I have situation where i have 5 doors all to be controlled from security office and 1 to be controlled from security office and front door attendant. 4 doors have standard panic hardware and main door is aluminum frame deadbolt with auto closure. I will have to use magnet on this one. Ideally like have system that can release doors and have door held open alarms and request to enter control. All doors are within 100 feet of security office and in same building. I am kinda green on door access but have done maybe 15-20 systems but i know of lot products out there but looking for members input on way do it right first time. What product is out there for multi door and multi configurations?

Recommendations For Five Door Access Control System?

Sep 21, 2016What sort of readers/ credentials do you have planned?
From your description, it sounds like you need 5 openings controlled, but are they all single doors?
Especially given that these are egress doors (with exit devices), is using maglocks permitted?
Does the front door attendant have access to a PC, or will they need a manual pushbutton to let people inside?

Sep 21, 2016Just a buzzer on doors and monitored by camera so security can buzz them in.One door maglock so have to tie into facp.4 of 5 doors have egress devices but security wants to know if door is held open.

Is there an intrusion alarm tied into this building? The reason I ask is that many times, you can convert an intrusion panel into a combo access/burg system just by adding a small module or panels.
