The Unique Advantages of Installing Flap Barriers in Your Building

Flap barriers are one of the few types of access management systems modern buildings are using to restrict access to authorized personnel.

Noted buildings in the UAE such as those in Masdar City, The Galleries, DIFC, Jebel Ali, etc. all have access management systems to help control and monitor inbound and outbound traffic. These systems are needed to enhance security and protect offices from theft, vandalism and other kinds of illegal activity.

In the UAE’s hypercompetitive business environment, organizations have to present themselves in the best light. Research shows that outdated technology costs businesses heavily; modern companies can’t afford to lose potential clients because of their reluctance to embrace technology.

Since the UAE has established itself as the economic hub of the Middle East, buildings in the country should take technology seriously; this includes incorporating access management systems in their infrastructure.

Flap barriers are a convenient and efficient way of managing traffic in and out of your building. Here are some unique advantages of installing flap barriers on your premises:

1. Improved Security

Usually, the primary point of entry is a door that welcomes all visitors (both authorized and unauthorized).

Flap barriers provide greater access control by detecting and preventing unauthorized entries. They effectively stop “tailgaters” from entering the premises and force them to turn to the reception desk to get a guest pass and temporary access to specific areas of the building.

Any sort of forced entry triggers an alarm and notifies on-site security personnel.

2. Access Control Integration

Advanced flap barrier systems an easily be integrated with other access control systems in the building. They can work in conjunction with cameras, doors and other security equipment.

It can provide security teams with identity, time and location of each individual that has entered the building, allowing them to keep track of everyone.

3. It Streamlines the Entry Process

Flap barriers are compatible with a wide selection of credential readers giving buildings the option to use any form of media to allow entry to visitors. This includes magnetic stripe, barcodes, biometrics or proximity cards (RFID/NFC).

The self-validation function of flap barriers reduces the burden on security guards and receptionists since they don’t have to manually verify credentials.
