Commercial Access Control Systems

Cloud-managed and on-prem access control: credentials, mobile keys, biometric readers, and multi-site lockdown.

Overview

We design access control that fits how your business actually operates — from single-tenant offices to multi-site industrial portfolios. Cloud-managed platforms from Brivo, Kantech, Genetec, and Ubiquiti UniFi Access are standard, with on-premises Software House and RS2 available for higher-security occupancies.

Integrations with video surveillance, intrusion, visitor management, and HR systems mean credentials, alerts, and audit trails live in one place.

Frequently asked

Do you work with existing door hardware?

In most cases, yes. We assess strikes, mag locks, and REX devices for reuse before quoting replacements.

Can access control tie into our fire alarm?

Yes. Doors on the egress path are wired to release on fire alarm activation per code.
