Hear from Our Customers
Lost keys don’t lock you out anymore. Former employees can’t walk back in. You’re not wondering if someone propped open a back door at 2 a.m.
Access control systems let you grant or revoke access instantly, track entry and exit times, and manage multiple locations from one dashboard. If someone leaves your company, you disable their credentials in seconds—no rekeying, no wondering who made copies.
You also get alerts when doors are opened outside business hours, integration with your existing security cameras, and the ability to issue temporary access for contractors or vendors without handing over physical keys. Your building becomes smarter, tighter, and easier to manage.
We’ve been securing businesses across Delaware County for over 140 years. We’re a fourth-generation locksmith company, and we run the largest locksmith operation in the Delaware Valley from our Prospect Park storefront.
We’re not a call center. We’re not subcontractors who show up late or not at all. When you call, you’re talking to people who’ve been in this industry their entire lives—people who know what works, what doesn’t, and what your business actually needs.
Folsom businesses trust us because we show up when we say we will, we use OEM parts that last, and we don’t oversell systems you don’t need. We’ve installed access control systems in office buildings, warehouses, medical facilities, and multi-location operations throughout the region.
We start with a free walk-through of your property. You show us what you’re trying to protect—front doors, back entrances, server rooms, storage areas, whatever matters to your operation. We assess placement for readers, controllers, and how the system integrates with your existing infrastructure.
Then we give you a personalized estimate. No pressure, no upselling. Just a clear breakdown of what the system will cost, what it includes, and how long installation will take.
Once you’re ready, we schedule the install around your business hours. We mount card readers or biometric scanners at entry points, run wiring if needed, install the control panel, and connect everything to your network or cloud platform. You get a full walkthrough of how to add users, set access schedules, and pull reports.
After install, we test every door, every credential, and every alert to make sure the system works exactly how you need it to. And if something goes wrong down the line, we’re available 24/7 for emergency service.
Ready to get started?
You’re getting hardware from manufacturers like Kwikset, Medeco, and Schlage—brands that last. We install card readers, keypad entry systems, biometric scanners, mobile credential systems, and cloud-based platforms that let you manage access from your phone.
For businesses in Folsom and across Delaware County, we’re seeing more demand for mobile credentials. Your employees use Apple Wallet or Google Pay to unlock doors—no cards to lose, no badges to replace. It’s faster, cleaner, and cheaper over time.
We also set up multi-site management for businesses with locations in Philadelphia, Chester County, Montgomery County, or Bucks County. One system, one login, full control over who accesses what at each site. You can customize access schedules, restrict certain doors to certain employees, and get instant alerts if someone tries to enter outside approved hours.
If you’re in a regulated industry—biomedical, pharmaceutical, financial services—we make sure your system meets compliance requirements and integrates with your existing security infrastructure. You’re not just getting locks. You’re getting accountability.
Cloud-based systems store data offsite and let you manage access from anywhere with an internet connection. You log in from your phone or laptop, add users, change permissions, and pull reports in real time. There’s no server room to maintain, no IT overhead, and updates happen automatically.
On-premise systems store everything locally. You need dedicated hardware, a server, and someone who knows how to manage it. Upfront costs are higher, and if your server goes down, you lose access to the system until it’s fixed.
For most businesses in Folsom, cloud-based makes more sense. It’s scalable, easier to manage, and you’re not locked into outdated hardware. If you have strict data security requirements or need everything kept in-house, on-premise might be the better fit. We’ll walk through both options and recommend what works for your situation.
Yes. Most modern access control systems integrate directly with CCTV systems, so when someone badges in, the camera pulls up footage of that entry point. You get a time-stamped record of who entered and what they looked like.
This is especially useful if you’re dealing with disputed access, theft investigations, or compliance audits. Instead of scrubbing through hours of footage, you search by credential use and the system shows you exactly what happened.
We install and service both access control and CCTV systems, so we can set up the integration from the start. If you already have cameras, we’ll make sure the new access system talks to them. If you don’t, we can recommend placement and equipment that works with your access control setup. Everything runs through one platform, and you’re not juggling multiple logins or systems that don’t communicate.
With cloud-based systems, you can add or remove users instantly. Log in, enter their name and credential info, assign which doors they can access, and they’re active. If someone leaves your company or loses their badge, you disable them in seconds.
This is a huge advantage over traditional keys. You’re not calling a locksmith to rekey locks, you’re not wondering who made copies, and you’re not waiting days to secure your building after someone’s terminated.
For businesses with high turnover—retail, warehouses, offices with frequent contractors—this saves time and money. You can also set temporary access for vendors or cleaning crews that automatically expires after a certain date. No follow-up needed.
If you’re running an on-premise system, changes take a little longer because you’re accessing the system locally. But it’s still faster than physical key management, and you have the same level of control over who gets in and when.
Most access control systems have battery backup, so if you lose power, the system keeps running for several hours. Doors stay locked or unlocked based on how you’ve configured fail-safe settings, and credentials still work.
If the system goes offline completely—network outage, hardware failure, whatever—you have a few options depending on your setup. Some systems default to unlocked (fail-safe) so people can exit during emergencies. Others default to locked (fail-secure) to keep the building protected. We help you decide which makes sense based on fire code, your industry, and how your building is used.
Cloud-based systems store everything offsite, so even if your local network drops, the system keeps logs and you can still manage access remotely once you’re back online. For on-premise systems, you’d need local access to make changes until the network is restored.
We also offer 24/7 emergency service. If something breaks, we’re available to get you back up and running fast. You’re not waiting until Monday morning or dealing with a call center in another state.
Yes. Mobile credentials are becoming the standard, especially for office buildings, apartment complexes, and multi-tenant properties. Your employees or tenants add a credential to Apple Wallet or Google Pay, and they tap their phone to unlock doors, turnstiles, elevators, or gates.
There’s no physical card to lose, replace, or deactivate manually. You issue credentials remotely, and if someone loses their phone, you revoke access instantly. It’s faster, more secure, and cheaper than printing and managing plastic badges.
Mobile credentials also support flexible access policies. You can allow entry only during certain hours, restrict access to specific floors or areas, and track who’s coming and going in real time. For businesses in Folsom managing multiple locations or dealing with contractors, this level of control makes a big difference.
We install systems that support mobile credentials, and we’ll walk you through how to issue them, manage them, and troubleshoot if someone’s having trouble with their phone. It’s simpler than it sounds, and most people prefer it once they see how it works.
It depends on how many doors you’re securing, what type of credentials you want, and whether you’re going cloud-based or on-premise. A basic system for a small office with two or three doors might run a few thousand dollars. A larger setup with biometric readers, mobile credentials, and multi-site management will cost more.
We don’t give cookie-cutter quotes because every building is different. During the free walk-through, we assess what you actually need—not what sounds impressive in a brochure. Then we give you a clear, itemized estimate that breaks down hardware, installation, and any ongoing costs like cloud subscription fees.
You’re also investing in what happens after install. Cheaper systems fail more often, use off-brand parts, and leave you dealing with service calls and downtime. We use OEM parts from manufacturers like Medeco, Schlage, and Kwikset because they last longer and integrate better with other security systems.
If budget’s tight, we can phase the install—start with high-priority doors and add more later as your business grows. You’re not locked into one approach, and we’re not trying to oversell you on features you won’t use.
