Access control

With access control you decide exactly who can enter where – no keys, just smart technology. Whether it's a B&B, office, warehouse or apartment block: at UMATECH you'll find everything to secure and automate your entrances.

From a single door with an RFID tag to a complete network with a cloud controller, biometrics and QR scanning: our modular system grows with your needs. Choose a keypad, fingerprint or NFC, and you decide who gets access and when – and who doesn't. Schedules, logs and access levels are set in the app or software.

For the physical side we supply a wide range of locks: electric strikes, electromagnetic locks, cabinet locks, door operators and door holders. Each type is available as fail-safe (opens on power loss) or fail-secure (stays locked on power loss), depending on your security requirements.

The intelligence sits in our controllers, standalone or cloud-connected. Combine them with tags and cards, exit buttons, sensors and switches for a fully working system.

Installation stays tidy thanks to our brackets, power supplies and cabling for DIN rail, surface or flush mounting. Every component is CE-certified, comes with a manual and is tested for compatibility with our readers and locks.

RFID access control for every door

With RFID/NFC readers you can set up RFID access control in just a few steps. The reader scans a tag, card or key fob and only opens the door for authorised people. It works for a single door as well as a whole building, and you can buy individual components or a complete access control system that fits your premises.

Card readers, tags and cards

For everyday use, choose from tags and cards, key fobs or a badge system. Prefer a PIN code or fingerprint? Combine keypads with card readers into one system. A tag reader on a single door is quick to install, while an electronic access control system with an access controller also keeps track of schedules and logs.

Order before 17:00 and, if in stock, we ship the same day – so you're in control tomorrow.

Frequently asked questions about access control

What is RFID access control and how does it work?

RFID access control reads a tag, card or key fob wirelessly to decide who may enter. Hold the tag in front of the reader, the system checks your rights and opens the door. Secure access without keys.

What's the difference between a tag, key fob and card?

Functionally they do the same thing: identify you at the door. You simply choose the credential that suits your users best, from a handy key fob to a printed ID card.

Which card reader do I need?

That depends on your credentials and where the reader is mounted. A card reader handles cards and tags; for outdoor use choose a rugged reader with a weatherproof housing. Not sure? We'll help you pick the right reader.

How much does an access control system cost?

The price depends on the number of doors and users. For a single door, a reader, controller and electric lock is all you need. Costs rise as you connect more doors. Feel free to ask us for a quote.

Does access control work with NFC or an app?

Yes. With NFC access control you open a door with your phone or an NFC card. A smart system connects to software, so you can set permissions, open doors and view logs remotely – handy for multiple sites or changing users.

Can I use one tag system for multiple doors?

Absolutely. Connect every door to the same controller and one tag works wherever that person is allowed. Your system stays manageable as your building grows.

What is a badge or keycard system?

A badge or keycard system gives every user their own card to open doors. Ideal for offices and hotels: a lost card is blocked instantly, without replacing any locks.
