Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an access control estimate?
Every property is different, so we give you a written estimate after a free on-site assessment. We count doors, look at frames and cabling, and list exactly what is included.
Do I need to replace my doors?
Usually not. We choose hardware to fit the doors you have, such as an electric strike, maglock, electrified lever or wireless lock.
How reliable is access control; will I get locked out?
Controllers have battery backup, and exit doors always let people out. Modern technology means that access control systems are better than ever. Our products are reliable and there is a very low risk of them malfunctioning. Of course, since all products are covered by a warranty, some of which are lifetime, you never need to panic if something goes wrong.
Can I manage it from my phone?
On systems with mobile management, yes. You can add or remove people, set schedules and see the entry log from a computer or phone.
Should I start with commercial or residential access control?
If more than one person manages the doors, or you need reports, start with commercial access control. If it is a house, a rental unit or a condo, start with residential access control. We are happy to look at either during one visit.
Do your access control systems come with a warranty?
Every one of our access control products comes with a warranty. Depending on which product you choose, this warranty could be between one year and a lifetime.
We are also proud to provide all customers with a one-year warranty on our labour so, if there are any issues, you can rest assured that we’ll get them fixed.
