These days, whether you’re managing a commercial, institutional, or industrial facility, keeping your buildings secure is probably a top priority. Adding guards and cameras can certainly help, but there’s no substitution for a truly secure entrance. ADA works with the top access control companies in the industry and has a range of security and controlled access products that can help keep your organization—and the people inside—safe.
What are Controlled Access Products?
Controlled access products are exactly that—doors and systems that control who is able to enter your facility, or certain parts of your facility, at any given time. And these solutions are not cookie-cutter. Depending on the nature of your organization and level of security needs, ADA will help find the right product for you: revolving doors that prevent tailgating, full-height turnstiles that prevent hopping, state-of-the-art biometrics that identify your people by their fingerprints or facial geometry…the list goes on.
ADA and Controlled Access
In the case of controlled access products, ADA is your trusted go-to for the hardware solutions you need to set up your secure entry. If you already have an access control provider, we will happily work with them to ensure our doors and systems work seamlessly with their software. New to the controlled access game? We have solid relationships with the best access control companies in the biz, and can recommend a provider who suits your needs to a tee.
Why Install Controlled Access Products?
Let the Right People In
At the busiest part of your day, do you end up with a bottleneck to get into the building? Controlled access can help streamline the process, getting your authorized personnel in the door quickly and easily with the swipe of a card or press of a fingerprint. This eliminates congestion, improves everyone’s experience, and helps your employees get to work.
Keep Unauthorized People Out
As we’re all well aware, not everyone has the best intentions. Not only can a secure controlled access system keep the ne’er-do-wells out, it can dissuade them from trying anything in the first place. Controlled access can also help you manage the more innocent misunderstandings, like when a visitor wanders into the wrong room, or forgets to sign in with the front desk.
Help Direct Traffic
Just because someone is allowed in your building, it doesn’t mean they should be allowed in every single room. Not only do we offer solutions for secure entry, we can help you keep entire wings or individual rooms closed off to everyone who’s not authorized.
Eliminate the Need for a Manned Entrance
Many companies pay security guards to manage access to their buildings. While this can be effective, it can get expensive. It also introduces the possibility of human error, as it can be difficult to keep your eye on every individual during busy times. Humans are also susceptible to manipulation and trickery, but it’s much more difficult to pull a fast one on technology. Controlled access products help increase accuracy and security while reducing your overall labor costs.
Manage Personnel
Even if an employee has access to your facility, they may not be authorized to be there at all hours. Controlled access lets you know exactly who scans in and when, as well as letting you set the parameters of their access.
Stay in Compliance
Depending on the industry you work in, sometimes a regulatory body will require you to control access. And if you don’t, you could find yourself in pretty hot water. We’ll work with you to find the security solution that best suits your needs AND keeps you in compliance.
Protect Your Reputation
When a company’s security is breached, it can damage their trust and reputation with the public. It can hurt their relationship with customers. And they can spend a lot of money trying to make things right. But that doesn’t have to happen to you—controlled access helps you protect sensitive information, your customers, and your reputation.
The long and the short of it is, controlled access systems help you protect your business and the people inside of it. They can also save you money, improve the flow of traffic, and reduce your liability.
