Til,<br><br>I agree with you on the door hardware. Most industrial/office spaces use commercial mortise hardware which is not like the normal residence deadbolt. One solution is the eletromagnet lock, although this requires about 200ma continuous power and is ahrd to override in case of failure or if the landlord needs to get in.<br>
<br>We found a solution that does not require modification. It re-uses the existing door lock cylinder, but adds a solenoid actuator. It's designed for retrofit and fits in the space occupied by the old hardware, so it's easily removed if you move out.<br>
<br>Check out:<br><a href="http://www.sdcsecurity.com/mngmoc.aspx?id=57">http://www.sdcsecurity.com/mngmoc.aspx?id=57</a><br><br>It appears that these are available to work with many common brands of lock cylinder.<br><br>

</div>AnonAccess is to be used with i2c-capable chipcards, actually. We do not<br>
use the system at our space right now, as a quality lock was the more<br>
pragmatic solution. Main reason is that an electronic entry system<br>
requires some modifications to the door and frame, which our lessor<br>
wouldn't be too happy about. Next to that with every entry system you<br>
need some solution to override it in case of emergency, which is also<br>
not trivial in our current space.<br>
The website should be back up soon, hopefully.<br>
