Has it been a challenge lately to maintain a clean environment in your healthcare facility? Are you looking for a more secured access control mechanism to strengthen your organization’s security? The mechanism of door interlocking might just be the perfect answer to these queries.
What is Door Interlocking/ Airlock/ Mantrap/ Tiger Trap?
Encompassing a small space with two separate sets of interlocking doors or more, door interlocking is a part of the access control mechanism that creates a trapped environment for the individual before letting him/ her ingress or egress to a secured area. It can either be handled manually with the help of security guards or automatically via an access control mechanism. In the access control mechanism, the second door can only be opened, when the first door is securely locked and closed. The authentication mechanism of the second door works only when the first door is locked.
Use Case – Healthcare Units
Door interlocking is best suited for healthcare facilities wherein a peculiar setup is created facilitating a cleaner environment. For instance, entry/ exit to a critical lab facility can be monitored with door interlocking to create a completely clean environment. The space existing between two or more sets of doors eliminates all the possibilities of air contamination from anywhere.
Use Case – Critical Infrastructure
It can also be used for a critical infrastructure where a combination of other security measures such as sensor inputs, weight sensors, and approval from a security guard via any remote monitoring system such as CCTV can be utilized. For instance, in a highly-secured facility where there exist chances of malpractices both from the internal and external environment, this technology can work wonders. Once an individual/ vehicle or people enter from the first door and it’s locked safely, they can be monitored and authenticated via CCTV surveillance before being given entry through the second door afterward.
