Entrance Control vs Access Control
10 February, 2021
Entrance and Access Control are both necessary elements to control who enters and exits any premises or secure area, but do you know the true difference between the two?
Access Control
Access Control refers to the selective systems that are used to verify authorised personnel using their credentials for example, biometrics, pin numbers, access cards, bluetooth etc, and permits or denies entry based on the requirements predefined in the system.
Entrance Control
Entrance control is the physical system which actually prevents or allows entry into an area when the decision has been fed to it by an Access Control system. This can be done by a range of high and low security systems, for example:
Security Portals offer a high security solution to control entry and exit to internal secure areas. Our portals offer single person passage checking and abandoned object detection systems. They are available in both circle and square profiles to meet existing building aesthetics and client needs. A range of passage widths are available, including a DDA approved wide version.
We provide a range of security resistance levels including EN1627 RC4 Manual Attack rating and EN1522 FB4 Ballistic Rating. Our Security Portals are designed to be integrated with any access control system.

We provide a range of security resistance levels including EN1627 RC4 Manual Attack rating and EN1522 FB4 Ballistic Rating. Available in a number of sizes, with features including single person checking system and optional metal detectors. Our Revolving Doors are designed to be integrated with any access control system.
