Find the Right System
Which Keyless Entry Fits Your Business?
The right system depends on how many doors you control, how many people need in and whether you need to know who opened the door. Answer three questions to see where we would start.
Oakland Properties
Where Oakland Businesses Use Keyless Entry
Keyless entry is not only for large offices. Most of our access control work in Oakland is one to a few doors where keys had become hard to keep track of.
Offices and Shared Suites
Downtown and Uptown offices where staff come and go. Codes or fobs replace keys, and a departing employee is removed in minutes.
Shops and Restaurants
Back doors and staff entrances used by shifts. A keypad means no more keys passed between managers at closing time.
Warehouses and Workshops
Roll-up and personnel doors in West Oakland and near the port, where several people need access at different hours.
Apartment and Building Entries
Lobby doors, gates and common rooms in multi-unit buildings. Property managers stop cutting keys for every new tenant.
We Start With the Door
Access control works best on a door that already closes and latches properly, so we check the door and frame first. For mechanical lock work on the same doors, see our commercial locksmith service.
How It Works
From Assessment to Working Codes
An access control job goes wrong when the hardware does not suit the door. We look at the door first, then recommend the system, then install and set it up with you.
1. Tell Us About the Doors
How many doors, what type, how many people need access and whether you need an entry log. Photos of the door edge and frame help.
2. On-Site Assessment
We check the door, frame, existing lock and power options, then recommend the simplest system that does the job and confirm the price.
3. Installation
We fit the keypad, reader, smart lock or electric strike and make sure the door still latches and opens from the inside as it should.
4. Set Up Users With You
We program the first codes or fobs and show you how to add and remove users, so you are not dependent on us for every change.
Keep a Mechanical Key Override
Batteries die and power fails. Every keyless lock we install keeps a key override or a safe fallback, and exit doors stay free to open from the inside.
Access Control FAQ
Access Control FAQ
What Oakland business owners and property managers ask most about keyless entry.
Can you add a keypad to my existing door in Oakland?
In most cases, yes. Many keypad and smart locks fit the existing deadbolt or lock preparation. We check the door first and tell you if it needs any changes.
What happens when an employee leaves?
With individual codes, cards or fobs, you delete that person’s credential. Nothing else changes and no locks need to be rekeyed.
What if the batteries die or the power goes out?
We install systems with a mechanical key override or a fail-safe setup suited to the door, and exit doors always open from the inside.
Card reader or keypad: which is better?
Keypads are simpler and cheaper for small teams. Cards and fobs are better when you need an entry log or have many users, since a lost fob is simply disabled.
Do you install systems for several doors?
Yes. For larger networked systems we assess every door on site and tell you up front if part of the wiring calls for a low-voltage contractor.
How much does access control cost?
It depends on the number of doors, the type of system and the condition of each door. We confirm the price after the on-site assessment, before any installation.
Still Not Sure What Your Doors Need?
You do not need to diagnose the problem yourself. Tell us about the doors and how many people need access. You can request service here .
