Mesker: Creating a Safer Employee Experience
DOORS LEFT UNLOCKED & BRASS KEY LIABILITY
In 2023, Mesker Door decided the company needed to take a new approach to securing their manufacturing facilities across the U.S. while giving the flexibility needed to manage door access across multiple shifts. “Without a full understanding of who had what keys to our facilities, we decided we needed to do something different,” said Adam Matusz, president of Mesker. Getting control of brass key access to their facilities was proving to be an impossible task.
MULTIPLE SHIFTS = MULTIPLE CHALLENGES
As Mesker grew, Matusz and his leadership team continued to add staff across multiple shifts. With more staff across multiple shifts, knowing to whom to grant access to which parts of the facilities and when began to create challenges. Add to that the concern over whether employees were relocking primary entrances to the buildings each night and Matusz knew there was a better way.
A BETTER WAY
Ultimately, Mesker was Looking for a way to add electronic access control to their facilities with mobile credential capability for about the price of the current mechanical locks they had in place. So they reached out to Proxess®. “I knew Proxess was looking at EAC much differently than others in the market. And we definitely needed something different.” Matusz recalled.
MOBILE ACCESS & PEACE OF MIND
With Proxess now in place in key locations at his Huntsville, AL facility, Matusz knows this is just the beginning. “With Proxess, being able to issue mobile credentials to our staff and manage access from an app on my phone gives me confidence we now have the accountability and security we always needed,” Matusz said. All for about the cost of a Grade 1 Lock per door.
