Personalized codes, rather than keys alone, enhance convenience while still providing secure access. PIN codes offer a greater level of control and flexibility than traditional keys. A PIN (or “Personal Identification Number”) is a numerical code assigned to authorized users. When a recognized PIN code is entered (during an authorized time period, at an authorized opening), the user is granted access.

 

There are several advantages to using PIN codes. Users can be granted access to a number of different openings without carrying a pocket full of keys. Additionally, overall security can be enhanced by reducing the number of keys in circulation in your facility.
