Access Control Systems

Access Control Systems in San Diego, California

San Diego businesses require robust security measures to safeguard their assets, personnel, and data. La Jolla Lock and Safe offers top-tier commercial access control systems designed to provide better security and ease of access management for businesses of all sizes. Based on your needs and budget, we can design a keyless access control system using the types of readers that provide the right mix of security and convenience for you and your employees. In addition to electronic security, our commercial locksmiths work with physical keys and mechanical locks and doors. Our team is your one-stop solution for all services related to the door, the locks, and access control systems.

Here are some of the most common types of access control  we’ve installed and serviced for our commercial clients:

Here’s a keycard/fob reader we installed on a gate door for a local commercial client.

• RFID Fobs and Key Cards: Fobs and key cards are among the most popular choices for businesses that need to manage access to multiple areas within a property. Employees are issued proximity cards or fobs that can be configured to allow entry to specific doors and locations. These systems offer flexibility, as access permissions can be easily updated or revoked. This method is particularly useful in office buildings, warehouses, schools, and other commercial properties where controlled access is essential.
• Keypads & Card Readers: Employees can unlock doors by entering their PIN or passcode into a digital or push-button keypad. We can also install weatherproof keypads on exterior doors.
• Biometric Scanners: Readers that utilize unique physical characteristics such as fingerprints, facial recognition, or voice recognition to grant access provide a very high level of security. The precision and security of biometric systems make them ideal for sensitive areas where unauthorized access must be strictly controlled.
• Mobile Access Control: These readers communicate via Bluetooth or NFC with an app on the user’s smartphone or other mobile device to grant access.

Video Intercom and Door Buzzer Systems for Convenient Two-Way Communication and Improved Security

Integrating a door buzzer system into your access control system can enhance the security and convenience of your commercial property. At La Jolla Lock and Safe, we provide advanced door buzzer systems that streamline access control while maintaining a high level of security. Typically consisting of an intercom (video or audio-only), a door release mechanism, and a control unit, these systems enable centralized entry management. When visitors arrive, they use the intercom to request access, and an authorized person can grant entry by pressing a button on the control unit, which releases the door lock. This setup not only enhances security by preventing unauthorized access but also adds convenience by allowing entry management from a central location, whether from an office, reception desk, or security room.

Integrating door buzzer systems with other access control solutions, such as keyless entry and biometric systems, ensures a seamless and comprehensive security strategy. These systems can be customized to meet the specific needs of your business, from simple buzzers for single entry points to complex systems for multiple access points.

Additional Access Control Services We Provide

• Access Control System Upgrades: Technology continually evolves, and upgrading your existing access control systems can improve security and convenience. We offer upgrade services that enhance your current system with the latest features and technologies. Whether you need to expand your system or integrate new security measures, our upgrade services ensure that your San Diego business stays ahead of potential threats.
• Access Control System Maintenance: Regular maintenance is essential to keep your access control systems functioning effectively. We offer maintenance service agreements that include routine system checks, software updates, and timely repairs. Our maintenance services ensure that your access control systems remain operational and reliable, reducing the risk of security breaches due to system failures.
• Integrated Access Control Solutions: Combining multiple access control methods/readers into a single system can significantly enhance your security infrastructure. Integrated access control solutions provide a centralized platform where various access types, such as keyless, biometric, and card systems, can be managed together. This integration simplifies administration and improves the effectiveness of your security measures by providing a holistic approach to access management.
• Smart Access Systems: Integrating smart technology into your access control systems offers numerous advantages. Smart access systems allow you to manage and monitor entry points through mobile devices, providing real-time notifications and control over access settings. These smart access systems can be integrated with other smart technologies in your business, creating a cohesive and efficient security network that enhances overall protection.
