Actually - you are asking a hardware question technically. Also, do your
door sensors hook into AD? If not - then you would have to make sure the
information on these badges were synched with AD and/or have multiple
methods of authentication on one card (plausible). However, the people here
may/may not have information on this type of authentication and the best
place to start is still a Google search and/or by contacting the company
that does your doors now.

The information is provided "as is", it is suggested you research for
yourself before you take any advice - you are the one ultimately
responsible for your actions/problems/solutions. Know what you are
getting into before you jump in with both feet.
