Being responsible for making the decision to implement new security turnstiles or revolving doors at a facility can be a challenge. Security and Facility Managers are responsible for the safety and security of all who enter a campus or facility via its entrances. And each entrance location has a different set of users, traffic levels, security requirements, environmental requirements, etc. BoonSelect formalizes the selection process, providing clarity, peace of mind and confidence in an investment that can last ten or more years.
Seven Entrance Decision Factors
BoonSelect outlines seven decision factors to be considered prior to an entrance implementation strategy:
- Throughput – Types of users and number of users, especially at peak traffic periods?
- Security – Tailgating deterrence, detection or prevention? Remote locking?
- Safety – Local codes and fire or evacuation strategies?
- Aesthetics – Entrances blend in or stand out?
- Technology – Integration capabilities with new or future technologies?
- Comfort – Ease of use? Energy efficiency?
- Service – Planned preventative maintenance and user training?
