These are devices used to allow entrance into a protected area. They do this by verifying the identity of the person trying to access the protected area. This verification can be done by presenting a card or fob to a card reader, by entering a code into a keypad or even by reading thumbprints or retinas.

Access control doors typically stay locked all of the time, unless the panel is programmed to to remain open during certain times. As we mentioned, some locks require integration with fire alarm systems to allow for free egress. This is mostly the case with magnetic locks. Request to exit hardware allows a person to leave a building without having to enter a code or presenting a card. The most common REX hardware include push buttons and motion detectors.

Access control panels are the brains of the system. They verify whether or not a person can gain access to a protected area. These panels can be programmed in a multitude of ways. It is important to talk to someone that will help you identify exactly what and how you want an area protected.
