Services
Access Control
Our access control solutions provide customizable security for commercial properties. We install and maintain keypad systems, card access systems, and biometric devices that integrate with existing infrastructure. These systems allow property managers to control entry points, monitor access activity, and manage multiple locations remotely through networked systems.
High Security Locks
We offer UL-listed, drill-resistant high-security locks from trusted manufacturers like Mul-T Lock, Medeco, and Schlage. Our solutions include pick-proof cylinders and key control systems that prevent unauthorized duplication. These locks integrate with master key systems while maintaining superior physical security for commercial properties.
Biometric Identity Management
Our biometric systems use fingerprint, facial recognition, and other unique identifiers for secure access control. These solutions integrate with existing security infrastructure to provide advanced authentication methods. We implement systems that combine biometric readers with traditional access control for layered security approaches in high-security environments.
Master Key Systems
We design CPU-generated master key systems that balance security with convenience. Our solutions allow property managers to control access levels across multiple areas while minimizing key quantities. Systems include cross-keying capabilities, hierarchical access levels, and patented key designs that prevent unauthorized duplication.
Closed Circuit TV
Our CCTV solutions include HD cameras, IP systems, and digital recording devices for comprehensive property monitoring. We install systems that support remote viewing via smartphones and computers, with options for new installations or upgrades to existing analog systems. Our solutions cover security monitoring, theft prevention, and transaction verification.
