Readers · fobs · intercomsAccess control installation in Toronto & the GTA.
We fit readers, door controllers, electric strikes or maglocks, exit devices and intercoms, then set up the cards, fobs, PINs or phone access your people use to get in.
What’s included.
Each controlled door needs a reader, a controller, a lock, power, a way to get out and a door contact. We install and wire all of it, then set up the users and schedules.
Readers & credentials
Reader technology and card, fob, PIN or mobile options matched to the selected platform.
Controllers & panels
Door controllers, enclosures, network links and centralized equipment arranged for service access.
Locking coordination
Low-voltage interfaces planned with appropriate strikes, locks, door contacts and power supplies.
Exit & monitoring devices
Request-to-exit, door-position and related devices coordinated around required door behaviour.
Setup & handover
Users, schedules and basic system operation configured and explained to designated administrators.
Who gets in, and when.
In a business we set up staff groups, working hours and a record of who opened which door. At home it is usually family, a cleaner or a dog walker, plus an intercom for visitors.

What we check on each door.
Locking hardware has to let people out safely and release for the fire alarm. We confirm the door and frame type, the power available and who is responsible for the lock hardware before work starts.
Door hardware
Door type, frame, lock and closer affect which access devices and interfaces are practical.
Power behaviour
Lock state, backup power and controller operation during an outage are defined around the required application.
System ownership
Credential administration, user removal, schedules and audit review should have a clear responsible owner.
Coordination
Locksmith, door, electrical, fire-alarm and life-safety coordination may be required depending on the opening and design.
Common questions.
Can access control be added to an existing door?
Often, yes. The door, frame, lock, egress requirements, available pathway and power must be reviewed. Coordination with door, locksmith and life-safety professionals may be required.
What credentials can an access control system use?
Depending on the selected platform, options may include cards, fobs, PINs or mobile credentials. Compatibility, user management and security requirements guide selection.
Can access control connect with security cameras?
Many systems can coordinate door events with nearby video or use common network infrastructure. Available integration depends on the selected access and video platforms.
What happens during a power or network outage?
Behaviour depends on the lock, controller, power supply, backup power and required door function. These conditions must be defined during design and coordinated with applicable egress and life-safety requirements.
