The Risk Behind "Just Lock the Door"
- Missed lockups leave the building exposed overnight with no alert.
- Time disputes — "you opened at 6, not 7" — with no evidence.
- Unknown access — manual keys leave no trail of who entered when.
How the System Closes the Gap
- Each door gets a checkpoint button; the officer scans it while locking/unlocking.
- The Guard Key identifies who performed the action.
- The Guard tour management System logs lock/unlock time to the minute and flags any door not secured in its window.
Manual vs Automated Locking — What to Log
| Element | Without system | With a TopSecu guard tour system |
|---|---|---|
| Proof of lockup | Trust / memory | Time-stamped scan per door |
| Who did it | Unknown | Guard Key identity |
| Missed door | Silent | Auto "missed" alert |
| Audit trail | None | Complete history |
Steps to Set Up
- List every door on the lock/unlock schedule.
- Place a checkpoint button at each (iButton for exterior/weather-exposed).
- Assign Guard Keys to the officers on the schedule.
- Program open/close times in the Guard tour management System.
- Review the nightly report; the system highlights any unsecured door.
