Why Entrance Security Matters
Entrances are the most vulnerable points in any building, and they are often targeted by burglars, vandals, or unauthorized visitors. Weak or outdated locks, unsecured access points, or insufficient security measures can leave your business exposed to threats, including
Burglary or break-ins
Employee theft
Vandalism
Unauthorized access to sensitive areas
Securing these entry points is key to safeguarding your business and its operations.

Biometric access systems for high-security areas

We integrate
CCTV cameras to monitor all entry points
Motion-sensor alarms for unauthorized entry attempts
Video surveillance that can be accessed remotely by security personnel or management

Best Practices for Building Entrance Security
1. Choose the Right Type of Lock
Ensure you select the right lock for each door.
Exterior doors should have high-security deadbolts.
Interior doors can use smart locks or keypad entry systems for convenience and tracking.
2. Restrict Access to Sensitive Areas
Restrict access to sensitive rooms such as data centers, IT rooms, and conference rooms using access control systems with smart locks or biometric systems.
3. Install High-Visibility Security Features
Place security cameras in high-visibility areas such as
The front entrance
Side entrances
Loading docks
Visible security features act as a deterrent and make it more likely that criminals will abandon their attempts to break in.
4. Regularly Maintain Locks and Systems
Ensure your locks, doors, and security systems are in top condition with regular maintenance.
We offer annual inspections, lock lubrication, and system updates to keep your security functioning smoothly.
