The
college's visitor car park needed a security upgrade.
Previously, an older audio entry unit called the reception
but there was little access control. Here we see the
new pedestal. The pedestal was fabricated and painted
by LOCK-TEC,
and a new audio vandal resistant entry panel and proximity
access control unit are installed. This solution enabled
the college to integrate this location into the college's
existing access control system which meant fewer calls
to the reception as people who were allowed access into
the car park only had to present their access token
to the reader. |
 |
Here
we see the wide view of the installation. As you can
see, the barrier would raise when access is granted
and this allows reasonable control of the car park which
is located in the centre of the town. |

This
installation shows an audio entry unit flush mounted
into the wall with a vandal resistant proximity reader
located next to it. Again, the installation of the reader
allowed the college to extend their existing access
control system into new locations and new buildings.
The audio entry unit is also an excellent solution as
it connects to the PABX phone network in the college
and makes a "phone call" to the reception
where the door can be released using a standard existing
telephone handset. |

This
picture shows an automatic door installation. There
are many of these within the college and as well as
providing ease of access through corridors and buildings,
more importantly it facilitates the college to be able
to cater for disabled students. This is also beneficial
as from April 2004 the Disability Discrimination Act
(DDA) comes into practice where all public buildings
must cater for disabled access and this means that our
client is well prepared for the new legislation. |
 |
Continuing
on the disabled access theme, this picture shows the
disabled entrance at the front of the college. This
area has a ramp leading up to an automatic door where
the person gaining entrance can either use the intercom,
or if they have a proximity access card, present it
to the reader to gain entry. This entrance was designed
specifically for wheelchair users and the intercom and
reader ar installed at a lower level. |
