A Guide to Choosing the Right Access Control Mount for Your Card Reader

When it comes to access control system installations, the right mount can make all the difference.

Whether you’re looking to install a card reader on a sleek aluminum storefront, a rugged warehouse wall, or a delicate glass panel, choosing the right access point mount ensures the perfect blend of functionality, security, and style. At GTS Innovative, we understand how important it is to get this decision right, and we’re here to help.

 From essential factors to consider to an overview of our Multi-Mount options, you'll be equipped with the knowledge you need to make an informed decision. Plus, we’ll highlight just how versatile and effective our wall mount access point solutions can be in a variety of settings.

FYI: Why the Right Mount Matters in Access Control

Mounting your access control card reader might seem straightforward, but the wrong choice can lead to:

• Installation headaches: Drilling into the wrong surface or using incompatible hardware can turn a quick job into a frustrating mess.

• Security risks: A poorly mounted reader is easier to tamper with, leaving your system—and your space—vulnerable.

• An unpolished look: A sloppy installation can stick out like a sore thumb, detracting from the professional feel of your space.

By selecting the right mount, you ensure a smooth installation, robust security, and a sleek, professional look.

Key Factors to Consider When Choosing an Access Point Mount

Reader Type and Size

Your reader’s size and weight dictate the kind of mount you’ll need to ensure a secure and long-lasting installation. Whether you're working with robust biometric readers or compact proximity card readers, there’s a solution that fits.

• For larger readers (like HID or Aiphone): You’ll need a mount with solid construction to handle both the weight and ensure stability. Our patented Multi-Mount is specifically engineered for this, offering unparalleled support and a snug, secure fit.

• For smaller readers: A compact, surface-mount option is often all you need. These mounts are lightweight but still provide a sturdy base for smaller devices without unnecessary bulk.

Pro tip: Always check the weight specifications of your reader before choosing your mount—it’ll save you time and hassle in the long run.

Mounting Surface

Your installation surface is just as important as the reader itself. Different materials call for different mounting solutions, and selecting the wrong one can lead to frustrating delays or even installation failures. Here’s how to match your mount to the surface:

• Aluminum Frames: Found in many modern offices and storefronts, these sleek frames require a mount that’s quick to install and secure. The Multi-Mount access control is designed specifically for aluminum frames, allowing surface mounting with minimal effort and maximum reliability.

• Glass Panels: High-end retail and corporate spaces often feature glass installations that demand a little extra care. With the right spacers, you can mount your reader without damaging the material or compromising on style.

• Concrete Walls: For heavy-duty surfaces like concrete, you need rugged, durable mounts that can stand up to the material. Our wall mount access point shines here too by reducing the need for excessive drilling, saving you time while ensuring a rock-solid installation.

Remember: the right mount not only makes installation smoother but also prolongs the life of your access control system by reducing wear and tear.

Aesthetics Matter

Let’s be honest—no one wants a clunky, awkward-looking reader hanging on their wall. Your space’s appearance matters, whether it’s a sleek corporate office or a bustling retail store. The access point wall mount offers a clean, professional design that blends seamlessly into any environment.

Security

When it comes to access control, security is the number one priority—and a solid mount plays a huge role in keeping your system safe. The right mount design can significantly reduce tampering risks, with clever features like hidden screws or embedded mounting mechanisms to ensure your reader stays securely in place, even in busy, high-traffic areas where wear and tear are unavoidable.
