Traditional access control mechanisms.

Door locks ensure security or protection against intruders. Where a lock is in place
accessibility to unauthorised persons /objects is denied.
There is progressive development in locking systems due to technological development.
Locking systems are changing for the better everyday.

ACCESS CONTROL
REGISTRATION PROCEDURES
a. Log books
They are maintained showing access in and out of the premises. Names of visitors are recorded down with
purpose of visit. Time in and out is also noted and signed. Every location must have a log book.
Gate passes: They are issued to visitors after being authorised to enter the premises.
The main advantage of log book and gate passes is in the event of a disaster such as fire outbreak, bomb
explosion, earthquake etc the book can be used to check who was in the premises and their whereabouts.
The information in the log bks can also be used to assist in carrying out investigations by the R & S and
the police.
The main disadvantages of the registration procedure are:-
 that the personnel tasked to enforce the system tend to relax and violate the procedures.
 Visitors with hidden agendas always give false particulars thus subverting the system.

 The system can be technologically developed as discussed later.
