Access Control: The Right Choice for Your Atlanta Business

Although the locking mechanism has existed since ancient Nineveh, the locks we are familiar with today were not developed until 1778 by Robert Barron. At that time, it represented cutting-edge technology: a lever tumbler lock that could secure a door when the lever was pushed down and raised too high. It’s fascinating to realize that we are still using similar locks today! While technology has evolved over the years, the fundamental principles remain. Do you want to use outdated technology to secure your business, equipment, and employees? Of course not! Modern solutions are available, and access control security is essential for every Atlanta-based business.

Access control is designed to manage entry into and exit from specific locations, such as a building, office spaces, or individual rooms. If you’ve ever scanned a key fob, been buzzed into an office, or used your fingerprint to gain access, you have already encountered an access control system. While the sophistication of these electronic door systems can vary widely, all forms of access control security provide a convenient way to protect your facility while maximizing safety.

Access control security can significantly benefit businesses in Atlanta. It can be integrated with existing lighting and heating systems to save energy costs. Correctly wired systems can prevent electricity from being used to light or heat areas that are not in use. Moreover, access control eliminates the need to change locks every time a key is lost; business owners can deactivate the lost card to prevent unauthorized access.

Furthermore, an access control system is crucial in preventing theft and restricting employee access during unauthorized hours, deterring potential theft. Additionally, if a theft does occur, businesses can easily check records to identify which staff members were on duty at the time. Access control systems also make it more challenging for unauthorized individuals to enter the building.

Finally, access control technology enhances employee safety in emergencies. It allows specific building areas to be secured and automatically unlocks all doors during a fire, ensuring a safe exit for employees. Additionally, if an armed intruder attempts to gain access, restricting entry to certain parts of the building can slow them down, ultimately serving as a lifesaving measure.
