However, if you are like most people you likely considered the benefits of the locking system, but not what to do if there was an issue. Here are a few of the issues that can occur with digital access locking systems and how your locksmith can help.

Resetting Card Access

There will be times when your employees lose their digital access cards. You may also have times when you fire an employee and the card is not returned. This poses several issues for your security and safety within the building. Your locksmith can disable the card in the system. This means if the card is attempted, the system will lock it out. In some cases, your security system may also directly notify you when this happens. This can be done from a remote location using the software of the system. This can also be done by the locksmith when there is an emergent need to have the card deactivated. 

Rekeying Locks

There are several areas where you can place a digital locking system. The employees will need to have the code in order to gain entry. More advanced options will also have a retinal scan or fingerprint scan. There are times when these digital locks may receive damage.

Accessing Lockdown Locks

There are several reasons your digital loving system may shut everyone out or lock down. It is still operational, but you may not be able to login or an entire group of employees may not be able to.
