What We Install

Residential Access Control Solutions

From single smart locks to whole-building credential systems — hardware and configuration handled end to end.

Smart Lock Integration

Deadbolt-style smart locks installed and configured. Remote locking, temporary codes for guests or repair workers, and real-time unlock notifications. Works with major platforms.

Apartment Building Entry

Key fob or keypad access at the vestibule or main entrance. Tenants get individual credentials — lose a fob, deactivate it immediately without rekeying the building.

Rental Property Management

Manage tenant access remotely. Deactivate credentials when a lease ends. No locksmith fees, no rekeying between tenants. One system across multiple units or properties.

Co-op & Condo Compliance

We work with building management to ensure installations meet board requirements and don't interfere with existing building systems. Fully licensed, documented, and insured.

Video Intercom Systems

See and speak to visitors before buzzing them in. Wired video intercom with door release — cleaner and more reliable than Wi-Fi doorbell cameras.

Multi-Door Coverage

Front door, rear entry, garage, and basement — all on one system. Unified credential access so one key fob works every door you want it to.

Why Upgrade

Keys vs. Access Control

The problems with traditional keys compound over time — especially in rental properties and multi-unit buildings.

Common Problems with Keys & Locks

  • Rekeying costs hundreds every time a tenant moves out
  • No way to know who entered or when — no audit trail
  • Lost keys create real security vulnerabilities
  • Can't grant or revoke access without being physically present
  • Copies of keys get made without your knowledge

What Access Control Delivers

  • Deactivate any credential remotely — zero rekeying cost
  • Full entry log — every door, every credential, timestamped
  • Lost fob? Disable it in seconds, issue a new one
  • Grant or revoke access from anywhere via phone
  • Digital credentials can't be copied at a hardware store

FAQ

Common Questions About Residential Access Control

Most apartment doors support smart locks, though co-ops and condos may require board approval for vestibule entry systems. For unit doors, smart locks typically don't require building approval. We can advise on what's feasible for your specific building and door type.
A single-door smart lock installation typically runs $400–$900 installed including hardware and configuration. A full apartment building entry system with fob readers and door release runs $1,500–$4,000 depending on the number of units and existing wiring. We quote per job after a site visit.
Yes. Smart locks and fob readers have battery backup. Electric strikes and magnetic locks are fail-safe (door unlocks if power fails) or fail-secure depending on your preference — we configure based on your safety requirements.
Yes. Multi-property management is one of the strongest use cases for access control. Credentials can be managed across properties from a single app, and tenant access can be activated or deactivated instantly regardless of which property you're managing.
For homeowners who want smart lock convenience and a real entry log, yes — especially if you use cleaners, dog walkers, or other service workers regularly. The ability to issue time-limited codes and see exactly when people entered is genuinely useful.

Need Access Control for a Business Instead?

Commercial installs are a different scope — multi-door credential management, HR deactivation workflows, server room access, and audit trails for compliance. We have a dedicated page.
