THE EVERYDAY RETURN

More welcome.
Less overhead.

Let the door handle routine entry.
Let your team focus on people.

Make the whole-life case.Look beyond the equipment: consider the time spent at the entrance, replacing keys, administering access and making unnecessary site visits.

Reduce routine entrance staffing costs.

Where dedicated supervision is not required, automated member entry may reduce the staff hours spent checking credentials or repeatedly releasing the door.

Bar a credential. Not a new set of locks.

Lost or unreturned tokens can be disabled. Centralised permissions and schedules on supported systems can also reduce repetitive access administration.

Fewer trips. Better use of time.

Supported remote-management tools let authorised teams make routine access changes without travelling to each location.

Make occupied time count.

With compatible, professionally configured building controls, access events can help switch off unnecessary lighting or equipment and reduce energy waste.

Potential savings depend on the venue, staffing arrangements, selected system and integrations. Access control does not replace required door supervisors, safeguarding, age checks or emergency responsibilities. Include installation, licensing, maintenance and replacement costs when assessing value.

THE PHYSICAL SYSTEM

Behind a simple welcome.
A considered system.

A reader at the entrance. Control behind the scenes. Hardware at the door. Each component has a role in making the whole access journey work.

ONE ACCESS JOURNEY

A credential that suits your day.

A proximity card for your membership, a compact fob for your team, or a smartphone credential on a supported system.

Find the right setup for your venue

Illustrative components, not a preconfigured equipment bundle. Product choice and compatibility depend on the installation. CMS specifies the equipment, door hardware and safe emergency-release arrangements for your venue.

MEMBERSHIP

Start with the person.

A joined-up member experience starts with identity. Door permissions remain controlled by the configured access system.

Relationships shown are illustrative. Availability depends on the selected platform, integrations and installation; a CMS Members App credential is not automatically a Paxton Key credential.
