Card and fob access lets you issue and cancel credentials instead of cutting and collecting keys, and many systems record who entered and when. We install and service the door side of card access: readers, electric strikes or locks, exit devices and door position switches, and coordinate with your system provider where one is already in place.
When to call us
- Staff turnover means constant rekeying.
- You need a record of who entered a room.
- A lost key would compromise the whole office.
- An existing card door no longer releases.
How the job works
- We survey the doors, users and existing wiring.
- We recommend standalone or networked access control.
- Door hardware and readers are installed, with power and exit devices.
- Credentials are set up with you or your provider.
- Every door is tested for entry, exit and fail-safe or fail-secure behaviour.
What a card access installation includes
A working card-access door needs more than a reader. It needs an electrified strike or lock that suits the door and its fire and exit requirements, a power supply sized for the hardware, a request-to-exit device so people can leave freely, and often a door position switch so the system knows whether the door is actually closed.
Getting those pieces right is what separates a card door that works every day from one that frustrates staff. We handle the door hardware and coordinate with your chosen access-control provider on readers, panels and software.
What affects the price
The dispatcher explains the service call before anyone is sent, and the technician confirms the total with you before starting any work that adds cost. The main price drivers are:
- Number of doors and readers.
- Standalone versus networked or cloud system.
- Wiring and power availability.
- Door and frame type.
Hardware we see in Toronto

Card & Fob Access in Toronto: local context
Offices in downtown towers and suburban business parks often have building access controlled by the landlord and suite access controlled by the tenant. We work on the tenant side and coordinate with building management.
Where customers ask us for this
What we will and won't do
Changes to egress doors must meet fire and building code; we will not install hardware that prevents safe exit.
Frequently asked questions
Is card access worth it for a small office?
If you have frequent staff changes or sensitive rooms, usually yes. It avoids repeated rekeying.
Can you add card access to one door?
Yes. Many small offices start with the main entrance or a records room.
Who manages the credentials?
You or your provider, depending on the system. We set it up and show you how.
