Building Access Control in Queens, NY
Traditional lock-and-key systems create headaches for property managers. Lost keys require expensive rekeying, you have no record of who entered, and distributing physical keys to dozens of tenants becomes a never-ending logistical problem.
Access control systems replace keys with electronic credentials. Card readers, key fobs, mobile apps, and biometric scanners provide secure entry while giving you complete visibility. If someone loses their credential, you deactivate it in seconds.
Types of Access Control Systems We Install
Types of Access Control Systems We Install
A small office has different security needs than a 200-unit apartment building. We design access control systems that fit your property and requirements.
Card Reader Systems
Card readers remain the most popular choice for commercial access control. Employees or residents carry a proximity card or key fob that communicates with the reader to unlock doors. Lost cards can be deactivated instantly.
We install systems from leading manufacturers supporting multiple credential formats, giving you flexibility to upgrade or integrate with existing cards.
Keyless Entry and Mobile Access
Mobile access control lets users unlock doors from their smartphone instead of carrying a card or fob. This works well for apartment buildings where residents always have their phone.
Keyless entry eliminates tracking physical credentials. Property managers can grant or revoke access remotely and send digital keys to visitors before they arrive.
Biometric Access Control
Biometric systems verify identity through fingerprint scans, facial recognition, or other biological markers. These work well for server rooms, pharmaceutical storage, and spaces requiring strict restrictions.
Each person must physically present themselves to gain entry, creating an audit trail that cannot be disputed.
PIN Code Entry Systems
PIN keypads offer a simple solution for many applications. While less secure than biometric or mobile credentials, they work well as secondary authentication or for lower-security entry points.
We program custom codes with automatic lockout after failed attempts. Temporary codes can be created for contractors or visitors.
Commercial Access Control Solutions
We install hardware from industry-leading manufacturers and stay current on technology to provide reliable systems for Queens commercial properties.
Door Readers and Intercoms
Proximity readers, smart card readers, multi-technology options, and video intercoms. Sleek designs for offices, heavy-duty units for garages and loading docks.
Credentials and Key Fobs
Proximity cards, smart cards, key fobs, and mobile credentials. We configure everything before move-in so new tenants are ready on day one.
Controllers and Control Panels
Control panels process credential reads and make access decisions. We size systems for your current needs with room to expand, plus battery backup for outages.
Wireless and Electronic Locks
Wireless locks work where new wiring isn’t practical. Encrypted communication, long battery life. We also install electric strikes and magnetic locks.
Industries We Serve in Queens, NY
We work with all property types throughout Queens, from offices to apartment buildings to industrial facilities.
Commercial Office Buildings
Managing access across multiple tenants takes planning. We set up elevator controls, suite-level security, and scheduling that adapts to how your building operates.
Apartment Buildings and Condos
Apartment access control balances security with convenience. Intercom integration, video upgrades, package rooms, parking garages, all in one system.
Medical Facilities
Healthcare facilities need HIPAA-compliant access control. We install audit logging, area restrictions, and integration with hospital IT systems.
Schools and Educational Facilities
Visitor management, lockdown capability, classroom access. We help schools stay secure while keeping the environment welcoming.
Retail and Industrial Properties
Back offices, storage rooms, loading docks, truck gates. We secure retail and industrial properties with hardware built for each environment.
Access Control Integration for Queens Properties
Access control works best as part of a connected system. We integrate with video surveillance, alarm systems, building automation, and audio visual systems.
Video Surveillance Integration
Linking access control with CCTV lets every door event trigger camera recording. Live video pops up when someone requests entry, letting staff verify identity before unlocking remotely.
Alarm System Integration
The alarm can arm automatically when the last person leaves and disarm when the first user arrives. Forced door alarms alert security staff immediately.
Visitor Management
Pre-registration, ID scanning, badge printing, and host notification streamline guest entry. Visitors receive temporary credentials that expire after their appointment.
Cloud-Based Remote Management
Modern systems operate through cloud-based software accessible from anywhere.
Real-Time Monitoring and Alerts
Live dashboards show door status across your property. Custom alerts notify you of after-hours attempts, door-held-open conditions, or access by specific users.
User Management and Scheduling
Adding users takes minutes from any device. Set access schedules, group users by department, and apply bulk changes like holiday schedules across your entire system.
Access Reports and Audit Logs
Every credential read generates a record. Run reports showing who accessed which doors for investigating incidents or demonstrating audit compliance.
