Access control specialist TDSi is working closely with Storage King, one of the UK's fastest growing self storage operations serving both business and the general public, to install a tailored access control solution at each of the company's sites. The first complete installation is now in operation at the company's Tyseley site in the West Midlands and is already delivering key security and operational benefits to the management team.
Historically Storage King had employed conventional intruder alarm systems, primarily protecting the perimeter of its sites. However, the company identified that by enhancing its access control procedures, it would not only be able to eliminate one of the curses of the self storage industry, tailgating - where one car quickly follows another into the compound before the entrance gates have closed - but would also be able to integrate the system with its booking and financial operations.
