Electronic Cylinders: Advanced Access Management in Commercial Environments

Whether in small businesses or in public services, thefts of equipment and data are constantly increasing. Nearly 41,922 thefts were committed in France in 2022, an increase of 14.77% compared to 2021. Therefore, it is time to consider innovative solutions to protect your doors and premises, thanks to advanced access control systems.

What is an electronic cylinder?

Electronic cylinders are revolutionary access control systems. They can be installed on any type of door, even fire doors, and allow you to easily secure a location. It is not just a simple lock; it is a much more efficient and easy-to-manage electronic product.

You will no longer need a key to enter your administration. Standard keys have many flaws: they can be lost, damaged, and the lock can be picked. With an access control system based on an electronic cylinder, you will only need to present your badge, electronic key, smartphone, or card to the reader to enter.

What are the advantages of having electronic cylinders?

The advantages provided by the cylinders are numerous. Of course, they allow you to secure your access points much more effectively, whether for your employees or your collaborators. Indeed, thanks to their cam security and specific anti-drilling properties, they offer increased security to businesses and administrations against equipment and data thefts.

Moreover, access management is simplified for the human resources manager. Thanks to specific software, you can grant or deny entry to certain doors. Thus, if your employee needs to go to a specific area to carry out their daily tasks, but should not have access to another wing of the building, you can adjust these details in just a few minutes. This simplified management of access rights allows you, with each new hire or service need, to modify each person's specific authorizations. In addition, you can also manage, from your software, access to the site or your building according to working hours. Thus, an employee who should not be in the office at a certain time will not be able to enter the building.

This access control solution offered by electronic cylinders makes it easier to secure certain doors in places that may be open to the public, such as in administration. You can protect the opening of certain doors thanks to these security devices. An employee can exit easily, while visitors will not be able to access restricted areas.
