Cobra Control Access Control Readers + Where to Purchase Compatible Credentials

In the access control industry, a handful of major players like HID, Honeywell, AWID, and Dormakaba dominate the market. However, there are also several smaller companies making their mark in this sector. Companies such as Cobra Controls may not offer as extensive a range of products, but they have successfully established themselves as cost-effective alternatives. These companies cater to smaller businesses looking to implement access control solutions without the financial burden of a more elaborate system.

What is Cobra Controls?

Cobra Controls is an American access control solution provider operating out of New York. The company doesn’t sell products directly on its website but instead uses a third-party distributor – Maglocks.

They have six models of door control boards. The control boards come with Cobra Controls .net Access Control Software, so customers can monitor their doors in real time, manage privileges, remotely lock or unlock doors, and review activity logs.
