How door access control works

Each person is given a unique way to unlock a door—this could be a key card, fob, mobile app, PIN, or biometric scan.

When someone tries to enter: The system reads their credential It checks if they have permission for that door at that time If approved, the door unlocks instantly.

If not, access is denied and the attempt is logged. You can manage everything from a central dashboard - add or remove users, set access schedules, and view entry logs. These systems can also link with your fire alarms, CCTV, and other building systems.

Simple, secure access control - built right into the handle.

Each person is given a unique way to unlock a door—this could be a key card, fob, mobile app, PIN, or biometric scan.
