Wireless access: Is it right for you?

Like just about everything else in the world today, access control is going "high tech." New wireless systems that use Wi-Fi capabilities are hitting the market, offering a fresh solution when physically wiring (or re-wiring) a facility isn't an option.

If you're considering one of these systems, also consider:

Battery life: How often will you have to replace batteries at the locks? Does the system require regular, off-the-rack batteries or more expensive ones?
Hardware and software: Does the system operate on 802.11 b/g open-standard technology or the lock company's proprietary technology?
Scalability: Is the system a good fit and easy to integrate within your overall approach to access control?

At Bill's Mobile Lock, we can help you sort through these issues, and others, so you can decide if wireless access control meets your specific needs. If you choose to go wireless, we'll promptly and professionally install a system that gets the job done for you. And if you don't, Bill's Mobile Lock can provide a number of high-quality, high-security alternatives from top-name security companies.

Keypad access: A simple solution

www.billsmobilelock.net

If one of your employees or a family member has lost the keys to your business or home, there's no telling who might end up with them. We can put in new locks for you, but what if it happens again? And again?

An easy way to permanently solve this problem is the use of keypad access. It's an excellent choice for many types of security situations, whether used as a standalone device or as part of a larger system.

A "key" benefit: The everyday user doesn't have to worry about losing or misplacing keys, and, just as importantly, neither does the business owner or person in charge of controlling access. Getting into a building secured by keypad access only requires a simple code,* while changing who gets access can be easily done using a central computer or right at the lock.

Today's keypads are robust enough to stand up to extreme temperatures, while also technologically advanced enough to provide activity logs that keep track of who is using them and when.

For all the details on how keypads can improve your security, contact Bill's Mobile Lock at 734-421-1230.

*"Keypads" can also include card readers and the latest cutting-edge biometric "fingerprint" reader locks.
