Electronic key control is the process of managing electronic credentials to ensure only authorized individuals can access secure areas. It uses integrated systems, software, and procedures to assign access and schedule permissions, providing detailed audit trails and advanced security oversight.
Unlike physical keys, electronic credentials can’t be duplicated, making your security more flexible, reliable, and easier to manage.
Unmatched Protection from Unauthorized Duplication
Q: Can someone just copy this electronic key?
A: No — electronic keys can’t be duplicated like traditional keys. Each key is encrypted and uniquely programmed to your access settings. You control who gets a key, what it can access, and for how long.
Total Accountability,
One Key at a Time
Q: How do I know who has access to what areas in my building?
A: Electronic keys are tailored to your exact access needs, giving you full control over who can enter specific areas, when, and for how long. The system logs all activity and makes it easy to manage renewals, expirations, and access records.
Access Solutions
to Fit Your Needs
Q: What happens if someone loses a key?
A: If a key is ever lost or stolen, they can be blacklisted so that it no longer works or keys can be set to more frequent reprogramming, ensuring continued security— no need to rekey locks or replace hardware. Plus, audit trails show when and where the key was last used.
Cost-Effective
Q: Will this cost me more in the long run?
A: Medeco’s electronic key systems can offer a more cost effective alternative to wired access control systems. You can reuse existing hardware and retrofit with the Medeco products and still assign and audit users without the high installation costs and electronic hardware changes.
