FAQ
A door access control system is a security solution that regulates who can enter or exit a building, room, or restricted area. Instead of traditional keys, it uses credentials such as key cards, PIN codes, biometrics, or mobile apps.
Common types include:
Card/Fob-based systems – Users tap or swipe an RFID card.
Keypad systems – Access is granted via PIN codes.
Biometric systems – Use fingerprint, facial recognition, or iris scanning.
Mobile access systems – Smartphones act as digital keys.
Multi-factor authentication systems – Combine two or more credentials for higher security.
A basic system includes:
Credential (card, PIN, fingerprint, mobile app)
Reader (detects credential)
Controller (verifies access rights)
Electronic lock (maglock or electric strike)
Access management software
When a user presents their credential, the system checks permissions and unlocks the door if authorised.
