What we do on an access-control door
Locks, electric strikes, magnetic locks, readers, keypads, request-to-exit, and the mechanical side of the door — latch, closer, strike alignment, and a legal way out.
Programming and setup of the system that is there, or the hardware we are installing. A reader that works on a door that does not latch is not a finished job.
What we do not do
We do not pull, fish, or terminate the actual wiring. If the door already has wire in place, we work with that. If it does not, the wire needs to be run before or beside our visit — not by us posing as the electrician.
Tied to the lock, not a separate company
Access control still has to latch, unlock for exit, and survive a lockout. If the strike is dead and nobody can get in, that is a locksmith call first — see commercial lockouts.
On the call: how many doors, interior or exterior, whether there is already a keypad, fob, or card reader, and a photo of the door and the control.
Questions people actually ask
Can you add a keypad to a shop door?
Often, if the door and lock prep allow it. Send a photo. If the keypad needs new wire that is not there, the wiring is not our part of the job.
Do you take over an existing access-control system?
Yes, on the hardware and programming side. We do not rewire the building.
Will you run the low-voltage wire?
No. Access-control hardware, locks, and programming — not the wires.
