Illustrated customer-safe access control intake example. All records are fictional.

Include these details

  • Site, building, floor, door name, reader, gate, elevator, or controlled opening.
  • Whether the issue affects one credential, one person, one door, a schedule, a group, or all access.
  • Exact example time, timezone, direction of travel, displayed reader behavior, and any audible or visible indication.
  • Whether the door is locked, unlocked, forced, held, not latching, or behaving on the wrong schedule.
  • Recent badge, employee, schedule, holiday, construction, power, network, or door-hardware changes.

Safety and security

  • Use approved onsite safety and physical-security procedures for a door that will not secure or an occupant who cannot exit safely.
  • Do not share full credential numbers, PINs, passwords, or controller secrets in the ticket.
  • Do not reset controllers, bypass locks, prop doors, or change life-safety hardware unless authorized and directed.
  • For immediate danger or life safety, contact emergency services first and then follow the approved DSE escalation path.
