New Card Reader for Door Access

This service facilitates the request and installation of a new electronic door access card reader at a specified location within our facilities. This service is for adding access control capabilities to a previously uncontrolled door, or replacing an existing reader that is beyond repair or no longer meets operational needs. A new card reader enhances security, provides audit trails, and allows for flexible management of physical access to designated areas.

Key Features of the Service

    • Assessing the door type and frame.
    • Evaluating existing wiring and infrastructure.
    • Determining optimal reader placement for functionality and aesthetics.
    • Identifying power requirements.
    • Discussing desired access control features (e.g., card-only, card + PIN, biometric integration, mobile credential support).
  • Hardware Procurement: Based on the assessment, we will select and procure the appropriate electronic door access card reader and any necessary associated hardware (e.g., power supply, wiring, door strike/maglock if converting a mechanical door).
  • Professional Installation: Our certified technicians will perform the professional installation of the new card reader, ensuring:
    • Proper mounting and wiring of the reader.
    • Integration with the existing access control panel.
    • Connection to the door's locking mechanism (e.g., electronic strike, magnetic lock).
    • Testing of all components for full functionality.
    • Minimizing disruption to your operations during installation.
  • System Configuration and Integration: We will configure the new card reader within the central access control system, including:
    • Assigning it to the correct access control panel.
    • Defining its properties and associated access levels.
    • Ensuring communication and synchronization with the access control database.
  • Initial Testing and Verification: After installation and configuration, thorough testing will be conducted to confirm that:
    • The reader correctly reads valid credentials.
    • The door locks and unlocks as per programmed access levels.
    • All associated sensors (e.g., door position sensor, REX) are functioning.
    • Events are logged accurately in the access control system.
  • Documentation and Handover: We will provide documentation regarding the new reader's configuration and operation, and ensure your team understands its functionality.
