As a business owner, securing both your building and your employees should be a top priority. Building access control allows you to secure both at the same time. Why? Because it enables you to determine who can and can’t gain access to your building. When you have an access control system in place, only approved individuals who have been granted access will be able to enter the building. This significantly reduces the risk of intrusion, thereby protecting your business assets, and most importantly, protecting your employees. No matter the size of your business, the industry you’re in, or the type of building you operate out of, security is important. Read on to learn more about access control, including examples that you can implement to protect your employees and office building.

Not only will a more secure rental property bring peace of mind, but will also contribute to a higher nightly or monthly rate paid by tenants due to the level of safety. There are a few easy steps that rental property owners and property managers can take to make a rental property more secure.
If you know anything about Hollywood and its movies in the last two decades or so, then you will have seen someone opening a lock with a credit card at least once.

An Airbnb is a home, apartment, or room (in a shared space) that has been advertised to rent or book by those who are looking for accommodation in specific locations, for a short period of time. Airbnb stays are great families, couples, or individuals that are on vacation, or just need a place to stay en route to their destination. The main concern that arises for Airbnb owners and guests is the overall safety of the property. Guests must be given a key or access code to enter the property and lock it as they leave. There are multiple options of locks and security systems for the Airbnbs. However, it takes careful consideration as to what combination of security measures and locks will be best for your property as well as Airbnb guests.
We live in a time where decent rentals are rare, and where few people can afford to rent an entire space on their own. However, if you live with a roommate (or you’re about to have a new roommate move in), security can be the first concern for both of you. It’s important to keep things safe, especially valuables or personal information. This is usually a two-sided concern that both roommates have. This makes security an important discussion that all roommates should have early in the agreement. It’s just as important to make sure that your roommate follows the same security protocols as you do (for example, by checking home safety measures like doors and windows).
