Access Control Installation

Common scenarios
Real situations we get called for — and what they typically cost.
Office with 25 employees + 8 doors
Card-based access control with HR integration. ~$3,000 install + $30-50/month software. Way better than reissuing 25 keys whenever someone leaves.
Self-storage facility
Keypad codes per renter, automatic expiration on missed payments, full activity log. Often pays for itself in security and operational efficiency.
Medical / dental office
Patient areas controlled, drug storage requires manager-level access, after-hours alerts. HIPAA-conscious setup. Custom quote.
