The average cost for access control systems is $3,350 per door, according to KISIBlog. Prices can range all the way from $2,400-$4,300 per door in the year 2021, with installation of a door reader and hardware on a door with existing locks. Of course, this estimate includes the price of a basic door license, which generally costs $600 per year. There are several ways to save on costs, though.

What Is An Access Control System?
There are actually three different types of access control:
- Mandatory Access Control (MAC)
- Discretionary Access Control (DAC)
- Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)
Mandatory Access Control is the highest level of access control, usually utilized in government and/or military facilities. Security policies are set in place for classifications of access. Role-Based Access Control is the most requested access control system because of its level of security and affordable price. With this control system, users have the ability to set security preferences. The lowest level of access control is the Discretionary Access Control. Just like the Role-Based Access Control, the user is free to set security preferences with the Discretionary Access Control.
