Access Control Systems
Control over who can get into which parts of your building, and a record of who did — replacing keys and guesswork with something you can actually audit.

Why it matters
No more re-keying
Lost a card or a staff member left? Revoke access instantly instead of rekeying locks.
A real audit trail
Know exactly who came and went, and when.
Fewer unauthorized entries
Access matched to role and area, not one master key for everyone.
What this covers
- Card, biometric, or PIN-based access matched to how the building is actually used
- Permission management by role, area, and time, so access can be granted or revoked instantly
- Integration with CCTV and alarms, so access events and footage line up
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between card, biometric, and PIN access?
Card access uses a physical card or fob tapped at a reader — fast, but a lost card is a risk until revoked. Biometric (fingerprint or face) can't be lost or lent out but costs more per door. PIN is cheapest but codes can be shared or observed. Most sites mix these by area — biometric on server rooms, cards for general staff access, for example.
Can I still use my existing door locks with an access control system?
Usually yes, with an electric strike or maglock retrofit to the existing door — a full door replacement usually isn't necessary. We assess your actual doors and hardware before recommending anything.
What happens to access control during a power outage?
Properly designed systems have battery backup built in, so doors keep functioning through an outage — fail-secure or fail-safe behavior (does it lock or unlock without power) is a decision we make deliberately per door, based on what makes sense for safety and security there.
