Secure Your Building with Key Card Access Control
Key Cards Are a Cost-Effective, Scalable, and Secure Solution for Companies of Any Size
Over the past 50 years, homes and businesses have seen access control go from keys and locks to smart biometric readers. All that time, LockSafe Systems has been the leading provider of turn-key security solutions in Fort Collins, CO.
Today, our clients range from small businesses using traditional access control to multi-building companies with fingerprint readers at critical access points. Whether it’s a big or small company, key card access control is a common theme among many.
Read on to learn how smart key cards offer a secure, affordable, and scalable security solution for businesses of any size.

Small, Smart, and Secure
Having worked with them for as long as we have, we know that traditional locks work well. However, we also understand why key cards are often a more convenient alternative. Many small businesses don’t need a complex security system. However, most could benefit from smart access control to at least a room or warehouse.
Proximity key cards are a great alternative to regular keys. They store limited data but can be updated in real-time to grant employees access to multiple rooms in a building or restrict certain areas to management and senior staff.
As opposed to traditional systems, management could update an access database to reflect changes in company staff, check entry and exit logs, or easily block access during emergencies.
Super Sized and Super Smart
For larger companies, it is not cost-effective or time-effective to expect employees to take their key cards out at dozens of access points. Fortunately, that is not the case. RFID key cards store more data and have a longer signal range than proximity cards. So, as long as an employee keeps the card on them, they will still be granted access to any authorized areas. No need to swipe!
Considering the unique security risks that major corporations and large companies face, additional access control restrictions are often needed. Smart locks by companies like ASSA ABLOY and cloud-based solutions by Brivo are two great cases in point.
At LockSafe, we carry both these brands and more!
Growing Businesses
As an added advantage to traditional locks and keys, proximity and RFID card systems are easily scalable and work well with most brands. Brivo’s cloud-based unified credential, for example, works with the company’s own smart readers and with ASSA ABLOY’s wireless locks.
Also, a professional integrator like LockSafe can easily update a cloud-based system to add new employees or an entire building to your company’s access control system.When you are ready to update security in your business, or if you want to learn more about key cards and access control, remember that our experts are just a click away.
