Your best friend when it comes to access systems

Not all heroes wear capes, as the saying goes. The same goes for DTC Key-systems, which helps out healthcare, industrial, utility and hotel companies when there are problems with or solutions to be found for automated access control systems.

We speak with co-owner Dieter Schildkamp of DTC Key-systems, about absolute expertise in a niche market. "We solve all problems for our customers with A-quality products, as this allows us to offer the most solutions technically and guarantee service for years to come," he opens the conversation.

The access medium can vary, which can be a card, a tag or a digital key sent from an app.

Total package with 24-hour service

"To be clear, DTC Key-systems is not a store where you can shop for access control products. All the new deliveries we make stem from problems we solve in the market. We have been serving healthcare institutions for more than 15 years now, which is why that sector accounts for approximately 70% of our sales," Schildkamp outlines. DTC Key-systems does its work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week."

We provide access control, electric locks, intercom and door automation.

The most common problem to be solved is realizing controlled access at care facilities. "Intramural is easier to arrange, but extramural, i.e. individual care homes, involves a lot more. We have more than 15 years of experience in this and often say that we take care away from worry. Whether it's elderly care, care for the demented, or heavy care, the problem doesn't change, but the products are constantly changing. Therefore, institutions can no longer see the forest for the trees and prefer to work with a partner who provides exactly the right access control solution based on requirements, wishes and needs. Moreover, they want to do business with a party that seeks a total solution in A-quality materials. These last longer, work reliably and can be serviced for a long time."

Customized solutions in key problems

Each situation requires its own solution, i.e. customization. "We can make a responsible choice for the end user because we work brand-independently," continued Schildkamp. "We supply access control, electric locks, intercom and door automation. Even the whole door, if necessary. The access medium can vary, it can be a card, a tag or a digital key controlled from an app. We make sure the access rights work on locks on the inside and outside of a building."

Property managers are also finding their way to DTC Key-systems. "We supply them with electronic keys for business premises, which can be managed remotely. For this reason, hotel chains also like working with us. Some hotels even send their customers a digital key after online booking and payment, which gives exclusive and temporary access to the booked accommodation via an app. It can be that easy."

From advice to maintenance

DTC Key-systems advises, supplies, assembles and maintains access systems. Aftersales is very important in this regard. Schildkamp concludes that companies with the same know-how can be counted on the fingers of one hand. "Our working method appeals because we only work with A-brands. We now maintain some 25,000 doors so that they open and close every day with the systems we supply. That says something about us," he concludes.
