris of a person's eyes, which are unique to every person. Fingerprint locks use scanners to read fingerprints, which are also unique to every person. Commercial locksmith services can program numerous users into this kind of system.
4. Wifi/Bluetooth Locks
Wifi and Bluetooth locks are wireless keyless entry systems that use wifi and Bluetooth signals to grant or deny access. The user must have a paired device (usually a smartphone) for the lock to recognize them. Today's wireless locks can be opened remotely over the internet, which makes them secure and convenient.
