What's the Key? A Website About Locks and Safes

Business owners must prioritize the security of their premises. Otherwise, having a multimillion-dollar business that's vulnerable to theft and intruders would be useless. Luckily, a commercial locksmith can help you secure your premises by installing an access control system. Here is what your business or organization can gain from an access control system.

No More Keys

Investing in an access control system eliminates the need for keys in your business premises. Your employees will never have to carry keys with them. They only need a card or fingerprints to access the business premises. At least, you'll never have to deal with lost or misplaced keys, meaning you'll reduce the money you use on rekeying services.

Remote Access Control

Most businesses dealing with consumer products will need a system that allows remote access control. And since you can't grant everyone access to your building, you'll need a system that enables non-staff members to enter your facility. 

Luckily, an access control system allows you to open doors remotely. At least you can remotely grant access to delivery men, cleaners, and other non-staff members whenever they come to deliver their services. 

Protect Your Employees

Security threats can come in various forms. Therefore, you must protect your employees at all costs. You wouldn't want criminals to go into the building and start shooting or kidnapping your workers. So, how do you keep such people away from the employees? 

Well, installing an access control system should be enough to keep intruders at bay. Remember that the system only allows authorized people into the building. Therefore, all your employees will remain secure as long as they are in the building.

Reduce Theft

Theft can be a big concern for business owners. Unfortunately, most theft cases are perpetrated by insiders. So, how do you curb or prevent employee theft? You can start by asking your commercial locksmith to install video surveillance and access control systems. 

Both systems should deter employee theft. And if theft happens, you can easily track who did it with the help of both systems. So, if an employee has been sneaking into the building and stealing items, you'll easily know by checking the entry record of your access control system.

Employee Departure Gets Easier

Firing or laying off employees comes at an extra cost. You may have to rekey the locks to prevent the fired employees from accessing the building. Luckily, installing an access control system eliminates all this stress. You'll simply deactivate the former employee in the system instead of rekeying the locks.
