Commercial business locations require a finely tuned and smartly organized series of security protocols in order to achieve true protection. However, even when attempts are made to implement commercial door security, flaws can appear when this security hardware doesn’t do it’s best to protect your property. Here’s some tips from Top Locksmith on how to make the most of your commercial security infrastructure.
Access Control
This is a fantastic way of securing your commercial doors. Implement access control technology at entry points that allow you to avoid having to share keys between multiple employees. This technology allows you to provide employees with shifting and rotating codes to ensure that only the proper people have access to your business, and at the proper times. Different codes can be assigned to different personnel that work at different times of day – and master codes can be assigned to business owners, that work at all times of day and for all doors.
CCTV Cameras
CCTV cameras should always be used with commercial doors. You want to ensure that there is a working link between the camera’s monitoring system and your commercial door at all times. We recommend a smart camera that allows you to review footage, and watch the camera’s feed live from a distance. This helps you actively monitor traffic into your property, while also functioning as a passive deterrent against potential burglary.
Exit Devices (and Alarms)
This necessary technology is attached to commercial doors that are outfit with alarm systems. Business owners or specialized personnel can disable the alarm, and exit devices allow for smooth and instant egress from otherwise secure doors (a absolute necessity for fire safety.) Alarms wired throughout your business help alert you or neighbors if a break-in is occuring, while also functioning to scare off any potential criminals if that is the case.
