The Best Ways to Employ Hands-Free Entry After Covid-19

As the world has started to adopt the new normal living during the pandemic, every individual needs to practice the safety guidelines during COVID-19 to curb the spread of the virus. As countries start to lift lockdowns, curfews, and restrictions on traveling, it is vital for companies, organizations, and workplaces to enact new and safe strategies for the protection and precaution against COVID-19 which means that sanitation and contactless technology will play an important role for these workplaces before they re-open.

Living in the 21st century, advanced technology has enabled us to build better security systems. Today newer and innovative technology has eradicated the need to touch or come in contact with surfaces such as doorknobs, keys, locks, etc. to enter the building space. With electronic doorways and no key entry, you can preserve your building from the spread of the virus. 

Here are some of the best ways to employ hands-free entry: 

Contactless Doors

One of the easiest ways to come in contact with the virus is through touch, and entry doors in public places are the best examples. Now to make the employees and customers feel safe in the workplace it is very essential to have a contactless or an automatic entry door system which will reduce the amount of physical interaction between people coming and going. If you have a busy grocery shop or a restaurant, automatic doors are the best way to reduce the spread of the virus with no physical contact between individuals. 

Electric Strikes

With modern access systems being introduced to us, an electric strike is a vital element to hands-free security. A strike is the metal plate on the door which enables and restricts the door to be opened. As the spread of Coronavirus is increasing day by day posing a great risk and danger to the public health and well-being, workplaces will have to switch to an electric strike. Although there are two types of electric strikes: Fail-safe and Fail-secure electric strikes, a fail secure electric strike will provide more security to your building as it will keep your building doors locked in the event of a power cut.  

No-Key Entry

A key fob lock system or Bluetooth keyless entry locks will eradicate the amount of physical interaction needed to open a door. Key fobs are also more hygienic and safer as compared to any ordinary key. Key fobs can be reprogrammed as per your needs to avoid any unauthorized access. Bluetooth keyless entry system is one of the simplest and safe ways to employ hands-free entry as it uses developed and smart technology which can be unlocked by AI devices like Siri or Alexa.  

Hands-Free Push and Pull Plates

If you don’t wish to spend a fortune on expensive technology and devices, you can easily install devices that will reduce your need to touch any common spots like doorknobs or handles. You can install a push plate initiated by an elbow to automatically open the door making it handicap accessible also.
