Access Control

Commercial Access Control Systems

We install card, fob and phone entry on every door you need to control, managed from anywhere and tied to your cameras and alarm.

What's Included

One team handles it all, from the first door survey to the final handoff.

  • Door survey and designWe walk every door and design the system around how your people move through the building. The walkthrough is free.
  • Readers and credentialsYou can choose card, fob, mobile and biometric readers, plus keypad door locks where a reader is more than the door needs.
  • Door hardwareWe install the electric strikes, maglocks, request-to-exit devices and door position switches.
  • Telephone entry and intercomsWe install telephone entry and intercoms at your entrances, so visitors call in at the door and get let in.
  • Controllers and cablingControllers, power supplies and battery backup go in on cable we pull and label ourselves.
  • IntegrationWe tie door events to your cameras and alarm, so a forced door comes with video.
  • DocumentedEvery door is labeled and tested, with as-builts and a door schedule at handoff.

Commercial Access Control Installation

We design and install access control systems for offices, warehouses, manufacturing plants, medical offices, cannabis facilities, retail and multi-tenant buildings. Card and fob readers go on the main entries, mobile credentials suit staff who never carry a badge, and keypad locks cover closets and back rooms. Every entry is logged, and a lost card is shut off from your phone instead of a rekey.

Replacing an older system? We reuse the locks, strikes and door wiring that are still in good shape, so the budget goes to the controllers and readers that need it.

PDK, Brivo and UniFi Access

We install three access control platforms and match the platform to the building, not the other way around.

  • PDKPDK is cloud-managed access control for commercial buildings. Doors and credentials run from any browser or phone, and PDK ties into Hanwha WAVE so badge swipes are bookmarked in your video.
  • BrivoBrivo's cloud access control runs one door or hundreds of locations from one dashboard. Mobile passes replace cards, and wireless locks cover doors that are hard to wire.
  • UniFi AccessUniFi Access is Ubiquiti's door system for buildings on UniFi. Readers take cards, fobs, phone wallet passes and face recognition entry, door events sit beside your UniFi Protect cameras, and there are no license fees.

Access Control, Cameras and Alarms on One System

Integrate access control with your cameras and alarm and they work as one. A forced door pulls up video from that door, badge swipes are paired with footage, and doors lock on the schedule the alarm arms.

Service agreements add twice-yearly access control checks and covered repairs. See Service Agreements.

For cameras, see Video Surveillance & Security Cameras, and for alarms, see Business Security & Alarm Monitoring. For AI at the door, see AI Security Systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which access control system is right for our building?

It depends on the doors, the sites and who manages it. PDK fits buildings that want cloud management with Hanwha video, Brivo suits property managers with many locations, and UniFi Access makes sense for buildings already on UniFi. The free survey settles it.

Can access control integrate with our security cameras?

Yes. PDK works with Hanwha WAVE, Brivo with Eagle Eye and other video systems, and UniFi Access with UniFi Protect. Each badge swipe, forced door or door held open is tied to video from that door, so you see who came in without scrubbing through hours of footage.

What happens to the doors if the power or internet goes out?

The controllers make decisions on site, so doors keep working when the internet drops. Battery backup keeps readers and locks running through a short power outage. Each door is also set fail-safe, releasing when power is lost, or fail-secure, staying locked, depending on whether it is an exit or a secure door.

Can we manage several buildings or tenants from one system?

Yes. Each tenant gets its own space, shared lobbies and docks run on schedules, and new tenants are set up before move-in without a site visit. Companies with several sites manage every door from one account.

How much does commercial access control cost?

It depends on the doors rather than a price list. The reader and lock hardware, whether the frames and wiring can be reused, credentials, integration with cameras and the software all affect the cost. Some platforms carry a yearly software fee, and UniFi Access has none. The site assessment is free and you receive a quote.
