A Orange County shopping mall is a wonderful place for people to get everything they need from a variety of stores, while spending time with people they care about and possibly even meeting new folks. However, from a security perspective, it can be a logistical challenge. People coming in and out, sometimes in great waves, to a variety of different stores that also tend to come and go, too. Here at Action 1st, we’ve been providing commercial keyless entry systems for shopping malls and other high traffic locations. In this blog, we’ll come some of how our commercial keyless entry systems can help your mall security.
The main word to focus on in the heading of this paragraph may not be “commercial,” but it is “keyless.” If you’ve ever worked with a security professional (or anyone else that has to carry a large number of keys) you know that it’s a cumbersome at best and a genuine nuisance at worst. In an emergency, it’s difficult for even the most conscientious security professional to rifle through their keys, find the right one and open the door. Our keyless entry systems eliminate that. Instead, our solutions make it easy to press a button and open a door – no keys necessary.
In today’s marketplace, a shopping mall could have far more diverse types of tenants than ever before. A high-end jewelry store may require different security solutions than a Goodwill store at the other end of the mall. By that same token, they both will need different security than a 24-hour gym. On top of that, they’ll have to be protected when people come and go from that gym at 3 and 4 in the morning, too. With Action 1st, we can devise keyless security options that cover each of these locations. We can make security that fits the jewelry store, the second-hand good store, the gym and every other kind of tenant imaginable.
The above paragraph references how you can secure different tenants in regards to customers. Another important factor to keep in mind is staffing, vendors and the like. Businesses need them to be able to come and go in a shopping mall, but you also want to make sure they only have access to the locations you want them to have access to. With just a few keystrokes, you can make sure that every vendor only has access to a certain location at a specific time. That way, you keep all of our tenants happy.
With the right security solutions, your shopping mall can be a secure, thriving place that customers and tenants love in equal measure. Over the years, we’ve seen mall security change quite a bit. Today, we can bring your mall the best, most cutting edge solutions. Schedule a free, onsite consultation by calling us at (949) 828-3008 or message us through our site.
At times, it can seem like today’s office has to do more than ever before. The office is typically where the employees for the company work. On top of that, it may host potential investors, clients and the like. Some offices also double as storefronts, meaning that customers need access, too. Add into that maintenance crews, vendors and the like, and it starts to add up that plenty of people come through the typical office. Here at Action 1st, we’ve helped so many offices to maintain tight security while allowing easy access for the people they want to have come in. Below, we’ll discuss how our office keyless access control locks can work for your office.
Even the best employee sometimes forgets their keys. No matter how talented, how diligent, hardworking or conscientious, practically everyone forgets their keys sooner or later. While this may not always be the gravest concern, when it happens at the wrong time, it can lead to significant problems. That’s where our keyless options step in. Now, the employee can’t forget their keys or lose access. Forgive the double negative, but you can’t lose something that doesn’t exist. Keyless options allow your employees to always have access when they need it.
The key phrase in the last sentence is “when they need it.” Sometimes, you don’t want your employees to have access to the office. Maybe you have sensitive areas or resources, perhaps you’re worried that some are coming before or after work and you’d like to put a stop to it. Whatever your reasons are, with our keyless options, you can make sure that your employees are only able to enter when you want them to do so. Pressing a few buttons limits their access to their shift, so that you’re always in control.
When there’s a theft or some other kind of emergency, you’d like to think that the employee or employees responsible would step up immediately. Alas, that’s doesn’t always happen. With traditional keys, it can be difficult to figure out who had access to what location, where and when. However, with our keyless options, it’s incredibly easy. Since all of that information is online, you can find out who was in what area when. Instead of having to piece things together on your own, you can have the truth in seconds.
Saying goodbye to an employee isn’t easy, whether you let them go or they’re moving on of their own volition. You have to ask for their keys and cross your fingers that they didn’t’ make a backup. Keyless options, of course, eliminate this concern. All you have to do is turn off their access; you don’t even have to take their keycards from them. To find out more ways that Action 1st can make security easier on you, give us a call at (949) 828-3008. We’ll come to your location and perform a free, on-site evaluation.
Wireless and mobile electronic commercial door locks have quickly become some of the most popular choices for businesses. The reasons are simple: they’re highly effective and they also save money. For example, what we think of as a “traditional” wired access control system consumes far more power than integrated wireless locksets. In fact, they use as much as 80% more power. In this blog, we’ll go over some of the benefits of these cutting edge, modern locks.
One of the best things about these locks is that “wireless” isn’t an exaggeration, it’s the truth. So, you never have to run unsightly wires through your business. That means that the locks can be up and running much faster than previous models. Of course, this makes the entire service less expensive as well. It can also help your general, overall security. Without visible wires, potential intruders won’t have a target that they can dismantle. Wi-Fi locks aren’t just the future, they’re also the present.
With these Wi-Fi-enabled locks, you can lock any interior or exterior door on your office. However, you can also lock cabinets, lockers, server cabinets and anything else that needs locking. This can be a great asset for companies with sensitive data centers, expensive retail items, and many other high-value targets. Many of our locks are so strong they’re used in medical centers, where people’s lives are literally on the line. That same level of security can be brought to your place of business.
Look over all the different kinds of doors and facilities we’ve mentioned so far in this blog. Now, imagine trying to juggle all of those locks with a set of keys. Those keys would be unwieldy at best. However, with our electronic locks, everything is all in one place. Instead of having to rifle through all kinds of keys to find (and not lose) the right one, everything can all be in one place. Access isn’t restricted to who has the key; instead, it’s restricted to those who use the electronics. This makes it far easier to control.
The days of trying to figure out who had access to what area when are over. These locks make it easy to establish a clear audit trail. We can provide customized solutions to your area. For more information and a free estimate, give us a call at (949) 828-3008.

Many people are making use of the extra space they might have in their home to make a bit of extra income. That’s where Airbnb comes in to manage the process. We’ve put together a few tips for anyone rent out their property as an Airbnb.
First, create house rules and a house manual to tell guests what to expect during their stay. Include the following:
Airbnb offers Host Protection Insurance that covers you in terms of liability for up to $1 million in case a guest is injured during their stay with you, or causes damage to your property while staying at your rental. That said, don’t rely on the Airbnb insurance program alone.
Do careful research to find out what public liability insurance you can purchase to cover you in the event of a guest emergency or damage to your property. This will give you extra peace of mind in the event of a potentially expensive problem.
A system with remote access abilities will allow you to control the system remotely from any device. You’re more likely to get bookings if you have an alarm system. That can make guests feel more secure.

The electronic commercial door locks that we offer can help with a wide variety of different locations. One particular kind of commercial building that our locks help with quite a bit is shopping malls. That’s true for a variety of reasons. Shopping malls all overuse our locks to keep their items and shoppers secure. In this blog, we’ll go over how our locks aid malls as well as how they can provide security in many different situations.
A shopping mall is unlike any other kind of building. There’s so much that goes into a shopping mall. Few other kinds of buildings have so many different kinds of establishments in them. Shopping malls have movie theaters, gyms, bookstores, furniture stores and so many other kinds of shops. They also have much more than shops, too. Some malls even have complete amusement parks, daycare, recording studios and so much else. For our locks to work for shopping malls, they have to be able to keep all of those kinds of buildings secure.
Many shopping malls use our electronic access control systems. You may have heard of this kind of lock before, as it’s also called “keyless access control.” What sets these locks apart from others is that they are both secure and simple. They don’t require someone having to hold onto a whole bunch of different kinds of keys or anything like that. These locks make it so that they can all be managed from just one place, one simple, single interface. That makes assignments easy, among many other facets of simplicity.
We mention that these locks don’t require keys. In fact, their flexibility is one of their most popular traits. They can be opened with a key card, but they can also be opened with a personal identification number as well. That’s only the beginning of their flexibility however. They can be made specific to the users at a given time. So, if you want to give access to a delivery worker or a temp employee for only a given period of time, that’s possible. If you have a morning shift and a night shift, each of those employees can also be given access solely for the times that they’re on the job. These locks put the users in control.
Part of what makes these kinds of locks so unique is that they provide complete accountability. You can know who entered when and whether they were supposed to. They provide a complete audit trail. So, every entrance and exit is monitored as well as fully recorded. You won’t have to look far or search for this information, either. Generating reports can be done with just the press of a button. You do that, and you can see everyone who came to any door or came out through it at any time.
Putting in commercial door locks shouldn’t be difficult. It should not be, under any circumstances, the kind of thing that requires a business to be shuttered for any length of time. That’s part of why we made these security locks so easy to put in. Then, they’re easily given to each tenant. So, each tenant is given their number, and they’re ready to go. They don’t have to get used to a key or have anything to remember beyond the door. Plus, when you give a tenant a number, you put them in control of their own security. They can manage their own doors, they can manage their access permissions, and they can make all of the choices they have to for their business and security.
These locks can work in multiple ways. Some of our clients opt for an “access control keypad.” These use personal identification numbers. People just type them into the keypad and open the door. Since each person has a unique number, it’s easy to track who comes in and out. Another option that customers available themselves of is the card reader. The same principle as you might be used to a card is used; it opens the door and lets the person in. This also makes deactivation easy, as a person’s access can be revoked in just the press of a button.
We understand that not every shopping mall will know exactly what kind of security solution they want. That’s why we like working in shopping malls in Orange County and other commercial locations. We love sitting down with prospective clients to figure out how we can best provide them with the security they deserve. Feel free to contact us for more information or to get started with your door locks by giving us a call at (949) 828-3008 or heading to our commercial door lock website.
Security is critical to your business. No matter what kind of business you run, for it to thrive and be successful, it has to be secure. It’s impossible to run a store, office, or any other kind of commercial location if it doesn’t have adequate security. In the old days, perhaps a lock and key were good enough, but that era is long gone by now. To secure your commercial location, you need a new kind of security. That’s where we come in. Our electronic commercial door locks are just one of the products we offer to ensure that your commercial location is secure at all times.
When we say “electronic commercial door locks,” the phrase can mean many things. The “locks” doesn’t just have to mean a lock and key. With recent advancements in technology, there are so many more different kinds of commercial locks available than ever before. For example, card key systems are some of the most popular. To get access to your commercial establishment, a person would need the right card key. If they don’t have it, they aren’t getting in.
One of our most popular and more comprehensive door locks involves the “biometric system.” While it may sound like something from science fiction, all it means is that the locks recognize people by distinct, unique individual characteristics that can be measured. As you might imagine, that includes features like a person’s fingerprint, the iris of their eye, or other facial features. As you might imagine, these systems are nigh impossible to breach.
Biometric locks are popular for a wide variety of reasons. For one thing, these locks are simpler than most. They totally eliminate any need for having to remember keypad codes or access control cards. Instead of your employees getting to work and then realizing they forgot their ID at home, they literally can’t forget to bring their ID with them. There’s also no way whatsoever that they can share their method of entry with others.
One of the best features of biometric electronic commercial door locks is accountability. You can control and know exactly who is allowed in what area at what time. On top of that, these locks are powerful, strong and secure. To explore our door lock options further, call us at (800)675-3015 or go to our website.
