Access Control vs. Traditional Locks: Why Keyless Systems Are the New Standard

Locked doors are the first line of defense in keeping a building safe. But not all locks are equal. Traditional locks rely on small, easily lost, and easily copied keys. That leaves doors and people vulnerable. 

Access control systems are different. They don’t use physical keys. Instead, they rely on digital methods such as keycards, phone apps, fingerprint scanners, or even AI-based facial recognition. These systems offer control, speed, and visibility that old locks just can’t. Let’s break down why keyless systems are becoming the go-to standard for schools, office buildings, hospitals, and other high-traffic spaces.

Do I Need a Carbon Monoxide Detector?

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a gas that is produced from the incomplete combustion of carbon-based materials. These materials include natural gas, wood, coal, gasoline, and other forms of fossil fuel. Its production occurs regularly in chimneys, vehicle exhaust pipes, electricity generator sets, and other pieces of machinery that run on fossil fuels. 

Carbon monoxide is colorless, odorless, and tasteless. When a significant amount of this gas is released, it can bind to the red blood cells of an individual. This will cause several harmful effects, which is one of the reasons carbon monoxide detectors have become so popular in recent years.
