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.
