Access Control : Gates & Doors

Access control is a method of guaranteeing that people are who they say they are and that they have the appropriate access to specific areas or information.

A keycard is a security car with token built into it that grants you access through electrically-powered doors. These systems require a keycard reader (installed on the door) and you gain access by either tapping your card on the reader (proximity reader), swiping it (swipe reader), or inserting it (insert reader).

With keycards, the user no longer needs to insert a metal or traditional key into a tumbler lock to gain access. Instead, there is an embedded access credential on the keycard magnetic strip, or as a chip in the card itself, and this is read by the keycard reader each time you attempt an unlock. If the unique code on your card is recognized by the reader, permission is granted for access.
