Control Who Gets Near Your Collection
Not every room in a gallery, museum or private home needs the same level of access. ArtworkSecurity designs and installs access control systems that manage who can get into display areas, storage rooms and vaults — and keep a record of who did.
From Keycards to Full Audit Trails
We install systems ranging from simple keypad or card-based door control through to layered access hierarchies for larger institutions — staff, contractors and visitors each with different levels of access, logged and time-stamped.
Our Access Control Services Include:
- Card & Keypad Access: Control entry to storage rooms, vaults and restricted display areas.
- Staff & Contractor Hierarchies: Different access levels for different roles, with a full log of who entered where and when.
- Visitor Flow Management: For galleries and museums, direct visitor movement away from sensitive storage and back-of-house areas.
- Electronic Key Control: Replace informal key handling with a logged, accountable system.
- Integration With Alarms & CCTV: Access events tied to your broader security system, not siloed on their own.
Why Key Control Matters More Than People Think
Informal key handling — keys copied, lent out, or simply unaccounted for — is one of the most common, least discussed security gaps in Australian galleries and private collections. A proper access control system replaces “who has a key” with an actual, logged answer.
Benefits of Proper Access Control
Accountability, Not Just Locks
A lock tells you a door was secured. An access control log tells you who opened it, and when — genuinely useful information if something goes missing, and often exactly what an insurer or investigator will ask for first.
