Straight Talk About Electronic Access Control
There are four ways to provide access to a door or gate on your property:
- A key, credential or card, or a fob.
- A combination/passcode for a keypad.
- Biometrics: finger print, vein patterns, and hand readers.
- A combination of any of the above.
Your options for electronically controlling openings are as follows:
- Electrified mechanical locks that replace existing locks
- Battery powered locks
- Electric strikes that replace the door latch keeper with one that can be controlled electrically
- Electromagnets
- Electronic cylinder replacements
- Electrically controlled doors or gates
Each of these solutions has their strengths and shortcomings, and your final selection should be based on what is the strongest, the most durable or the most cost-effective access control system to install. Our access control specialists are ready to consult with you about your security needs.

Your Access Control FAQs
A. Absolutely! We do new installations, retrofit installations, simple replacements, or whatever is required for your particular project.
Q. Can I use some of my existing hardware?
A. Yes! Reusing existing hardware is a very cost-effective and green solution, in most cases. If the hardware is sufficiently durable and strong, but more flexibility is needed, or an audit trail is required, we often utilize the hardware at hand and just add the component that is missing.
Q. Can I add onto my access control system later?
A. Generally, additional elements of access control, audit trail, or time zones can be added at a later date. This depends on the type of controlling elements we are using. This is something we’ll discuss with you in order to find the perfect solution to your security needs.
