We install and repair the door side of access control in Centretown for businesses in shared and converted buildings, and for shops, restaurants and bars along Bank Street. Keypads, card and fob readers, electric strikes and maglocks, with a free on-site assessment and a flat-rate quote. For a complete key fob or keycard system with user management, see access control systems in Centretown from our parent company, Can-Lock Security.
Electric strike and reader hardware installed and tested on a commercial entrance.
Many Centretown offices, clinics and studios share an older building with other tenants. Access usually has two layers — the building entrance and your own door — and the system has to work with whatever the building already has. We plan around both.
A shop usually cares most about staff access and loss prevention. A restaurant or café with a larger, changing staff across split shifts benefits from credentials tied to scheduled hours, so access is only active when someone is meant to be working.
Restaurants, bars and venues open into the evening need access that follows their actual shifts, and a record of who came in and when, especially at closing.
Older buildings often have doors and frames that need adjustment before an electric strike or maglock will work reliably. We fix the door so it latches properly, then fit the hardware.
Many Centretown businesses have a second door at the back or side for deliveries, garbage and staff. It is often a steel door that gets heavy use and is sometimes left unlocked by mistake. A keypad or reader on that door, a closer that pulls it shut and a door contact that shows when it has been left open keep the entrance secure without handing out more keys.
The free on-site assessment in Centretown looks at your own shop or suite door and, where it matters, how it works with the building entrance: the door and frame, the closer, the power available and any rules your landlord or property manager has for the building. You get a free, flat-rate quote before any work starts, and the work is covered by a written parts and labour warranty. If a controlled door stops locking or releasing, same-day emergency repair is available; call to confirm the earliest appointment.

Yes. We install it on your own suite door and make sure it works alongside the building’s existing entry system, coordinating with the landlord where needed.
Usually not. Older wood and steel doors can often take an electric strike or electrified lock once the door is adjusted to latch reliably. We check the door, the frame and the power during the free on-site assessment, and tell you if a repair is needed first.
Yes. Staff credentials can be limited to scheduled hours, so a code or card only works when that person is meant to be on shift. When someone leaves, their access is turned off right away, with no rekeying.
Yes. Electric locking on exit doors is wired to release on a fire alarm and on loss of power, with request-to-exit and emergency release devices where they are required, so people can always get out.
