Access control restricts entrance to unauthorized persons.  If required, it can monitor, record and limit access to authorized perons as well. 

Physical Security restricts entrance by offering mechanical protection using commercial grade locks and high security cylinders.  To  protect against physical attacks, UL437 CX5 high security cylinders have been successfully tested for picking, impression, forcing, drilling, sawing, prying, pulling, driving and corrosion.
