Access Control
Access control is used to manage and regulate access to buildings and individual rooms using electronic devices such as readers, locks and remote time clocks. Access control equipment is very versatile and can be integrated with automatic doors, lifts, lockers and turnstiles.
The University is in the process of installing SALTO access control products across its sites. View information on how these locks work and where they are currently located.
KentOne ID cards are automatically programmed with access to the Templeman Library. If you require access to additional areas, please submit a request by emailing the appropriate division or deparment.
