When is it an Emergency? Recognizing the Signs

An emergency access control situation can manifest in several ways. It’s crucial to act swiftly when you encounter any of the following:

• Complete System Failure: Your entire access control system is unresponsive, leaving doors locked or unlocked when they shouldn’t be.
• Malfunctioning Locks: Electronic locks fail to engage or disengage, creating security vulnerabilities or preventing entry.
• Unauthorized Access Alerts: Your system indicates a potential breach or unauthorized entry attempt.
• Physical Damage: Components of your access control system have been damaged due to vandalism or accidents.
• Lost or Stolen Access Credentials: The loss of keycards, fobs, or codes that grant access to sensitive areas.
• Urgent Need for Access: Critical personnel or resources need immediate access to a secured area, and the system is preventing it.
