New or remodeled buildings now need card keys or key fobs or an access code to open the doors after hours. Why is this necessary?
As part of our efforts to provide a safe and secure teaching, learning and working environment, electronic access controls supplement the mechanical key system. Instead of using a traditional key, doors that have been outfitted with electronic access controls require an electronic key (e-key) to gain access. In a few rare instances, an e-key is not necessary but a code must be entered on the keypad to gain entry.
