Commercial Security Systems

Flexible & Trackable Access

Access control is the foundation of physical security. It determines who can enter your facility, when they can enter and which areas they can access. In today’s business environment, relying on traditional keys alone is no longer sufficient. Lost keys, unauthorized duplication and lack of audit trails can leave your facility vulnerable.

Modern commercial keyless entry systems solve these problems by offering secure, flexible, and trackable access methods that can be managed remotely and updated in real time.

 

Types of Access Control Systems 

Types of Access Control Systems 

1. Buzzer Systems are commonly used at entry points where visitor screening is required. These systems allow staff to remotely unlock doors after verifying identity via intercom or video.

Benefits:

  • Controlled visitor access
  • Integration with video surveillance
  • Ideal for reception areas, schools and multi-tenant buildings

2. Maglock Systems use powerful electromagnetic locks to secure doors. These locks are activated or released electronically, often in conjunction with access credentials like cards or fobs.

Advantages:

  • Strong holding force for high-security areas
  • Compatible with fire and life safety systems
  • Can be integrated with keypads, readers and exit devices

Maglocks are ideal for glass doors, emergency exits and areas requiring fail-safe configurations.

3. Keyless Entry Systems eliminate the need for physical keys, using digital credentials instead. These systems can include PIN codes, mobile apps, biometric readers, or RFID cards.

Benefits:

  • No risk of lost or copied keys
  • Easy to update access permissions
  • Remote access management

Keyless entry is perfect for businesses seeking convenience without compromising security.

4. Key Fob Systems use small, programmable devices that communicate with readers to grant access. Fobs can be assigned to individuals and programmed with specific permissions. They function the same as RFID cards.

Advantages:

  • Simple and user-friendly
  • Easily deactivated if lost
  • Trackable access logs

These systems are widely used in office buildings, apartment complexes and healthcare facilities.

5. Card Access Systems use proximity or smart cards to unlock doors. Cards can be programmed with time-based access, area restrictions and user-specific credentials.

Features:

  • Scalable for large organizations
  • Integration with time tracking and attendance systems
  • Supports multi-factor authentication

Card access is a cornerstone of modern commercial keyless entry systems, offering both security and flexibility.

Biometric Readers: High-Security, Touchless Access Control

As businesses seek more secure and convenient ways to manage access, biometric readers are becoming a key component of modern commercial keyless entry systems. These devices use unique physical traits such as fingerprints, facial features or iris patterns to verify identity and grant access, eliminating the need for physical credentials like keys, cards or fobs.

Benefits of biometric access control include:

  • Enhanced Security: Biometrics are nearly impossible to duplicate or share, making them ideal for high-security areas.
  • Touchless Entry: Facial recognition and iris scanning offer hygienic, contact-free access. This is especially valuable in healthcare and food service environments.
  • Convenience: No need to carry or manage physical credentials. Access is literally at your fingertips.
  • Audit Trails: Every access event is logged with precise identity verification, supporting compliance and accountability.

Biometric readers can be integrated with Maglock Systems, Buzzer Systems and video surveillance, creating a layered security approach. At Peifer Security Solutions, we help you choose the right biometric technology for your environment. Whether you need fingerprint scanners for employee entrances or facial recognition for executive suites, we can provide customized solutions for your specific needs.
