Don’t lose your card!
If you’re using an electric strike that requires a card for access comtrol system, be sure you keep your card in a safe place. These cards are sometimes expensive to replace. More importantly, you may not be able to enter your property or office building after hours.
The keypad or card reader used to activate the electric strike is quite visible in access control solutions. That, of course, is necessary for people to be able to enter the building quickly after entering a code or swiping a card. However, since it is visible, it may be more prone to tampering or vandalism. However, most electric locks sold today are very safe, and “hacking” a code presents too big of a challenge for would-be burglars.
