Access Control Power Supplies

Access control systems include biometric readers, keyless entry locks, card readers and programmable keypads which restrict unauthorized access to a room or a building. Home Security Store offers all of these in our catalog of security products. Each one of these also requires a unique type of power supply, which can be found in this section. We offer a varied selection of access control power supply options, all of which can be self-installed.

Here, brand name manufacturers, such as General Electric and Altronix can be found. Prior to purchasing an access control power supply, however, it is necessary to know precisely what type will be needed. Some of the options that we’ve made available include supplies powered by a transformer, a plug-in charger or power sources which offer a DC output.

It may be helpful to select an appropriate power supply at the same time that a new access control system or device is purchased. At this time, customers are also advised to know how much tamper resistance is desired in terms of how many pounds of force one desires new locks to resist. For instance, 600 pounds of tamper strength means that any force less than 600 pounds will not have an effect on the locks and that more weight is needed in order to force an entry. A prior understanding of how much power is needed will also help in determining which power supply to purchase. Remember that our tech support team is available to customers with product questions or to help troubleshoot specific installation challenges.
