Regular maintenance is crucial to ensure that all these parts are working correctly, which is essential for the system’s operational integrity and the security of your premises​
Prevent Downtime: A well-maintained access control system minimises the risk of system failures. Should a component such as a card reader or electronic lock malfunction, it could compromise the entire security infrastructure. Proactive maintenance reduces such risks, ensuring consistent operation and security.
Comply with Standards: Access control systems must comply with safety and security standards. Regular maintenance ensures that the system adheres to these regulations, which can be critical for legal compliance and maintaining insurance coverage. Moreover, it ensures the system operates effectively, granting access to authorised individuals while keeping unauthorised people out.
Insurance Requirements: Many insurance companies expect evidence of regular maintenance of security systems. A properly maintained access control system could be a requirement for insurance policies, affecting claims and coverage.
