Benefits:
- Low Cost: At approximately 10% of the cost of a hardwired access control door, it is far less expensive than traditional electronic access control. Contact your local sales representative for pricing details.
- Versatile: Switch Core can be easily installed in a wide range of applications–almost any SFIC lock–and integrates with existing access control software.
- Easy Maintenance: Credentials can be easily added via Switch Deck, which includes a tool for battery replacement.
- Temper Resistant: No exposed fasteners or points of attack.
- Quick Install: Installation takes just minutes with no advanced knowledge (handing or door thickness) needed.
- Scalable: Switch can be added strategically where and as needed.
- Saves Time: Switch reduces mechanical key management (lost, stolen, new keys) for facility managers.
- Reduces Risk: Makes visitor management easy while reducing risk compared to temporary keys.
