Life Cycle Costs At the Door
The comparison following table offers a comparison between a Borer System and a low end, low price competitors system. The comparison is made over a period of 7 years and is based upon the provision of access control for a single leaf wooden door equipped with an electric strike, push to exit button with in and out card access readers.
This comparison uses the list price of the equipment with no attempt to compare the features and benefits of the two solutions. It is simply to demonstrate the difference in life time costs for a standard installation using a competitors system and one using the Borer System.

When choosing an access control system, users often only compare the purchase price. This alone is an inaccurate indication of true costs.
The wrong choice of locks at system design will significantly impact on the lifetime cost of the system deployed.
As the cost of energy continues to escalate and as companies strive to meet the mass of environmental legislation coming from the EU (e.g. WEEE directive, RoHS, EuP Initiative, Battery directive) it makes economic sense to deploy lean and clean solutions.
