A card reader on the stores door is useful. A fail-locked exit with no break-glass is a safety problem. Digitech plans access control around zones people actually use — main gate, stores, server room — and a written rule for who can still get out when power dies.
Zones before gadget brands
List doors first: visitor lobby, packing floor, accounts, server / UPS closet. Card or fingerprint only on the ones that matter. Wiring every toilet door burns budget and creates a queue at shift change.
Fail-safe vs fail-secure
Exit doors that people use in a fire should unlock (or free the crash bar) when power fails. Server rooms can stay locked if there is a key override and someone holds the key. We write that choice on the job sheet before the magnet goes on the frame.
Enrolment is HR, not the electrician
Same story as biometric attendance: delete leavers, keep a spare admin card, and do not share the software password on WhatsApp. A full reader of old contractors is how overtime and theft disputes start.
Log and spare
Keep a week of door events if the controller supports it. Stock one spare reader for the busiest door. See access products and CCTV & security when you want both cameras and doors under one visit.
