Electric Locks
In years gone by, when an access control system was installed, installers typically specified mag locks as the security method on every single door. Mag locks certainly have their place, but on the majority of doors in a building, they are no longer considered suitable from both a safety, and a security perspective. If you are installing an access control system for the first time, or if you want to upgrade the locks on your existing access control, there are a few questions you should ask yourself with regards to your choice of electric lock:
- Which doors require electric locking?
- Do these doors form part of an escape route?
- How do I ensure compliance with building and escape regulations?
- How much does an electric lock cost?
