Access control with a key fob – simple, secure, and flexible access

Today, badge access control is one of the most common ways to combine high security with easy administration and keyless living. Residents, employees and guests get exactly the rights they need - and lost badges can be blocked in seconds.

At Keypartner, we help housing associations, companies, institutions and private individuals replace classic keys with electronic key fob systems. We ensure a solution that is reliable, user-friendly and scalable - from a few doors to entire properties.

Why choose access control with a key fob

There's good reason why badge access control is a popular solution. Especially for housing associations, but also for private individuals, there are many advantages to the solution:

Greater security than keys

A lost key fob is blocked centrally; no costly changes to the locking system are required.

Flexibility & control

Permissions by door, zone, and time period; temporary guest access.

Complete overview

The access log shows who, where, and when.

Lower operating costs

Less key management; quick onboarding/offboarding.

Scalability

Start small and expand to include more doors/buildings.

How does a token locking system work?

Although the technology behind a token locking system may seem advanced, in practice it is incredibly user-friendly. The user receives a small electronic token that works in the same way as an access card. When the token is held up in front of the reader at the door, the system determines if the person has access and the lock will only open if the token is approved.

Online and offline key fob-based locking systems

At Keypartner, we offer both online and offline systems. In an offline system, changes to access rights must be updated at each individual door, which is typically a good solution for smaller buildings or offices.

In an online system, all doors are connected to a central control unit, which means that changes take effect immediately, regardless of how many doors are connected. Online access control using key fobs therefore offers a much higher level of control and is particularly well-suited for larger businesses and housing associations.

Who benefits from badge access control?

A deadbolt locking system can be used in virtually any type of building. More and more people are finding it beneficial in private homes - and with good reason. But the solution is also ideal for:

Housing associations

In housing associations, access control using key fobs is an ideal solution for stairwells, storage rooms, and common areas where many residents need access. If a resident loses their key fob, it is deactivated centrally, and a new one can be issued quickly. This eliminates the need for costly lock replacements and streamlines administration.

Companies

In businesses, access control using key fobs is particularly valuable because it makes it easy to manage different levels of access. For example, a receptionist might have access to the reception area and meeting rooms, while an IT employee might have access to server rooms and technical areas. When an employee leaves, access can be revoked immediately, providing far greater security than collecting physical keys.

Institutions and schools

Institutions such as schools, daycare centers, and nursing homes also benefit greatly from access control using access cards. In these settings, it is important that staff, vendors, and any visitors are granted access to the appropriate areas without compromising security. Access card systems can be tailored precisely to specific needs, thereby contributing to both safety and efficient operations.

A key fob-based locking system as part of a larger security system

A token locking system doesn't have to stand alone. At Keypartner, we often help integrate token-based access control with other security solutions such as door automation, door phones or alarms. This way we can create a complete security system where everything works together and you have a full overview from one place.

The technology can also be combined with other forms of access. The chip can be supplemented with a PIN code for two-factor security or it can be combined with mobile access via an app.

In some cases, biometrics such as fingerprint or facial recognition can also be used with the chip. This makes the solution even more flexible and future-proof.
