Door Access Control Systems

Keyless entry for offices, HOA amenities, churches and multifamily buildings in Raleigh and the Triangle. Fobs, cards, PIN codes or phones, a record of every door event, and a local team that can manage it for you.

Why access control

Stop re-keying. Know who came in.

Using fobs, proximity cards or PIN codes, you decide who can open which doors, and when. Lose a fob and you turn it off in seconds instead of changing locks.

Every door event is logged by person, door and time. That gives you accountability for shifts and after-hours access, and a clear record if something goes missing.

What you get

  • Keyless entry. Fobs, cards, PIN codes, or phone credentials where the system supports them.
  • Schedules by door. Front doors unlock for business hours; back rooms stay locked.
  • Audit trail. Who opened which door, and when.
  • Works with cameras and alarms. Tie a door event to video, or arm the alarm when the last person leaves.
  • Managed for you, if you want. Send us a name and we add or remove the credential.

What happens when someone taps a fob

Scroll to take one apart. A reader, a fob and a controller replace keys you can never get back.

  1. Reader coverSlim, weather-rated housing that mounts on a door frame or wall.
  2. Antenna coilReads a fob, card or phone at a short distance, so only a deliberate tap opens the door.
  3. Reader boardSends the credential to the door controller, which decides in a fraction of a second.
  4. Mounting plate and wiringWired back to the controller and the door lock, so the reader itself never holds the keys.
  5. Key fobEach person gets their own. Lost fobs are turned off from the app, with no rekeying.
Where it fits

Common access control projects

HOA pools, gates and clubhouses

Residents get a fob; the board turns one off when someone moves or breaks the rules. Hours by season.

Offices and suites

Employees in, visitors buzzed, server and supply rooms restricted.

Multifamily and apartments

Main entries, amenity rooms and package rooms. We support properties with hundreds of units.

Churches and schools

Doors that unlock for services and events on a schedule, and lock themselves after.

Most access systems use an on-site controller and an internet connection for remote management. We plan for power and network during the survey, and tell you how doors behave if either one is down.

Access control FAQ

Can I manage access from my phone?
With a cloud-managed system, yes. You can add or remove users, change schedules and see door activity from the app or a browser. If you'd rather not, we can manage it for you.
What happens if the power or internet goes out?
Controllers can run on backup batteries, and doors are set to fail safe or fail secure depending on the door and code. Remote changes wait until the connection returns. We walk through each door with you during the survey.
Do you install access control for HOAs?
Yes. Pools, gates, clubhouses and fitness rooms are some of our most common projects. See HOA security and access control.
How much does access control cost?
It depends on the number of doors, the door hardware and the wiring path. We price it after a free site survey and put it in writing.
