Contactless entry solutions have risen in popularity over the last decade. Contactless entry means that access to a building is granted via an electronic or magnetic door-locking mechanism that has verified your credentials using your proximity card reader or sensor. Popular options for this are key fobs, and increasingly, smart phone apps.
Keyway Lock Service has years of experience installing contactless entry mechanisms for a variety of buildings in the DMV area including commercial offices and other high-traffic facilities. Read on to learn the advantages of this newer door-entry technology.
Advantages of Contactless Entry
During the COVID-19 pandemic, many access solutions and even methods of payment went contactless for the simple reason that if you are not touching something you are not spreading germs. This remains a firm advantage of contactless entry solutions, particularly for high-traffic buildings.
Smartphone apps are an easy and secure way to monitor building access.
Additionally, using an access control system for entry allows building managers to remotely control and monitor the flow of occupants.
While key fobs have been in use for decades, many contactless entry solutions are now controlled by smartphone apps. This method is not only very easy for users, it is also more secure than traditional keys. If a key is misplaced or falls into the wrong hands, security breaches may follow. With smartphone apps, managers can update information quickly even if users lose their phones. And if access needs to be revoked, it can be done instantaneously.
Overall, if you are looking to keep your building secure and accessible to authorized people only, with the benefit of remote management and ease of use, Keyway recommends looking into contactless entry.
