Components of Access Control Systems
Typically access control systems have the following four main components that are all
connected together with a special type of low voltage cable designed for access control systems.
Access Control Systems
- A security door
- An electronic contact and lock
- A Type of access panel
- A request to exit and lock the device
The security door is a specially designed door that can be made of glass, wood or metal and uses an electronic lock and contact. Glass doors are the most aesthetically pleasing types of security doors, though they do come with a higher price tag and are a pain to keep clean on a daily basis. Wood doors are mostly only used in residential properties and hardly even with-in public buildings. Metal is normally the choice of security door to use, due to their value for money, fire ratings and the fact that you can run cables through the actual door.

Electronically Locked Doors
These electronically locked doors can only be accessed by authorized personnel using a variety of access devices and the most commonly methods used are:
- Key Pads Panels – These are similar to using an ATM machine
and you just need to enter the correct pin number within the
panel to get access to the area. - Card Readers – The user needs to hold a security card, fob or
identity card up to the reader - Swipe Panels – The user needs to swipe a security card
through the slot provided. - Biometric Authentication Scanners – The user needs to either
provide a fingerprint or handprint that is verified by biometric
measurement.
Generally it is only gaining access to an area that needs the user to be verified and not exiting, so request to exit devices will generally be a button that is pushed or a motion detector. When either motion is detected or the button is pushed the door will automatically unlock to enabling opening.
Access Control Cabling
It is essential that you use quality cabling for your access control systems, as this will influence both how effective and reliable the system is as a whole. There is a special type of cabling to use within these security systems called access control composite cable. This type of cabling is a type of twisted cable that consists of four shielded compartments that have color-coded PVC jacket for ease of identification. The cable comes in a variety of different gauges and thicknesses to use depending on the type of data system that the access control system requires.
