KEYLESS ENTRY READERS

Advanced Card Access Systems in Austin.

ZML ACCESS CONTROL SERVICES: Licensed and Insured for Your Protection

What are Keyless Entry Readers?

Keyless entry readers are electronic devices that grant access through doors or gates when a valid credential is presented. Unlike traditional locks requiring physical keys, these systems use contactless cards, fobs, or mobile credentials to authenticate users and release the locking mechanism.

How Keyless Entry Readers Work

Modern keyless entry readers operate using sophisticated authentication technology:

The user presents their credential (card, fob, or smartphone) to the reader

The reader scans the credential's embedded data

This data is verified against an authorized database (locally or on a server)

If authenticated, the system sends a signal to release the electric lock

The door unlocks temporarily, allowing access

An entry record is created in the system database.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

We've got A's for your Q's

What types of credentials work with keyless entry readers?

Modern systems support various credential types including proximity cards, smart cards, key fobs, mobile credentials (smartphone-based), and in some cases, biometric verification or PIN codes in multi-factor configurations.

How far in advance does the card need to be presented to the reader?

Most proximity readers detect credentials within 2-6 inches, while some long-range readers can detect credentials up to several feet away. Smart card readers typically require closer proximity (1-3 inches) for secure communication.

How secure are card access systems against hacking?

Modern systems employ encryption and authentication protocols to protect against unauthorized access. Smart card technology, in particular, offers advanced security features that make credential cloning extremely difficult.

Can we use our existing access cards with a new system?

In many cases, yes. Multi-technology readers can often support various card formats, allowing for gradual system transitions. Our team can evaluate your existing credentials and recommend compatible solutions.

What happens if there's a power failure?

Most commercial access control systems include backup power supplies to maintain operation during outages. Additionally, the electric locking hardware can be configured as either fail-secure (remains locked) or fail-safe (unlocks) during power loss, depending on security and life safety requirements.

How quickly can a lost card be deactivated?

With networked systems, lost cards can be deactivated instantly through the software interface. Standalone systems may require manual reprogramming at each reader location.
