Proximity Readers: Creative Alarms uses proximity identification readers. Simply presenting the card or keytag to the reader (within 18”), the reader will read the card or keytag and allow or deny access based upon programming. This technology is maintenance free as opposed to the old technology of inserting or swiping your card through the reader, which in time those units will collect dirt, dust, are subject to environmental conditions, and in time constant inserting or swiping of a card will render the card inoperable. Proximity readers are hermitically sealed for environmental control and the proximity card keytags are virtually indestructible.

Electro-Magnetic Locks: Incorporated into our access control systems are electromagnetic locks. These locks can be a low security lock with 600lbs. of door-holding force, up to 2000lbs. of door-holding force. For extreme high-security door applications, the holding force can be higher. When an access card or key tag is presented to a reader, the lock will automatically disengage allowing entry to the user. Upon closure of the door, the lock will automatically re-engage. Time zones and scheduling can be programmed into our locks for automatic disengagement and re-engagement for daytime or high-traffic time use. Our locks can be customized in color to match the decor of your facility or the color of your door frame. They can be applied to both in-swing and out-swing doors.
