Keys have a problem that gets worse every time someone leaves: you cannot get them back. A former employee, a cleaner from two contracts ago, a contractor who needed access for a week. Each one either still has a key or you have paid to rekey the lock. Access control replaces the key with a credential you can switch off from your phone, and gives you a record of who opened which door and when.
We install readers and controllers on the doors you actually need to control, usually working with the door hardware already there. Staff use a fob, a card or the phone in their pocket. The stockroom, the office and the front door can open for different people on different schedules, and the doors keep working to that schedule if the internet goes down.

- Access logs
- A record of who opened what and when, for when you need to reconstruct an evening.
How it works
- Identify the doorsWhich openings need control, who should pass through each, and when.
- Specify the hardwareReaders, locks and controllers chosen for the door — a glass storefront and a fire door are not the same job.
- Install and wireControllers, readers and power, integrated with your existing door hardware where possible.
- Set up and trainCredentials issued, schedules configured, and your manager shown how to add and remove people.

Common questions
What happens when an employee leaves?
You revoke their credential and it stops working immediately. That is the main reason businesses move off keys — a key you cannot get back means rekeying the lock.
Does it work if the internet goes down?
Yes. Controllers hold their configuration locally and doors keep working to schedule. Remote management and new credential changes resume when the connection does.
Can it work with our existing doors?
Usually. Most standard commercial doors can be fitted without replacement. We confirm during the site visit rather than guessing from a photo.
