Commercial Fob Door Entry Systems
Commercial key fob entry systems provide a simple way to get your employees in and out of the office. Organise your building's entry and exit without the hassle of managing keys and locks. In this article, we’ll explain commercial key fob entry systems and how they can benefit your office or workplace.
Commercial Wireless Door Locks
The first component of a commercial key fob door lock system is the actual door lock. Now, these can be wired or wireless (battery-powered) and will need to be installed on all the doors where you want restricted access.
The ASSA ABLOY Incedo: Wireless Door Locks are super easy to install, since they are wireless, you don’t have to fiddle around with wiring and manually connecting them to your internal system.
These locks are perfect for commercial use for a few reasons. They are conveniently managed with the Incedo cluster, which allows you to manage up to 32 doors on your site. The Incedo locks also come in various styles so can choose an option that best suits your office space or building.
The key fob door locks can also be configured to be compatible with card and token credentials, as well as our Incedo Mobile Key. This gives you the flexibility to choose how you regulate and distribute access.
Cluster Controller for Offices
As we mentioned earlier, your cluster controller is the heart of your commercial key fob door entry system. A cluster controller is a piece of hardware that comes loaded with specialised software to manage all the wireless doors in your building or office.
Incedo offers a cluster controller that can handle up to 32 wireless doors, which is more than enough for a commercial building. You can also connect up to 8 door reader modules to your Incedo cluster controller.
If you’re planning to scale your commercial site, the Incedo cluster controller will be a good companion, since you can simply add more hardware to the unit without changing the entire system.
Cards and Tokens
You’ve got a few options when it comes to unlocking wireless locks in your building or office. Many commercial buildings still use physical credentials like cards or tokens that are programmed to give the owner access.
The great thing about Incedo wireless locks is that they are compatible with cards and other forms of digital credentials. The Incedo cards and tokens partner well with wireless locks and are ideal for most workplaces. If you already have a card system then this will be the ideal route for your building.
For any physical credentials, you’ll need a reader to program the cards and tokens. We recommend the ASSA ABLOY‘s USB Reader. It’s designed to work seamlessly with the Incedo systems and it’s plug-and-play so you don’t need customer support or IT to get started.
Maybe you’re a smaller office and don’t want to mess around with key cards, then you can opt for mobile keys. Mobile keys use your smartphone to send signals to your commercial key fob entry systems. They’re simple to set up and these days you’re more likely to forget your key card than your phone!
