You’re managing a business, a facility, or a property where security can’t be an afterthought. Every door that opens is a decision—and right now, you might not have full control over those decisions.
Access control systems let you grant or revoke access instantly, track who enters and when, and eliminate the chaos of lost keys or unauthorized copies. No more rekeying locks when an employee leaves. No more wondering if a contractor still has access after the job’s done.
For businesses in Village Green-Green Ridge, where property values are high and commercial spaces are growing, the cost of a security incident far outweighs the investment in a proper door access control system. You get real-time visibility, audit trails for compliance, and the ability to scale as your business grows—whether that’s adding new doors, new buildings, or new users.
This isn’t about adding complexity. It’s about removing the vulnerabilities that come with traditional lock-and-key systems.
We’ve been in the locksmith business since the late 1800s. Tom McCausland runs the largest locksmith operation in the Delaware Valley today, with his daughter Chrissy continuing the family tradition.
That kind of longevity doesn’t happen by accident. It happens because families and businesses in Delaware County keep coming back—generation after generation—because the work is done right.
We’re not a national chain with a call center. We’re a local storefront in Prospect Park serving Village Green-Green Ridge and the surrounding area. When you call, you’re talking to people who know this market, understand the security challenges local businesses face, and can be on-site in 20 to 30 minutes when it matters most.
We start with a free walk-through of your property. You show us what doors need control, who needs access, and what your day-to-day looks like. We’re not there to sell you the most expensive system—we’re there to understand what you actually need.
From there, we design a system that fits your building and your budget. That might mean keycard entry at the front door and biometric access for sensitive areas. It might mean a cloud-based system you can manage from your phone, or a hardwired setup that integrates with your existing CCTV and alarm systems.
Once you approve the plan, our technicians handle the installation. We mount the hardware, run the wiring if needed, program the credentials, and test everything before we leave. Then we walk you through how to add users, pull reports, and manage access on your own.
You’re not locked into service contracts or proprietary systems. You own the equipment, and we’re here when you need us—whether that’s adding a door next year or troubleshooting an issue down the road.

Access control isn’t one-size-fits-all. A medical office has different needs than a warehouse. A retail storefront has different needs than a corporate office.
In Village Green-Green Ridge, where the median household income is over $106,000 and nearly 90% of residents own their homes, you’re also seeing more business owners investing in their properties—upgrading security to protect assets, meet insurance requirements, and create safer environments for employees and customers.
We install door entry systems for commercial properties, office buildings, healthcare facilities, schools, retail spaces, and multi-tenant properties. That includes keycard and fob systems, biometric readers, mobile credentials, gate access control systems, and integrated solutions that tie into your surveillance and alarm systems.
Every system we install is scalable. Add more doors, more users, or more buildings without starting from scratch. And because we work with trusted brands like Kwikset, Medeco, and Schlage, you’re getting manufacturer-backed quality and support.
Cost depends on how many doors you’re controlling, what type of credentials you want, and whether you need integration with other security systems. A basic single-door setup with keycard access might start around $1,500 to $2,500 installed. Multi-door systems with advanced features like biometrics or cloud management can range from $3,000 to $10,000 or more.
The real question isn’t just upfront cost—it’s what you’re getting for that investment. A quality system eliminates rekeying costs, reduces security incidents, and gives you control you didn’t have before. For most businesses, the ROI shows up within the first year through reduced locksmith calls, fewer security breaches, and better operational efficiency.
We give you a clear quote after the walk-through. No surprises, no upselling. Just an honest assessment of what your building needs and what it’ll cost to do it right.
Most modern access control systems let you manage everything remotely through a web portal or mobile app. You can add or remove users, change access schedules, lock or unlock doors, and pull entry logs from anywhere with an internet connection.
Cloud-based systems make this especially easy because there’s no server to maintain on-site. Everything’s hosted securely online, and you log in whenever you need to make a change. If an employee leaves, you revoke their access in seconds—no need to collect keys or worry about copies floating around.
Hardwired systems can also offer remote management if they’re connected to your network, though the interface might be less intuitive than cloud platforms. We’ll walk you through both options during the consultation so you understand what fits your comfort level and your budget.
Most access control systems have built-in fail-safes. If power goes out, the locks typically default to a secure state—meaning they stay locked until power is restored. Some systems can be configured to fail open in specific situations, like fire exits, to meet safety codes.
Battery backups are standard on quality systems. The control panel and door hardware stay operational during short outages, and you won’t lose your programming or user data. Cloud-based systems store everything off-site, so even if your internet goes down temporarily, the system keeps working locally.
If something does go wrong—hardware failure, software glitch, or user error—we’re available to troubleshoot and get you back online. That’s part of why working with a local company matters. You’re not waiting on hold with a national call center. You’re calling someone who can be on-site the same day if needed.
A single-door installation can usually be done in a few hours. Multi-door systems take longer depending on the complexity—anywhere from one day to a few days for larger buildings or facilities that need extensive wiring and integration work.
The timeline also depends on whether we’re retrofitting existing doors or working with new construction. Retrofits sometimes require additional hardware or modifications to make everything fit and function properly. New construction is cleaner because we can plan the install from the start.
Once the hardware is in, programming and testing add a bit more time. We don’t rush through that part because it’s where mistakes happen. You’ll get a realistic timeline during the walk-through, and we’ll work around your schedule to minimize disruption to your business.
In most cases, yes. We can retrofit access control hardware onto existing doors and integrate with many types of locks. The specifics depend on your door material, frame type, and current lock setup, but modern access control systems are designed to be adaptable.
Some older doors or specialty locks might need modifications or replacement hardware to work properly. We assess all of that during the walk-through and let you know upfront if anything needs to be upgraded. The goal is to make the system work with what you have whenever possible, rather than forcing you into unnecessary replacements.
If you’re planning renovations or new construction, that’s the ideal time to install access control because we can spec everything from scratch. But even if you’re working with existing infrastructure, we’ll find a solution that fits your building and your budget.
Absolutely. Integration is one of the biggest advantages of modern access control systems. When someone badges in, your cameras can automatically pull up that door’s feed. If someone tries to force entry, the system can trigger your alarm and send you an alert in real time.
This kind of integration gives you a complete picture of what’s happening at your property. You’re not juggling three different systems with three different logins. Everything works together, and you manage it all from one platform.
We install and service CCTV systems, alarm systems, and access control, so we understand how to make everything communicate properly. If you already have security infrastructure in place, we’ll work with what you have. If you’re starting from scratch, we’ll design an integrated system that grows with your needs.
