Business doesn’t stand still, but security feels static. Whether mechanical keys or wired door locks, access control doesn’t always have the flexibility a changing environment needs. When is the right time to expand an access control system? And what’s the best way to do it?
Extending coverage for traditional access control is expensive and intrusive, but there is an alternative. If one wants to forget about keys and the hassles of key management, wireless locks are the fast and cost-effective way to extend any access control system.
But when does it make sense to add wireless locks to the existing access control? What are the key questions to ask yourself:
Do you need more control over your site?
Wireless locks with built-in RFID readers — including Aperio devices from ASSA ABLOY — enable you to control and audit access at more doors
Has your business expanded to a new building, or do you just want better security for existing offices, records stores or meeting rooms? Wireless locks with built-in RFID readers — including Aperio devices from ASSA ABLOY — enable you to control and audit access at more doors.
Battery-powered Aperio wireless locks integrate seamlessly with installed access control systems from over 100 different manufacturers.
Is key management creating more and more workload?
Tracking all your keys, re-cutting keys when they are lost or misplaced, replacing locks that have been compromised; These tedious tasks place a heavy workload on a facilities or office manager. Install Aperio wireless locks and you can forget about keys altogether.
No more mechanical keys mean no more worrying about a lost key threatening security at your site. You can amend or cancel a key-card in an instant.
Do you need more flexibility in providing access?
When your business grows, you don’t always want everyone to access every area. Adding wireless access control at more doors means you can assign finer-grained access rights to employees, visitors and contractors.

So, staff can access communal areas during working hours, while cleaners and other contractors only have out-of-hours access for the duration of their contracts. Only IT staff access the server room; just office administrators and senior managers open the records store.
All this — and thousands more bespoke combinations to suit your workplace — are possible without expensive and disruptive cabling, if you fit Aperio wireless devices to more doors.
