Rabone Systems designs, installs, and maintains enterprise-grade access control solutions for commercial real estate, multi-tenant, and high-security environments across Brisbane, Gold Coast, Ipswich, and Sunshine Coast.
As certified integrators of ICT, HID, ASSA ABLOY, and Suprema, we engineer access control infrastructure tailored to your operational
demands.
An Electronic Access Control System (EACS) is a digital security infrastructure designed to manage physical entry into a commercial facility or specific internal zones. An enterprise access control system serves as an intelligence engine that captures and logs continuous event data across single-site or multi-location facilities.
Commercial access control systems assist facilities across SEQ answer three primary questions:
By logging this data, building owners, facility managers, and enterprise operations teams can maintain a complete, verifiable audit trail.
Rabone Systems engineers complete commercial access control environments tailored to site-specific buildings from Maroochydore
to South Port.
User-facing hardware mounted at access points—including intercoms, RFID card readers, biometric scanners (fingerprint or facial recognition), and mobile credential interfaces.
The local decision engine at the door, processing inputs (Door Position Sensors, Request to Exit buttons, break-glass units) and executing real-time outputs (releasing locks, sounding local alarms, or signaling video systems)
Electronic locking mechanisms, including electric strikes, electromagnetic locks (maglocks), and electronic mortise locks.
The management platform responsible for hardware commissioning, cardholder database administration, operator access privileges, and audit log
By establishing distinct cardholder profiles, Rabone Systems designs structured access control architectures that assign clear physical
entry privileges across all operating scenarios:
During operational hours, general cardholders need frictionless access through entries, turnstiles, and doors. Credentials restrict movement to designated work zones and shared spaces, preventing access to unauthorised zones.
Base-building operations can either manage tenant access directly or accommodate individual company admins without compromising site security. Modular architecture allows tenants to administer credentials for assigned doors only while restricting entry to neighboring tenancies and critical infrastructure.
Visitors and contractors require strictly bounded access to perform on-site duties. Temporary credentials restrict access to specific time windows, dates, or entry points to confine movement to designated areas only.
Assigned to facility managers, emergency responders, and executive staff, high-privilege credentials grant master clearance across perimeter entries, elevator floors, and critical utility zones.
High user convenience using iOS or Android devices. Requires a charged phone.
Maximum security with an uncompromised audit trail. Credentials cannot be shared, traded, or stolen.
Low-cost entry mechanisms. PINs must be rotated regularly across tenant groups to prevent code sharing.
Highly durable with low failure rates. However, physical cards can be lost or passed to unauthorized individuals, compromising log accuracy.
Installed directly into the door frame, electric strikes release an internal lip to clear the latch bolt upon authorization. They offer the most cost-effective, practical solution for standard office doors.
Maglocks provide a reliable locking solution for glass doors where standard hardware cannot be recessed. Operating independently of door handles, they require secondary exit-side break-glass switches to sever power in case of emergency.
Drop bolts drop a vertical pin into a floor plate and require exact door alignment to engage. V-Locks feature an angled latching design that tolerates door misalignment up to 5mm.
Housed directly inside the door assembly, electronic mortise locks deliver high-security while preserving door aesthetics. Installation requires drilling through the door core and fitting hinges to route cabling —costing up to three times more than an electric strike.
Rabone Systems recommend building owners and facility managers initiate a site review when experiencing:
Relying on 125 kHz Prox or unencrypted CSN credentials exposes your site to duplication using off-the-shelf handheld cloners. Modernizing to encrypted readers restores integrity and eliminates cloning risks.
Perimeter and automatic doors operating without true Door Position Sensors (DPS) leave management unaware if doors fail to lock after hours or are forcibly held open.
Unmaintained databases allow former staff, contractors, or tenants to retain active physical access. Upgrading provides a structured cutover to purge legacy databases and reissue verified, role-based credentials
Operators find themselves unable to extract verified, time-stamped event logs (Who, When, Where) following a physical incident—compromising post-event accountability and exposing the asset to compliance liability.
Running access control and intrusion alarms as isolated platforms forces staff to manage duplicate PINs rather than automatically disarming secure zones via authorized credentials.
Enterprise access control lowers operational overhead by streamlining multi-tenant administration, reducing manual security staffing, and integrating directly with Destination Control Systems (DCS) for optimized elevator routing.
By eliminating standalone server hardware and transitioning to cloud-managed architecture, facilities eliminate local server maintenance,
public certificate management, and port-forwarding overhead. Centralized database management streamlines onboarding and offboarding,
allowing operators to purge legacy "ghost" credentials instantaneously across multiple sites without local re-enrollment delays.
Unified enterprise access control, intrusion detection, and building automation with native mobile management..
High-security RFID readers, encrypted credential cards, and mobile access interfaces engineered to secure entry points.
Enterprise-grade physical electronic locking hardware—including electric strikes, electromagnetic locks, and electronic mortise locks.
