Securing Server Room

What would you guys recommend for security a server room with home assistant. I have a small room that has all my racks etc and don’t want any little people in there shutting off random blinking lights / buttons. Would love to just have an NFC card that I could scan with my phone and have it release a magnetic lock. However if any child got into the room for whatever reason, they would need to be able to get out just by opening the door … thoughts on what might be able to get this job done?

Have a release button on the inside.

A door lock and a key.

Talk about overengineering stuff…

Yup… I specialize in over engineering. I thought maybe a finger print scanner to a mag lock, but how to trigger it to unlock when from the inside?

Button to cut power to the magnetic lock. And while you’re at it, add one on the outside too. Because the last thing you want is to be locked out of your server room because the server that controls the lock crashed…
