How do electric strikes work

Today, people look for the best security devices to protect themselves and their property. Whether it’s a new door lock or a metal bar for a window, everyone seeks the best available options. Allow us to introduce you to some of the most intelligent solutions. An electric door strike is used on door frames for access control. It activates every time someone tries to open the door. When a person uses an ID card, a fingerprint, or enters a pin code, the system sends a signal to the electric strike. The electric strike is then released to grant access if this signal is correct. Choosing the appropriate electric door strike depends on a number of factors. You’ll need to define the type of configuration needed and the way you want to use this mechanism. As a leading-edge locksmith company, Sure Lock & Key is ready to answer any questions and provide any services you might need.

What is biometric security

Originally people thought that this methodology was extremely sci-fi and very complicated. This kind of security is based on people's biometrics.

It could even be facial recognition where you must put your face in front of the scanner. In situations where it's a high-security building, the biometric technology may require more data about the person (the tone of their voice and even the manner in which you speak). However, believe it or not, this is only the tip of the iceberg. This kind of security has many features and details that owners may consider when picking the system that meets their needs. However, you don't need to run through tons of content to find them all. Sure Lock & Key has gathered all of the definitions, options and requirements necessary for you.
