Breaking Into A Facility Using Canned Air Tested

By: Brian Rhodes, Published on Jan 28, 2020

Access control is supposed to make doors more secure, but a $5 can of compressed air may defeat it.

With no special training, intruders can unlock access doors and walk through without alarming the system.

Inside, we demo the exploit and examine:

  • How Quickly and Easily Doors Can Be Unlocked By Canned Air
  • Why Access RTE REX Are The Problem's Root Cause
  • RTE REX Are Used On More Than Maglocks
  • Why Every RTE REX Should Be Properly Masked
  • The Case For Good Weatherstripping and Door Trim
  • Considering Higher Cost Multi-Tech Sensor Alternatives
