FAQ
Questions about Access Control
What does an access control installation include?
Typically a credential reader (fob, card or keypad), an electric strike or magnetic lock, a controller and the door hardware adjustments needed for reliable locking. We design the setup around how your team actually uses the entrance.
Can you add access control to an existing commercial door?
Yes, in most cases. We assess the door, frame and hardware first, since reliable access control depends on a properly aligned, self-closing door - and we correct any issues as part of the installation.
How much does a keyless entry system cost for a small business?
A single-door fob or keypad system is more affordable than most owners expect, and far cheaper than rekeying after every staff change. We quote based on the door type, credential method and number of users.
Do electric locks still work during a power outage?
Yes - systems are configured fail-safe or fail-secure depending on the door's role and egress requirements, and we explain which configuration is right for each opening before installing.
