At Recore Electric, we’re always looking for ways to stay involved with our community, support local causes, and foster team spirit. That’s why we were thrilled to sponsor and participate in the Gastonia Police Doughnut Dash 5K and Fun Run this year on November 2nd.
The Doughnut Dash, organized by the Gastonia Police Department, is more than just a race—it’s a chance to bring the community together and support our local law enforcement. This year, our team of four Recore employees proudly wore their Recore jerseys as they hit the trail around beautiful Rankin Lake. With a mix of excitement and determination, each of our runners crossed the finish line, representing our organization and showing Recore’s dedication to fitness, community support, and teamwork.

Access Control Systems are no longer optional; they are essential for modern facility security. Whether you're safeguarding an industrial site, commercial building, or high-traffic campus, access control systems help protect personnel, property, and sensitive data. These systems provide seamless entry for authorized users while keeping out potential threats, improving both security and operational efficiency. In this blog, we’ll explore how access control systems work, their components, the benefits of integrating them into your facility, and how Recore’s tailored approach sets the standard for physical security. What Is an Access Control System? An access control system is a digital security solution that regulates who can enter or exit specific areas within a facility. Unlike basic door locks, access control systems use electronic methods, such as key fobs, PINs, or biometric data, to authenticate users and grant or deny access. According to the U.S. General Services Administration, physical access control systems (PACS) are vital to controlling entry into secure areas using electronic identification . Why Your Facility Needs Access Control Systems 1. Stronger Physical Security Standard keys can be lost, stolen, or duplicated. Access control systems eliminate these risks by using unique digital credentials. Each access event is logged, providing a detailed audit trail. 2. Real-Time Access Management Access permissions can be updated instantly. If an employee leaves the company or changes roles, you can immediately revoke or reassign their credentials. 3. Enhanced Visibility and Accountability Every access attempt, successful or failed, is recorded. In the event of an incident, these logs provide valuable insights for investigation or compliance audits. 4. Scalability Across Multiple Locations From standalone door readers to enterprise-level networks, access control systems grow with your business. Networkable systems can control hundreds of entry points across facilities, all from a centralized platform. Core Components of Access Control Systems A well-designed access control system typically includes: Credential Readers: Devices that scan badges, key cards, biometrics, or mobile credentials. Control Panels: Hardware that processes reader data and decides whether to unlock a door. Electronic Locks: Magnetic or electric strike locks that are controlled remotely. Management Software: Software interface where administrators assign permissions, monitor activity, and generate reports. User Credentials: Key fobs, smart cards, PIN codes, mobile apps, or biometric inputs. Access Control System Types Standalone Access Control Systems Ideal for smaller facilities, standalone systems control individual doors without connecting to a centralized network. These are cost-effective and simple to install, making them a smart choice for single-building operations. Networked Access Control Systems Best suited for multi-site or enterprise-level applications, networked systems connect all access points through centralized management software. These systems offer remote access control, real-time updates, and advanced reporting. Integration Capabilities One of the most valuable features of access control systems is their ability to integrate with other building technologies, including: Video Surveillance Systems: Automatically record footage of access events. Alarm Systems: Trigger alerts for unauthorized access attempts. Building Automation: Control lighting, HVAC, and elevator access based on occupancy. Visitor Management Software: Issue temporary access credentials to guests. Key Benefits of Access Control Systems
