Fobs, garage remotes, mobile credentials

Access control devices

Access control devices refer to the range of products that can be used to enable access into a building.

Garage remotes are used to open garage doors. They send an encoded wireless signal to the door, and they can also control more than one door, hence the multiple buttons on the devices shown.

Security fobs are presented at card readers at pedestrian gates, front doors, or within lifts.

They contain an inbuilt credential that enables them to be programmed to a specific person and permits access through authorised doors and to a specific floor in lifts.

There are three main levels of encryption with fobs: low, medium, and high security encryption (our terms, not the technical jargon).

Low-encryption fobs tend to be grey. This level of encryption is fine if you live in a low-risk building with no overcrowding or fob copying, but it can be very easily copied.

Medium security fobs are okay and work for many buildings, but they are difficult to copy and can be supplied by all accredited security companies.

High-encryption fobs are very unlikely to be copied, as they have a specific encryption written into them. This encryption normally ties you to a security company, which is fine and something we install as it means your building is safe. But ensure you trust your security company, as you can't buy fobs from anyone else.

Mobile credentials act like fobs, but are allocated onto an app for smartphones, enabling fob access using the phone instead of carrying a fob. A great advancement in building access, and we supply a lot of these.
