Who should get through which door?
Your access control system connects an entry point with a decision about who can use it. A keypad may suit a home gate. Individual fobs may suit apartments or a workplace. Mobile credentials can fit your team when it needs access to change with a role. Start with your doors, users and daily routine, then decide whether you need schedules, entry records or a way to admit visitors remotely.
A credential is only one part of entry.
Your reader must work with the controller, lock, door and power arrangement. A video intercom helps you identify a visitor, while an electrified strike performs a different job at the door. The table separates these roles so you can compare them without assuming every device includes every feature. Ask which functions work locally, which depend on a network and who controls your administrator account.
Make departures and outages part of the plan.
You should be able to remove access when a person leaves and understand what happens if power or a network connection fails. Fail safe and fail secure describe the access side of a lock when power is removed. They do not settle every exit or fire requirement. Have the complete arrangement checked for your site. Your handover should cover credential removal, manual access and the person responsible for keeping permissions current.
Your entry options,
side by side.
| Type | How it works | Useful for | Records and timed access | Weak point |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Keypad or PIN | Enter a code | Home or small staff entry | Schedules and records depend on controller | Shared codes can be passed on |
| Card or fob | Present a credential | Apartments and staff doors | Individual credentials can be logged and timed | Lost or shared credentials |
| Mobile credential | Use a supported phone | Managed visitor or staff access | Depends on platform and permissions | Phone availability and account control |
| Biometric | Present a stored physical identifier | Selected controlled entries | Depends on controller | Enrollment, privacy and fallback access |
| Video intercom | See or speak with a visitor | Gates and shared entrances | Call history and release depend on system | Needs someone to answer or an agreed fallback |
| Vehicle gate operator + reader | Reader authorizes an operator | Driveways and vehicle entries | Depends on reader and controller | Tailgating and safe vehicle movement |
| Restricted mechanical key | Use a controlled key system | Doors that need simple physical access | No inherent event record or timed access | Issued keys still need tracking |
| Electrified lock, strike or maglock | Controls the door’s locking hardware | Compatible controlled doors | Reader and controller supply permissions | Power, door fit and exit design |
| Behavior | Access side when power is removed | Your planning question |
|---|---|---|
| Fail safe | Unlocked | How does your site handle the unlocked entry? |
| Fail secure | Locked | How is your required exit and authorized backup entry maintained? |
| Maglock | Fail safe only | What release and life-safety arrangement does your site require? |
Your gate needs safety and access planning. UL Solutions describes UL 325 as the gate-operator safety standard, while UL 294 complements it for access control system units. UL 325 does not evaluate gate access features for physical or cyber security. Ask how your proposed system addresses both roles.

Good information.
Stronger decisions.
Your security plan starts with good news. Burglary has fallen for decades. The FBI reports that the US burglary rate reported to police fell from 731.7 per 100,000 people in 2006 to 193.6 in 2025, about 74% lower (calc). You can focus on the doors, keys and daily habits within your control.
| Sector | Approximate monthly separations, 2025 average |
|---|---|
| Accommodation and food services | About 5.5% (2025) |
| Retail | About 3.8% (2025) |
| All industries | About 3.3% (2025) |
Your access plan cannot explain or prevent every kind of shrink. The NRF figures describe retail shrink, not losses caused by keys. You can still make each departure easier to handle by recording who holds a credential and withdrawing access when their role ends.

I was pleasantly surprised by Tom’s pricing. He explained all the costs upfront before starting any work, and there were no hidden feesRead on Google ↗
We moved into a new house and wanted to change all the locks for some peace of mind. Tom gave us a great quote, arrived on time, and completed the job quickly nd efficiently. He was also very knowledgeable and answered all our questions patiently.Read on Google ↗
Tom repaired a very old and annoying lock on my antique front door. Other locksmiths said it was too difficult or wanted to replace the entire mechanism. Tom was able to fix it with skill and care, preserving the original lock and door.Read on Google ↗
I locked myself out of the house after the garage did not open. Called Ameristar and the technician Tom responded quickly. He knew my dog was inside, kept me calm, explored a variety of options. He was so professional and I felt at ease. He solved the problem efficiently and even found the problem with our garage door opener. It was the positive experience I needed after a rough day. I could not have asked for a better technician. Thank you!!Read on Google ↗
Your service questions
What is an access control system?
An access control system decides who can open a door, and when. It replaces or supports a metal key with a code, card, fob, phone or fingerprint, and it can keep a record of each entry.
Which type of access control fits my property?
It depends on your doors, how many people need entry and how often that list changes. We look at your doors and daily routine first, then explain the options in plain words.
What is the difference between fail safe and fail secure?
A fail safe lock unlocks when power is removed. A fail secure lock stays locked when power is removed. Your door type and local code decide which one applies, so we check before any work.
Can you add access control to a gate or an apartment building?
Yes. Keypads, intercoms and readers work on pedestrian gates, vehicle gates and shared entries. Call with your gate or door details so we can confirm what fits.
Do I still need good locks if I have access control?
Yes. Electronic entry controls who gets in. Solid hardware, a reinforced strike and the right cylinder keep the door closed against force. You want both working together.
Tell us about your locks.
You get a clear starting point. Share your property, priorities and the access you need. If you are locked out, call to check current availability.
Before you hand over your keys
