Expert Access Control Systems Solutions in South Florida – Same-Day Emergency Dispatch

Price is driven by three things: how many doors or gates you are controlling, the hardware each opening requires (an electric strike in a storefront frame costs far less than a pair of mag locks on a pair of glass doors), and whether new wiring has to be pulled. Because most buildings already have usable door hardware, retrofits are usually far cheaper than property managers expect. We inventory your openings, then give you a written fixed-price quote per door with the equipment listed. Call (954) 414-7078 for a free assessment.

Yes — that is the normal case. Most projects retrofit an electric strike or electric latch into an existing aluminum storefront, hollow-metal, or wood door frame, and interface with the gate operator you already own. We measure the frame, confirm the door's fire rating and impact certification, and use hardware that fits the existing preparation so the finish and rating are preserved. Where a door genuinely cannot accept locking hardware, we tell you and propose the alternative before you commit.

It does when it is specified correctly, and this is where unlicensed installers get buildings written up. Locked egress doors must always release in a single motion from the inside under load, and they must stay within ADA opening-force limits. We install fail-safe release on every egress door, fail-secure hardware only on non-egress openings, and verify release, latch engagement, and opening force on site — so your access control never becomes a fire-marshal or accessibility finding.

We set up user groups by role — tenants, staff, management, vendors, cleaning crews — each with its own doors and time schedules. Adding a user takes seconds, and removing one immediately kills the credential without rekeying a single lock. Every action is logged, so if something happens after hours you can see exactly which credential opened which door and when. We hand over the system with your structure already built and train your property manager or office administrator on it.
