Building Access Control: Secure Your Premises with Expert Solutions

Why Access Control Matters

As the threat of physical damage, data breaches, and unauthorized access increases, organizations must prioritize security. With growing reliance on electronically stored information, even a single breach can result in severe financial and operational repercussions. Ensuring that only authorized personnel can enter restricted areas significantly reduces these risks.

A well-designed access control system—whether fully integrated or stand-alone—plays a critical role in defending your building from malicious attacks. By controlling who can access specific areas, you safeguard your organization’s most valuable assets.

Understanding Fail Safe and Fail Secure Locks

Fail Safe and Fail Secure are critical concepts in the realm of Access Control and Business Security. Knowing their differences and applications is essential for choosing the right lock for your Door & Gate systems.

What is Fail Safe?

Fail Safe locks are designed to unlock when power is lost. Power is applied to keep the door locked, ensuring safety during emergencies. In a power failure, these locks automatically unlock, allowing people to exit safely. This makes them ideal for emergency exits and external doors but not for securing valuable assets.

What is Fail Secure?

Fail Secure locks, on the other hand, remain locked when power is removed. Power is used to unlock the door, prioritizing security over ease of exit. These locks keep assets and equipment secure during power outages, making them unsuitable for emergency exits.

How Fail Safe and Fail Secure Locks Work

Both types of locks rely on coils inside electric strikes. The size of the coil determines how long it can operate continuously:

Continuous Current Fail Secure Locks

Continuous Current (CC) fail secure locks feature larger coils, like those in fail safe locks. This allows them to handle long periods of power without burning out. They are perfect for scenarios where a door needs to stay unlocked for extended hours but still lock securely outside of working hours.

Ideal Applications for Continuous Current Locks

Consider a small office building’s main front door. During a power cut, a fail secure lock would keep the building secure. However, during business hours (e.g., 8:30 am to 6:00 pm), the door needs to remain unlocked for easy access. A standard fail secure lock would fail under these conditions, but a continuous current fail secure lock would operate efficiently without damage.
