Hear from Our Customers
You’re not just buying door hardware. You’re getting visibility into every entry and exit across your facility, logged and time-stamped in real time.
When someone loses a card, you deactivate it from your phone. When a contractor needs temporary access, you grant it for exactly three hours on Tuesday morning. When you’re off-site and get an alert that someone entered through the back door at 11 PM, you pull up live video and see exactly what’s happening.
That’s what modern access control does. It removes the guesswork, the liability, and the constant worry about who has keys to what. You get full control without being physically present, and your team gets in and out without friction.
The McCausland family has been in locksmithing since the late 1800s. Tom McCausland and his daughter Chrissy run the largest locksmith operation in the Delaware Valley from our Prospect Park storefront, just minutes from Springfield.
You’re not calling a van with a phone number. You’re working with a physical shop that stocks real inventory, employs trained technicians, and has served Delaware County businesses for over a century. We install, service, and support access control systems for offices, warehouses, healthcare facilities, and multi-building properties throughout the region.
We’ve seen every type of lock, every type of door, and every type of security challenge Springfield businesses face. That experience means faster installs, fewer surprises, and systems that actually work the way you need them to.
First, we walk your facility and talk through what you actually need. Not every door needs a reader. Not every employee needs the same level of access. We design the system around your workflow, your traffic patterns, and your actual security concerns.
Then we handle the wiring, hardware installation, and system configuration. That includes running cables, mounting card readers or biometric scanners, installing electric strikes or magnetic locks, and connecting everything to your control panel. If you want cloud-based management, we set that up so you can access the system from anywhere.
Once it’s live, we test every door, every credential, and every access rule to make sure it works exactly as planned. You’ll get a walkthrough on how to add users, run reports, and manage permissions. If something breaks or you need changes down the road, you call the same people who installed it.

You get a system designed specifically for your building. That means the right type of locks for your door frames, the right readers for your environment, and the right credentials for your team. We work with card-based systems, mobile credentials, biometric scanners, and keypad entry depending on what makes sense for your operation.
Springfield businesses deal with a mix of old construction and newer builds. That affects how we run wiring, what type of strikes we use, and whether we need to retrofit existing hardware or start fresh. We handle all of it, including compliance with fire codes and ADA requirements that apply to access-controlled doors.
You also get integration with your existing security setup if you want it. That could mean tying access control into your video surveillance so you see who entered and when, or connecting it to your alarm system so certain doors trigger alerts after hours. It’s all managed from one interface, and you can monitor it remotely 24/7 from your phone or computer.
For a single door or small office setup, you’re typically looking at $2,500 to $5,000. That covers the controller, reader, electric strike or mag lock, a set of credentials, and professional installation.
The price goes up based on how many doors you’re controlling, what type of credentials you want, and whether you need cloud-based management or integration with cameras and alarms. A five-door system with mobile credentials and remote monitoring might run $8,000 to $12,000. Larger facilities with dozens of access points and advanced features can cost significantly more.
We give you an exact quote after walking your building. That way you know what you’re paying for and why, with no surprises when the invoice comes.
You can absolutely manage it yourself. Modern systems are built for business owners and office managers, not IT departments.
Cloud-based access control is especially easy. You log into a web portal or mobile app, add new users, assign access schedules, and deactivate lost credentials in a few clicks. You get email or text alerts when certain doors are accessed, and you can pull reports anytime you need them.
If you want help with setup or ongoing management, we offer that too. But most of our Springfield clients handle day-to-day changes on their own once they see how straightforward it is.
The system stays operational. Access control panels and locks are equipped with backup batteries that kick in automatically when power goes out.
Depending on the system and battery capacity, you’ll get several hours of runtime, sometimes longer. That’s enough to cover most outages without any interruption to building access. When power comes back, everything switches over seamlessly.
If you’re in a facility where power reliability is a concern, we can spec larger battery backups or integrate with your building’s emergency power system. The goal is to make sure your security doesn’t go dark just because the lights do.
You deactivate their credential immediately from the system. It takes about 30 seconds and you can do it from your phone.
Unlike physical keys, you don’t have to worry about whether they returned it or made a copy. Once you deactivate the card or mobile credential, it stops working across every door in your system. You can also run a report to see the last time they used it and where.
If you’re using mobile credentials stored in digital wallets, the access gets revoked remotely and they can’t use their phone to enter anymore. It’s faster, cleaner, and way more secure than trying to track down keys or rekey locks every time someone leaves.
Yes, and that’s one of the biggest advantages of a professionally installed system. When access control, cameras, and alarms communicate, you get a complete picture of what’s happening at your facility.
For example, when someone badges in through a door, the system can trigger the nearest camera to start recording. If a door is forced open or propped open too long, it sends an alert and pulls up live video so you can see what’s going on. You manage everything from one platform instead of juggling three separate systems.
We handle the integration during installation. That includes making sure your existing equipment is compatible and configuring the software so all your security tools work together the way they should.
It depends on your building layout and what you’re trying to protect. Most businesses start with exterior doors and any interior rooms that store sensitive equipment, inventory, or records.
You don’t need a card reader on every office door or closet. That’s overkill and it slows people down. The goal is to control access at key points where unauthorized entry creates real risk or liability.
During the site assessment, we’ll walk through your facility and recommend which doors make sense to secure based on traffic flow, what’s behind each door, and your budget. You can always add more doors later as your needs change.
