Components of Access Control Systems
Access control systems installed by Douglas Electric in Elmira feature the essential components necessary for secure entry and exit:
- Security Door: Installed using glass, wood, or metal with electronic locks. Most commercial properties choose metal for cost efficiency, durability, and cable routing capabilities.
- Electronic Contact and Lock: Locks doors and monitors status for real-time feedback.
- Access Panel: Controls who can enter, with programmable permissions.
- Request-to-Exit Device: Push-to-exit buttons or motion sensors provide safe, easy egress.

Electronically Locked Doors
Doors can be accessed only by authorized individuals using one or more of the following devices:
- Keypad Panels: Enter a secure PIN to gain access.
- Card Readers: Present a fob, ID card, or keycard to enter.
- Swipe Panels: Swipe magnetic cards for quick entry.
- Biometric Scanners: Authenticate with fingerprint or handprint scans.
Entry typically requires authentication, while exit is handled by motion sensors or buttons that automatically release the lock for safety.

Non-Proprietary Access Control System
Our systems are designed to work with a range of compatible equipment, so you’re not locked into any single brand. Non-proprietary systems give your business the freedom to expand, modify, or maintain your system without hidden costs or limited vendor options.
