Strong And Effective Magnetic Door Locks
Companies that want to secure their business premises and have top of the range access control that will allow only authorised personnel into different parts of the building are increasingly turning to biometric readers twinned with magnetic door locks to achieve high levels of control. Modern magnetic door locks are today just as strong as traditional door locks and have the added advantage of being almost impossible to force.
The magnetic door locks which consist of an electromagnet and an armature plate do have one drawback and that is that if the mains electricity fails then the door lock will become disabled. This can be prevented through supplying emergency power to the magnetic door lock with a UPS system. Many businesses prefer to keep the magnetic locks on mains power during business hours as in an emergency, such as a fire the locks will automatically disengage and allow the staff an easy exit from the building.
Magnetic door locks can also be used to control access to sensitive areas such as data storage facilities. In many instances the magnetic door locks are activated and deactivated using a card access system which relies on access cards with a magnetic strip containing information on the employee. These access cards are still popular in many businesses, but are slowly being replaced by the more advanced biometric readers which use information such as fingerprints to control access and are less prone to tampering.
The combination of magnetic door locks and biometric readers which use pattern recognition technology to grant access to different parts of the building has proves extremely successful over the years. Most companies that fit magnetic door locks will also be able to advise the organisation on other security systems that will make the building even more secure, such as CCTV camera systems, security alarm systems and fire alarms.

Fingerprint Access Control Is Secure And Reliable
Fingerprint access control is a very reliable biometric technology that relieson a unique physical characteristic to identify a person – their fingerprints. This is vastly superior to conventional access control systems that had hitherto used credentials that are very easy to lose or steal: PINs, passwords and electronic proximity devices that require you to hold a card or chip close to a receiver.
Fingerprint access control circumvents those disadvantages by only requiring you to be there in person – simply press your finger against the fingerprint reader and the device will query the database and compare it to your stored fingerprints. Usually two fingerprints are stored and if a positive identification is made, the system will release the electromechanical door lock or turnstile.
Many systems available
There are many fingerprint access control systems available today from suppliers like Lenel and Sagem and your choice would depend on your type of application. Certain models are totally weather-resistant and are typically used at outdoor boom gates where employees entering the premises by car have to identify themselves before the boom gate is opened. These locations are usually also fitted with CCTV cameras to keep track of car registration numbers.
Other fingerprint access control systems are entirely portable and once the application has been installed on a computer, the portable unit can accompany it. The fingerprint reader is usually attached to the computer via a USB cable and the fingerprint database will reside on the computer.
The cost advantage
The biggest advantage of a fingerprint access control system is that it is the most affordable of all the biometric access control systems. Its widespread use has meant that the technology is no longer expensive and many smaller companies now employ fingerprint readers for both access control and time-and-attendance systems. Of course, the other biometric options remain, like systems identifying people by their hand geometries, retinas, irises or voices. Contact us today for more information.

Chances are that you are employed at a business that does not yet use biometrics for their access control purposes. If that is the case, you probably have to carry an access card with you that you have to hold close to a sensor to open a door or you may need to enter a PIN or a password to gain access to your building. It is plain to see that these methods are extremely easy to circumvent. Somebody simply has to see your PIN or password or steal your key card to enter on your behalf.
Credential Theft
The issue of credential theft is becoming increasingly important as crime becomes rife in South Africa and businesses now try to tighten up access control measures with biometrics technology. Biometric access control systems rely on a unique personal, physical characteristic to identify a person and no longer can your credentials be stolen or lost, freeing up the IT department to do their job instead of re-issuing access cards and resetting passwords and PINs.
Biometric Technologies
Biometric technologies recognise biometrics features like the following to identify people:
- Fingerprints
- Retinas
- Irises
- Hand geometries
- Voices
These characteristics are unique to every person and it makes biometric technology virtually impossible to circumvent, especially when biometric scanners are also surveilled by CCTV cameras to keep visual tabs on someone entering an area.
Biometrics systems can be programmed to only allow certain people in certain areas and they are also very handy as a time-and-attendance system to track employees and keep record of their work time. Fingerprint recognition is the most affordable of all the biometric access control systems and therefore, it is the most popular of these systems.

The Best Access Biometric Control
You should speak to the experts today to install the best access biometric control system at your business or at your corporate environment. Opt for a fully integrated solution that is both modular and scalable to give you the best possible versatility and flexibility.
In short, access biometric control systems do away with the traditional systems of relying on a PIN or password that a user has to remember or a key card they he or she has to carry on their person. These systems have proven unreliable because of relatively easy credential theft. Instead, biometric systems identify unique personal features and can scan the retina, iris or fingerprint or recognise the user’s voice.
