Card Readers and Other Input Devices

HID Card Reader
Finger Print Reader
  • Card Readers – Card Readers are devices that emit a radio wave that interacts with a card or token in order to read its particular number.  The value read is then compared to a database of allowed cards to see if that card is authorized for that door at that time.  
  • Finger Print Scanner - Finger Print scanners have the advantage of not requiring cards, which can be lost or used by others
  • Keypads - Keypads also don't require a physical card, but codes could be given to others.
  • Smart Phones - The newest option is for smartphones to be used as the access cards.

"Very Impressed"

"you did absolutely everything you said you were going to do for the price quoted, explained things very thoroughly, technician was on time and very professional . . ."

- Rick (Home Owner)

"I'm so glad I went with you"

"I'm really liking it. It's so easy to use, even the app. I forgot to set it once and got a reminder text and was able to set it from my cell phone at my appointment. Also like the feature of knowing that my pet sitter has come and gone."

- Rick (Home Owner)

Electronic Locks

  • Magnetic Locks – A magnetic lock or Mag Lock is comprised of a large electro magnet that is attached to the door frame and a steel plate that is attached to the door.  The locking action is accomplished by applying electricity to the magnet.  This magnet will provide a locking force of 600 to 1,200 pounds.  There are two important characteristics of mag locks that need to be considered. First, in the event of an emergency mechanisms need to be provided to insure that power to the lock can be cut off so that people may exit.  this is usually accomplished with a push to exit button, or and energized push bar.  A request to exit motion detector is normally installed to sense when someone is about to leave the building and releases the lock automatically.

  • Electric Door Strikes – An Electric Strike uses the existing door hardware and just replaces the strike in the door frame with one that can be caused to release electgrically.  This eliminates the issues associated with getting out of the protected area, because you can still turn the handle or push the push bar to exit the property.  Also, if the card reader were to malfunction, you could still use a key to unlock the door.  This makes the electric strike the lock of choice in most applications.

Our deadbolts can be operated with a smart-card, fob, or even a smart-phone.  No wiring is required so these attractive locks can be easily retrofitted into existing buildings.
