Access Control Systems FAQs

Common questions about our Access Control Systems services

How much does access control system installation cost per door?

Access control installation costs typically range from $2,500 to $5,000 per door in the Delaware County area, depending on the complexity of your system and existing infrastructure. Basic keypad systems start around $500-1,200 per door, while advanced biometric systems can run $4,000-10,000. The final cost depends on factors like the number of access points, integration with existing security systems, electrical upgrades needed, and the type of credentials you choose. We provide transparent pricing with no hidden fees and can design systems that fit your budget while meeting your security needs.

Can access control systems integrate with my existing security cameras and alarms?

Absolutely. Modern access control systems are designed to work seamlessly with video surveillance, intrusion detection, and building management systems. When someone uses their access card, the system can automatically trigger cameras to record, send alerts to security personnel, or even unlock multiple doors in sequence. This integration gives you a complete security picture and eliminates the need to manage multiple separate systems. Our technicians are experienced in connecting access control with virtually any existing security infrastructure, creating one unified platform for all your security needs.

What happens if the access control system loses power or internet connection?

Quality access control systems include backup power supplies and offline functionality to ensure continuous operation during outages. The system stores access credentials locally, so employees can still enter even without internet connectivity. Battery backup typically provides 8-24 hours of operation during power outages, and some systems can operate for days. When power or internet is restored, the system automatically syncs all access events and updates. For critical applications, we can install uninterruptible power supplies or even generator connections to ensure your security never goes down.

How quickly can you revoke access for terminated employees?

With modern access control systems, you can revoke access instantly from anywhere with an internet connection. Whether you’re using a computer, smartphone, or tablet, you can disable an employee’s credentials immediately upon termination. The system updates in real-time across all access points, so there’s no delay or risk of unauthorized entry. This is a huge advantage over traditional keys, which can take days to collect and rekey. You can also set automatic expiration dates for temporary workers or contractors, so access automatically expires without any action needed from you.

What types of credentials work best for commercial access control?

The best credential type depends on your security level needs and employee preferences. Key fobs and proximity cards ($5-10 each) are reliable and cost-effective for most businesses. Mobile credentials using smartphones are increasingly popular since employees always have their phones and can’t easily share access. PIN codes work well for shared areas but aren’t ideal for high-security zones. Biometric systems (fingerprint or facial recognition) provide the highest security but cost more upfront. Many businesses use a combination—mobile credentials for convenience, with biometric backup for sensitive areas. We’ll help you choose the right mix based on your security requirements and budget.

Do you provide ongoing support and maintenance for access control systems?

Yes, we provide comprehensive ongoing support including system monitoring, software updates, hardware maintenance, and emergency service. Regular maintenance ensures your system operates reliably and stays current with security updates. We can remotely diagnose most issues and often resolve them without a site visit. For hardware problems, we maintain inventory of critical components to minimize downtime. Our support plans include user training refreshers, system optimization, and expansion planning as your business grows. As a local Delaware County company with over 100 years of experience, we’re here when you need us—not just during installation, but for the life of your system.
