Access control that matches how your office works.
Key card systems that do more than unlock the front door: different access for employees, contractors and visitors, server room and IT closet restrictions, after-hours lockdown, and a full record of who entered which room and when.
Most office buildings run their own lobby system. Your suite system sits behind it, and we confirm how the two meet on the walkthrough.
One front door lock is not an access control system.
A real office system follows how your space is organized: who needs to be where, when, with a record of every entry.
Tiered access levels
Employees, managers, contractors and visitors each get credentials with their own permissions. A contractor can open the main office but not the server room. Simple to set up and easy to change.
Server room and IT closet
The most sensitive rooms in the office get their own tier: IT staff and the people you authorize, nobody else. Every entry is logged with a timestamp.
After-hours lockdown
Outside business hours, only authorized people get in. Nobody has to remember to lock up, because the system does it on schedule.
Audit trails
Every door event is logged: who, which door, what time. Export reports for HR incidents, security reviews or compliance requests. The log lives on your own server or on a cloud platform, your choice.
Visitor management
Temporary credentials for visitors, consultants and contractors that expire on their own. No escorting people through the office and no collecting badges on the way out.
Accessible hardware
Readers mounted at accessible heights on every controlled door, and automatic door operators tied into the access system where a door needs one.
A visitor pass that turns itself off.
Pick a time on Tuesday and see what the consultant's pass opens. The window is set once, when the pass is made.
The consultant is early. The pass exists but does not open anything until 10:00 AM, so reception checks them in on the video intercom or they wait. The early tap is logged.
Inside the window, the pass opens the suite entry. Nobody walks down to fetch them, and the entry is in the log under the pass number.
The pass opens the conference room it was issued for. A tap at the server room is denied and logged, like any credential without that tier.
At 1:00 PM the pass stops working on every door by itself. Nobody has to collect a badge on the way out, and a card they forgot to return opens nothing.
The platform big buildings use, sized for your office.
The same credential platform used in large commercial buildings, sized for a 5-person office or a 200-person headquarters.
IP-based access panels
Network controllersNetwork-connected controllers keep the credential list at the door, so every door decision is made on site and doors keep working if the internet drops.
Card and fob readers
Cards · fobs · phonesSlim proximity readers at each controlled door. Cards, key fobs and mobile credentials all work from the same platform.
Request-to-exit sensors
Free way outMotion sensors on the inside of each door let people walk out without a credential. Leaving never depends on a card.
Electric strikes and mag locks
Matched per doorElectric strikes for suite entry doors, magnetic locks for busy or glass doors. We pick the lock for each door around its use and the building's fire and life safety requirements.
Video intercom at entry
ReceptionA front door intercom lets reception see and verify a visitor before letting them in, on the same access control system.
Access control server
Local or cloudThe audit log, credential management and reports run on a local server with no monthly software fee, or on a cloud platform for remote management. Your choice.
Scoped, designed, installed and handed off.
Every office job follows the same clear process, so there are no surprises and no open-ended installs.
Office walkthrough
We map every door that needs control, work out the access tiers you need, and check which existing door hardware can be reused. You get a written scope before any work starts.
System design
Access levels defined, hardware specified door by door, and a wiring plan drawn up. You approve the design before installation.
Install
Panels wired, hardware mounted and the system programmed, with as little disruption to your staff as we can manage.
Handoff
Every credential issued, your admin trained on adding and removing users, and audit log access confirmed. Fully working before we leave.
Office access control, answered.
Can I restrict access to specific rooms or floors within my office?
Yes. That is a core function of the system, not an add-on. Each door can have its own access tier, and each credential can be allowed or denied at any combination of doors. A typical setup: all employees open the main suite, only IT opens the server room, only managers open the finance area, and contractors get time-limited access to the main space only. You set these rules during setup and can change them any time without a technician visit.
What is an audit trail and when does it actually matter?
An audit trail is a timestamped log of every access event: which credential, which door, what time. It matters in specific moments: a terminated employee says they were not in the building on a certain date, equipment goes missing from the server room, an HR incident needs a record of who was present, or your insurance carrier or a compliance auditor asks for access records. Most businesses never need it until they do, and then the log is the difference between settling the question quickly and having no evidence at all. The log can live on a local server in your office or on a cloud platform, whichever you choose.
Can I remotely unlock a door for a delivery or a late-arriving employee?
Yes. The software has a remote unlock: an authorized admin opens a door from the management interface on any device connected to the office network. If you want remote unlock over the internet, we can set that up too. Either way, a remote unlock is logged just like a card tap, and you no longer need to hand out physical keys for after-hours access.
What happens to access credentials when an employee is terminated?
HR or your office admin logs into the software, finds the employee's credential and turns it off. The card or fob stops working immediately on every door in the system. You do not need the physical card back: even if they keep it, it opens nothing. This is one of the biggest differences from keys. Termination day is handled by HR, with no locksmith and no waiting for a key to come back.
Is this compatible with our existing building access system?
It depends on the building, but in most cases your office system runs independently of the building's lobby system. They are separate layers: people use the building credential to get through the lobby, then your office credential to enter the suite. Some buildings use Wiegand readers that can integrate with tenant systems, and we confirm that on the walkthrough. If integration is not possible, we design around it. Most offices run their suite access on its own without any issue.
Access control for every kind of business.
