Professional Installation for Every Entry Point

Commercial Access Control Installation

Upgrading from keys or an outdated system shouldn’t mean disrupting how your business runs. As a Canadian-owned commercial security systems company with over 34 years of experience, Austin Security provides professional commercial access control installation for the access control systems we design for Edmonton and Alberta businesses. Our technicians handle everything from access control panels and door hardware to seamless integration with your existing access control system, so your overall security system goes live with minimal downtime.

Replacing Keys, Fobs, or an Outdated Access Control System?

Traditional keys and worn-out access control panels create real security gaps: lost keys can’t be revoked, key fobs get shared informally, and an aging system may not integrate with other security systems on your property. Whether you’re installing access control for the first time or replacing an existing system, Austin Security designs and installs commercial access control that fits your entry points, your building, and your day-to-day operations, without tearing apart existing door frames or existing doors to make it work.

Custom-Fit Installation for Every Door

Our technicians assess your entry points on site before installation begins, working with your existing door hardware and door frames wherever possible to minimize cost and disruption. From single-door offices to multi-location facilities, our access control installation is planned around your building, not a one-size-fits-all kit.

Access Control Panels & Credential Options

We install access control panels paired with the credential type that fits your business: key cards, key fobs, mobile credentials, smart locks, or biometric access such as biometric scanners and facial recognition. Many clients choose a mix, for example, key cards for general staff and biometric access for server rooms or other restricted areas.

Seamless Integration With Your Existing System

If you already have an access control system, cameras, or other security systems in place, our team will assess what can be reused. In most cases, we can integrate with your existing access control system and existing doors rather than requiring a complete system replacement, tying everything into one overall security system alongside security cameras and alarm monitoring.

Cloud-Based & Remote Access Management

Once installed, your access control solutions are managed through cloud-based access control software, giving you remote access and remote management from any device. Manage access across multiple locations, grant access to new employees, and monitor entry activity without needing to be on site.

Role-Based, Temporary & Fail-Secure Access

Configure access levels by role, department, or shift with role-based access control, and grant temporary access to visitors or contractors that expires automatically. Our installations are also built with fail-secure hardware in mind, so critical doors behave predictably during a power or internet outage rather than leaving your building exposed or your team locked out.

Reliable Protection During a Power or Internet Outage

Physical security shouldn’t disappear the moment the power flickers. During installation, we configure your access control panels and locking hardware to fail-secure or fail-safe based on your security priorities and local fire code requirements, so a power or internet outage doesn’t compromise entry points that need to stay controlled, or trap staff inside doors that need to stay accessible.

Tailored Solutions, Backed by Ongoing Support

No two buildings have the same entry points, tenants, or security needs, which is why every access control installation starts with a free consultation rather than a standard package. Once your system is live, our Edmonton-based help desk provides ongoing support for network setup, management software questions, and day-to-day access changes, the same team that installed your system is who you’ll talk to for support.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can commercial access control installation work with my existing system?

In most cases, yes. Our technicians assess your existing access control system, panels, and door hardware on site to determine what can be reused before recommending a full replacement.

What happens to my doors during a power or internet outage?

Doors are configured to fail-secure or fail-safe depending on the door, local fire code, and your security priorities, so critical entry points stay protected and required exits remain accessible.

Can I grant temporary access to a contractor or visitor?

Yes. You can grant temporary access that automatically expires, without needing to issue or later collect a physical key card or fob.

Do you support biometric access or facial recognition?

Yes, biometric scanners and facial recognition are available as credential options for higher-security areas such as server rooms or restricted areas.

How long does installation take on site?

Timelines vary by building size and number of entry points, but most commercial access control installations are completed within a few hours to a couple of days, with minimal disruption to your operations.
