Access control for offices, buildings and gated communities

#What access control is for

An access control system decides who can open each door and when, and keeps a record of every entry. It replaces keys, which get copied, lent and lost, with credentials you can grant and revoke in minutes: a fingerprint, a card or key fob, a PIN code or a face. When an employee leaves the company, you simply delete them from the system.

#How to choose the system

One door or several. For a single door, a standalone reader with its lock is enough. For several doors, with schedules and permissions by area, a controller managed from a computer or an app is the better fit.

How people identify themselves. A fingerprint cannot be lent; a card is fast and works for visitors; face recognition needs no contact and can also handle staff time and attendance. Many units accept several options at once.

The type of door. Glass doors usually take a magnetic lock; wood or metal doors can take an electric strike or a magnetic lock. In houses and apartments, a smart lock with PIN, fingerprint or app is the most practical solution. For lobbies with heavy foot traffic, turnstiles are used.

#Safety and power outages

In the Dominican Republic, power outages are part of daily life, and a controlled door has to keep working when the power goes out. That is why we install systems with a power supply and backup battery, and a magnetic lock never goes in without one, because it releases the door when it loses power. We also always leave an exit button on the inside and, where appropriate, an emergency release, so no one gets locked in. People's safety comes first.

#What the cost depends on

The cost depends on the number of doors, the type of reader and lock, the wiring, whether you need management software or attendance reports, and the backup power. Message us on WhatsApp with the number of doors and the type of property, and we will put together your quote or schedule a visit.
