Many organizations need more than a basic access control system, which simply locks and unlocks doors. Advanced access control systems provide vital data that equip you to monitor and manage events at your facility.

Advantages of Smart Card Key Lock Systems

1. An Access Card is Difficult to Duplicate.
2. Door Locks Never Have to be Changed.
3. A Single Control System for All Access Points.
4. Improved Security.

With state-of-the-art facility access control , you will know:

Ontario Fire Codes- Doors & Entryways

Here are few of codes like..

Regulation of Fire Safety in Ontario

Owners of residences, apartment buildings and commercial buildings need to be aware of fire code requirements when installing or modifying any doors or locks in their buildings.

A complete hardware installation and maintenance of fire doors and hardware to protect against the spread of fire and smoke.

There are two main principles to be aware of when installing, maintaining or modifying any door, lock or other access device in a building. Together, these principles underlie specific fire code requirements:

1. Unrestricted Egress – Any door that is used as an exit from a building or fire separation door must allow egress by an occupant using normal force, without special steps that could restrict egress or cause the occupant confusion.
2. Fire and Smoke Protection – Fire doors must be certified and correctly installed to curtail the spread of smoke and fire. Modifications must not impede their intended operation.

Fire Door Requirements

Fire doors must be certified and properly labeled after installation.

Modifications, including the installation of locks or access control mechanisms, must be inspected to ensure they do not compromise the safety, egress and fire containment features of the door and hardware associated with it.

Latching and Locking Free Egress Requirements

Doors providing egress may have security access control systems and locks to prevent entrance to a building, but they cannot in any way prevent easy egress.

Commercial and even residential door frames that allow doors to swing in both directions must provide unhindered egress in both directions. Double cylinder deadbolts or captive keys are not allowed.

Egress door latches and locks must be designed in such a way that a panicked person, including children and persons with disabilities, can exit quickly even in the dark.

Designing an access control solution requires decisions on 8 fundamental questions.

This in-depth guide helps you understand the options and tradeoffs involved in designing an excellent access control solution.

The eight fundamental questions are:

1. Are the Benefits Worth the Cost?
2. What Do You Secure?
3. What Forms of Authentication and How Many Do You Need?
4. What Kind of Reader Should You Use?
5. What Kind of Lock Should You Use?
6. What Do You need at the Door Besides a Reader and Lock?
7. How Do You Connect the Reader to the Network?
8. What Type of Access Control Management System Should You Use?
9. This report focuses on selecting and designing electronic access control system (using cards, pins, biometrics, etc.) rather than key based ones.

Typical spaces where access control applied:

1. Exterior Doors

Gates

2. Storage Areas/ Cabinets
3. Server Rooms
4. Classrooms
5. Key Control Closets

Electrified Lock Types

1. Electric strike:
2. Electromagnetic lock
3. Electrified hardware:

Reader Selection

1. Keypads
2. Credential Readers
3. Contact Readers
4. Contactless Readers
5. Biometric

System Selection

1. Do you require integration to other systems? Integration of surveillance systems (or other systems) with an access control system
2. Integrating intrusion detection with access control allows for arming and disarming of the system via card swipe
3. Special Considerations

Elevators

There are two methods of restricting access to an elevator

(1) Call the elevator car upon a valid card read, instead of pushing a button. This method puts a single reader outside the elevator. A user presents his or her credential to call the car. Once in the elevator, the user has access to any floor he or she chooses.

(2) Allow selection of individual floors based on the credential presented. In this scenario, when the user enters the elevator, the floors he or she is restricted to are lit, and floors they’re not allowed access to remain unlit. They will only be allowed to take the elevator to floors they’re given access to.

Mustering

A function of certain access control systems, mustering counts employees exiting the building via a designated reader or group of readers. So, in case of emergency, security and safety staff may see how many employees and visitors, in some systems, are still in the facility.

Systems we deal with are :

1. CDVI

CDVI offers a complete range of access control solutions; stand-alone and PC based access control, cards and readers, keypads, wireless products, biometrics, locks and accessories.

2. Paradox

Established in 1989, Paradox’s first line of motion detectors featured their breakthrough, patented Auto-Pulse Signal Processing (APSP). By 1996, they offered the first and only fully digital motion detector line in the industry. They continued advancing security technology with the EVO series, featuring built-in access control based on their encrypted expandable one-bus-for-all system. Today, Paradox continues to innovate and invest heavily in R&D. They develop the most advanced and feature-rich security systems on the market.

3. Honeywell

Honeywell is a massive corporation that produces hundreds of different products, including access control hardware. As a business-grade access control system, Honeywell offers most of the standard functions customers should expect, including monitoring alarms and events in real-time, special response messages per account or per alarm, locking and unlocking doors, and adding and removing holidays.Honeywell offers reliable security and standard access control. The WIN-PAK platform manages all your access control, surveillance and security features in a single interface, and it can be scaled as your business grows.

Yes its now possible with advance secure technology , that we can have one smart application that is able to control three different phases of security , those are

1. Door Key Access control system
2. Security Alarm system
3. Surveillance system

Few of benefits of having one smart system are :

1. Single application required for all three phases of security.
2. Less training required.
3. Centralized control.
4. Multiple level of security.
5. Co-Relation of multiple events , easy to get proofs of footage

Access  Systems offers a full spectrum of quality gate products from automatic gates to full gate access control systems. hardware varies  according to swing gate and slide gate hardware, traffic barriers, gate accessories, and wrought iron fencing.

Access Controls

Single door controller entry systems are an excellent way to control gate access at a single entry point. A complete line of controllers, radio receivers, transmitters, and accessories for configuring and upgrading gate access control systems. Capabilities include telephone entry systems, radio-based products for remote “keyless entry”, “panic” alarms and greater handicapped access, as well as traditional forms of access control, such as entry keypads and swipe card readers.

Phone Entry Systems
