Why switch from keys

Full control over every door, every time.

From a single office door to multi-site rollouts with gates and vehicle barriers, access control tells you who came in, when, and through which door.

Doors lock themselves

Doors relock automatically when they close. Only a valid card, fob, phone or PIN gets someone through.

Know exactly who it is

Every credential is tied to a person, so you see who opened which door, not just that it opened.

Access by door and schedule

Give staff, cleaners and vendors access only to the doors they need, only during the hours they need.

Complete audit trail

Every entry and exit is logged, so you have answers on demand when something goes missing.

Revoke access in seconds

Lost card or employee leaving? Shut off their access remotely. No rekeying, no locksmith.

Manage it from your phone

Unlock a door for a delivery, add a user or check activity from anywhere with cloud-managed systems.
