Services
Electric Strikes
Electric strikes use electromagnetic technology to secure doors with fail-safe or fail-secure mechanisms. Our systems integrate with key cards, fobs, or mobile credentials, offering durability and long-term ROI. Compatible with various door types, including fire-rated and commercial applications, these strikes ensure security while allowing remote access control for modern facilities.
Smart Card Systems
Smart card systems provide encrypted, customizable security solutions for physical and digital access. These systems support multi-factor authentication, real-time access management, and integration with network security. Ideal for corporations and educational institutions, they offer enhanced tracking, user-friendly interfaces, and scalability to adapt to growing organizational needs.
Mobile Access Control
Mobile access control enables smartphone credentials for secure entry, eliminating physical cards. Using NFC or BLE technology, it offers remote access updates, reduced waste, and seamless integration with existing systems. This solution suits modern organizations seeking flexible, future-proof security with easy scalability for evolving operational demands.
Proximity Door Locks
Proximity RFID systems use radio waves for contactless access with fobs or cards. These energy-efficient locks provide long-range readability, ideal for parking management and gate control. While less secure than smart cards, they remain a cost-effective entry-level option with easy integration into existing access infrastructures for low-risk environments.
Cloud Access Systems
Cloud-based systems manage access control via subscription software, enabling centralized monitoring and instant updates. Features include real-time security alerts, scalable infrastructure without on-site servers, and pay-as-you-go pricing. This solution supports IP-enabled devices and ACaaS (Access Control as a Service) models for businesses seeking flexible, modern security management.
