Electronic locks: adapt the solution to the doors and uses

Renovating access requires looking at doors, finishes and daily operation. Alltech prepare the electronic locks with the concrete constraints of your establishment.

Start from your situation.

An existing door imposes its dimensions, its piercings and sometimes handles that it wishes to keep. Before choosing an electronic lock, you must identify these characteristics and understand the uses: access to the rooms, common entrance, team operation and expected backup solutions. Technical options also have a consequence on the final appearance. Photos, sketches and exchanges with the manufacturer allow you to prepare the adaptations before you start an order or program the installation.

Alltech supports the preparation and installation of access equipment. The perimeter is defined according to the doors and functions selected: locking, reader, badges or mobile access when the solution allows it. Programming and handling are among the subjects to anticipate, along with the people who will use the system. A possible connection to hotel software must be studied separately; it depends on the available interfaces and does not result from the choice of lock alone.

The points that count.

Raise doors

Check the dimensions, handles and traces of old equipment. These elements guide the selection of components and adaptation plates, if any.

Define access uses

Specify the individuals involved, the doors to be managed and the expected modes of opening. The operation must remain understandable to the establishment's teams.

Preparing for commissioning

Organize programming, controls and transmission of useful instructions. The accessories and emergency procedures are provided within the chosen perimeter.

Intersecting services.

Connect door, reception and access life cycle

An electronic lock is chosen with the way the institution prepares arrivals, gives a way of access and processes changes. The project should explain what happens during an extension, departure, loss and request for staff access. The proposed functions depend on the solution: they must not be deduced from the mere presence of a reader on the door.

Examine the door before generalizing a model

The preparation concerns the doors concerned, the existing locks, the dimensions, the drilling and the finishing constraints. An adaptation may require mechanical work separate from access configuration. A representative door allows the proposed material to be compared to the reality of the installation and use of the handle. Differences between rooms or premises must be noted before extending a solution to an entire establishment.

Prepare the situations that the reception will encounter

  • One arrival: who prepares the means of access, for which doors and under what conditions?
  • A change: How to treat a modified room, extended stay or new assignment?
  • A loss: who receives the report and what actions allows the solution chosen?
  • The staff: which access matches the functions and which validates their modifications?
  • A difficulty on a door: What observations should be made and who should contact?

Define maintenance from the project

The monitoring must specify the operations planned for the door elements, the means of access and the power elements when they are concerned. The installed references and the management methods must remain identifiable. The establishment can thus describe a specific difficulty, distinguish the door from the authorization and prepare a passage with the right information. Maintenance conditions are defined according to the equipment and the contract.

Common entrances and staff rooms may be subject to a access control Additional information. If a link to the hotel software is desired, you must identify the publisher, the functions expected and the real possibilities of exchange. The Dtouch integration study then completes the laying work dAlltech, with compatibility to be checked with the editor.

Before getting started.

Do I need to change all the handles?

It depends on the solution and the doors present. The conservation of certain parts is verified with the characteristics of the installation and the possibilities offered by the manufacturer.

Can we provide access by telephone?

Some solutions allow this. The equipment, possible licenses and the usage path must be studied before confirming this function for your establishment.

Connecting the right skills.

Dtouch · a complementary skill

If specific integration is necessary, Dtouch may examine the available interfaces. This work is a separate complement to the installation of equipment.
