You want to grant temporary after-hours access to cleaning crews without handing out permanent keys to your office on Meeting Street?
Your co-working space on Upper King needs to control access to individual offices, the main door, and conference rooms — all from an app?

Frequently Asked Questions

For businesses with 1-4 doors, a standalone keypad lock is the simplest and most affordable option. For 4+ doors or if you need audit logs, a cloud-managed system like Brivo or Openpath is ideal.

Keypad locks start at $150 installed. Card reader systems run $500-$900 per door. Cloud-managed systems start at $800 per door plus $5-$15/door/month. We provide detailed quotes after a free site survey.

Yes. Cloud-managed systems like Brivo, Openpath, and Kisi have mobile apps that let you lock/unlock doors, add/remove credentials, view audit logs, and receive alerts from anywhere.

It depends on the system. Stand-alone keypad locks are battery-powered and need no wiring. Card reader systems with electric locks require low-voltage wiring from the reader to the controller and lock. We handle all wiring in-house.

Yes. Cloud-managed systems provide detailed audit logs showing who accessed which doors and when. This documentation is essential for HIPAA, SOC 2, and other compliance frameworks.

We configure electric locks in fail-safe mode for egress doors (they unlock when power is lost for safe exit) and fail-secure mode for sensitive areas (they remain locked). Battery backup is available for controllers.

Yes. Many cloud-managed platforms integrate with camera systems, so you can view video alongside access events. We can coordinate with your existing camera vendor or recommend compatible options.

With keypad locks, you add or delete PIN codes. With card/fob systems, you activate or deactivate credentials in the management software. Cloud systems let you do this from your phone in seconds.
