Health Facilities & Laboratories

Health facilities and hospitals have always been notorious for spreading germs because they are where sick people congregate. Laboratories contain a lot of fluids from sick people. Fortunately, today’s high-tech door technology minimizes the number of times people touch door handles and crash bars that other people have used.

Health facilities warehouse a good supply of drugs and other high-theft. To cut down on theft, a simple magnetic kind of lock will keep thieves out of rooms, as will card readers and keypad doorknobs. The locks are commonly used on the front doors of businesses as well.

The user swipes his card into an access control reader or he punches his code number into the access control keypad. The reader or keypad sends the data by wireless signal or access control cable to the central computer. The central computer compares the data with what is on the central computer and releases the locking mechanism if everything checks out.

Modern door alarms, access control locks, and other security inventions enable healthcare workers to lock people out, lock people in, and warn the public. The wireless access control feature is handy. A request to exit button can help a facility or lab keep people in the facility who need to stay there.

In the event of a terroristic act, the ability to get one’s self behind a security-locked door during a terroristic act is priceless. This is where card readers and/or keypads are especially useful. The magnetic-secured doors are commonly used on front doors, as well as throughout a business. The ability to lock criminals in an area until police arrive helps to keep your laboratory or medical facility safe in the future.
