An access control system not only provides security for who is entering a property or site but also permits easy entry with a pin code or swipe access card.
Types Of Access Control Door Systems Forest of Dean
There are various kinds of Access Control Door Systems and each one works somewhat differently. Elite Fire & Security are specialists in the types available and will be able to strongly recommend the best system for your property, business, needs and budget.
- Keypad Entry Access Control Systems
- Key Fob Entry Access Control Systems
- Card Entry Access Control Systems
- Fingerprint Entry Access Control Systems
- Retina Entry Access Control Systems
- RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) Entry Access Control Systems
Keypad Entry Access
This form of access control system makes use of a keypad with a numeric keypad for entering and exiting. Businesses and homeowners can change the numeric code at any time if necessary.
Key Fob Entry Access
This is when someone who has been given permission to access a property or an area makes use of a wireless remote control key fob to open the entry point, much like a car key fob. The fob is battery-operated.
Card Entry Access
Access to an access point or door is controlled by a keycard which contains a security token. A mounted keycard reader opens and closes the door when the card is touched against the reader or swiped through a swipe reader.
Fingerprint Entry Access
Biometric (fingerprint and retina) entry access control systems are growing in appeal because they are considered more secure because of the fact that the entry code, fob or card can not be passed on to any individual who isn’t authorised. A fingerprint entry access control system allows authorised individuals to gain access very quickly, while helping prevent unauthorised individuals from doing so.
Retina Entry Access
Biometric (retina and fingerprint) entry access control systems are a growing market with huge amounts of companies using them because they are viewed as more secure access systems. The entry code, fob or card can not be passed on to anyone who isn’t authorised and only allows access to authorised people.
RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) Entry Access
Access control systems that use RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) allow entry to authorised people. Radio waves are transmitted by the RFID control reader, and radio waves are transmitted by the RFID tags (cards/fobs). Whenever the card is within range, the antenna within it captures the waves and broadcasts a notification that contains a unique number from the chip, which allows access.
Access control door systems have the same purpose of permitting or refuting entry or exit but they do so in different ways. You can have an access control door system in a business property, home or if you have land that is secured by secure fencing and gates which permits you to control who enters. The systems can be designed and fitted to doors, gates, barriers, turnstiles and much more.

The system you decide on will depend upon your property and security requirements. Elite Fire & Security will execute a full security assessment of your site and become familiar with your requirements and then advise you of the most ideal solution for you and your finances.
As opposed to an access control door system, an intruder alarm will not prevent someone from entering a building or area, it will just alert you or others that the area has been accessed without your permission.
