Today’s secured entry solutions make it possible to create a welcoming, attractive look and feel at the entry without compromising security. It is for this reason that security entrances have moved to the mainstream.

McKinsey believes that number could eclipse $1 trillion by the end of the decade, further underscoring the industry’s exponential growth.
