Office & Commercial Security Solution
Whether you manage a 10-person startup suite or a 10,000-employee corporate campus, access control is not optional — it is operational infrastructure. HowLock provides the physical security hardware that makes employee access, visitor management, and time attendance reliable, auditable, and scalable.
Spaces We Serve
Corporate Offices
Single-tenant floors, multi-tenant buildings, and corporate headquarters. Our hardware supports hierarchical zone configurations — from the main lobby to the executive floor, server room to parking garage.
Co-Working Spaces
Flexible memberships, hot desks, and meeting room bookings. RFID and mobile credentials integrate with co-working management platforms for seamless member access.
Retail & Commercial Properties
Shopping malls, retail stores, and commercial complexes. Separate public areas from back-of-house operations with distinct access policies and audit trails.
Industrial & Warehouse Facilities
High-value inventory and safety-sensitive zones. Heavy-duty maglocks and weatherproof readers protect perimeter gates, production floors, and hazardous material storage.
Core Capabilities
Employee Access Management
Credential Types
Employees authenticate using RFID badges, fingerprint, facial recognition, or mobile credentials. Deploy multiple methods across different zones to match your security policy.
Zone-Based Access Control
Define who can access which areas and when. A junior employee enters the main office and cafeteria. A department head accesses the executive floor. An IT administrator enters the server room. The system enforces these rules at every door, every time.
Shift & Schedule Restrictions
Credentials activate only during assigned working hours. Night-shift staff cannot enter during daytime, and vice versa. Override permissions exist for authorized managers.
Pre-Registration
Hosts register visitors in advance. The system generates a time-limited QR code or temporary RFID card. Visitors check in at a lobby kiosk, access restricted to the host’s floor only.
Walk-In Registration
Unregistered visitors present ID at the reception desk. The system issues a temporary credential and logs the visit with photo, timestamp, and host information.
Contractor & Vendor Access
Long-term contractors receive credentials with project-duration expiry dates. Access is limited to relevant work areas. All entries and exits are logged for compliance and billing.
Time & Attendance
Access control readers double as time clocks. Employee entry and exit timestamps feed directly into payroll and HR systems. Eliminate buddy-punching with biometric authentication. Late arrivals, early departures, and overtime hours are captured automatically.
Anti-Tailgating & Anti-Passback
For high-security zones, anti-passback rules prevent a single credential from being used twice in succession without an exit event. Speed gates and turnstiles at lobby entry points detect tailgating attempts and trigger alerts.
Scalability: 10 to 10,000+
| Company Size | Typical Setup |
|---|---|
| 10–50 employees | Standalone smart lock or keypad on 2–5 doors |
| 50–a skilled production team | Networked readers + controller panel, 5–20 doors |
| 200–1,000 employees | Multi-zone system with elevator control, 20–100 doors |
| 1,000–10,000+ employees | Enterprise deployment with cloud management, 100+ doors, turnstiles, parking gates |
All hardware uses standard Wiegand (26/34-bit) and OSDP protocols. Systems expand by adding readers and controllers — no rip-and-replace.
