Running a business requires you to juggle several different components of your operation, from managing your staff to maintaining your building’s facilities. However, no matter what type of business you operate, you should always prioritize the safety and security of your employees and customers. Our team here at Eastway Lock & Key, Inc. is here to help you get the reliable security solutions you need, including updating your building’s card access systems.

Reasons to Invest in a Card Access System for Your Business

In this article, we’d like to focus on our card access services and why we highly recommend card access solutions for all types of businesses.

  • Access Control – Card access systems allow you to choose who can enter various parts of your building and when they’re permitted to do so. You can set your card access system to allow all employees to enter the building itself, but then limit access to areas within the facility to a smaller number of staff members. For example, you can grant access to your company server room to just the IT personnel.
  • Immediate and Scalable Security – Another reason to add a card access system to your business is because it will immediately boost your facility’s security and make it easy to scale your security system over time. As your team grows, you can simply create more access cards without having to alter the basic card access system.
  • Convenience – A third reason why we recommend card access systems is because they are more convenient compared to analog locks and keys. It’s faster and cheaper to replace a lost keycard than to replace a physical key, and it’s also easier to update the system to not recognize old or lost keycards than it is to rekey a traditional lock.
