Access Control
Credential formats, door behavior, reader selection, and system capacity planning.
Access control issues usually show up late: wrong credential formats, lock behavior that conflicts with life safety, panel counts that run out of room, or power budgets that fail under real unlock events. These tools help you validate the design earlier so the install is less about rework and more about execution.
Access Control Planning Guide
Walk through the Access Control design process before opening individual tools. The guide explains the linear planning flow, supporting calculators, and the assumptions worth documenting before a design is finalized.
Start with the first decision. Build toward the full design.
Access Control tools can be used individually, but this category also includes a connected design flow. Start with an Access Scope, carry the door or zone context through fail-state behavior, reader selection, lock power, panel capacity, and access-level structure, then document the assumptions behind the final plan.
The flow includes both Free and Pro tools. Pro access unlocks the full sequence for deeper planning, exportable reports, and saved design snapshots.
