Case Studies

1. An accountants' office manager was in charge of the Office Supply room. These were kept in a separate room, which was never locked.

   Solution:

   

   Alpharetta Locksmiths installed a medium duty push-button mechanical lock. Now Only a select people have access to this supply room.

   
   

2. A gym found that the moisture in the air near the changing rooms repeatedly wreaked havoc onto their existing heavy duty mechanical digital Spring-Latch: It had to be replaced nearly every year.

   Solution:

   

   Alpharetta Locksmiths installed a moisture resistant keypad with a Spring-Latch and an electronic door release. This solution has now been in place for 5 years with no repairs whatsoever.

   
   

3. The management of a large block of Condo's' felt that over the years their key-security was compromised by numerous tenants not returning their keys, when they moved out. The cost of changing all main entrance and back door locks every few years was considered prohibitive in view of the great number of keys required.

   Solution:

   

   Alpharetta Locksmiths installed a Fob Reader onto every entrance door and wired all of them back to a central computer. Manage with ease and immediate effect all the Fobs, which need to be added for new tenants and deleted for departed tenants. As a result, the tenants' confidence in the building's security improved greatly.

   
   

4. A busy Restaurant kitchen had a Card Reader installed, to avoid guests erring into the kitchen. Having to hold a Card and Swipe it proved to be impractical and time wasting for staff carrying dirty dishes back into the kitchen.

   Solution:

   

   Alpharetta Locksmiths installed a proximity reader near the door, which was able to read the employees' fobs from a distance of up to 2 feet. When staff now approaches the door, the lock buzzes open on its own.





5. A hospital needed a vital area secured by means of a keypad. Even though power-cuts are an infrequent occurrence, the management was very keen to avoid any problems resulting from electricity supply issues.

   Solution:

   

   Alpharetta Locksmiths installed a heavy duty Kaba-Unican 5000 Series mechanical Spring-Latch. The lock is suitable for hospital use due to its sturdy build and needs no electricity.

   
   

6. Dentist Office was left with a rimless armour-plate glass door and no easy way to add locks to it. In addition, the area leading from the door to the receptionist could not be cluttered up by a cable-run for any access control.

   Solution:

   

   We installed a magnetic lock to the top of the door. It was made to hold to the glass by a specialist bonding agent and by a springy steel pressure-plate. A little wireless receiver was added to the magnet and a transmitter installed to the receptionist's desk. Pressing the button on the wire-free transmitter sent a signal to the receiver, which then released the door.
