We install and repair the door side of access control across Kanata, from offices in Kanata North, where high-tech companies are among our customers, to retail plazas and standalone businesses along Hazeldean Road and Terry Fox Drive. Electric strikes, maglocks, exit hardware and automatic operator integration, 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 Kanata from our parent company, Can-Lock Security.

Technology companies often need more than a front-door reader. Labs, testing areas, server rooms and equipment storage usually need their own access level, separate from general staff access, and teams working irregular hours need entry that matches their actual schedules rather than one set of business hours.
We set up access by role and area, so an engineer, a contractor on a short project and the cleaning crew each get exactly the doors they need. Contractor access can be limited to specific doors and dates, then switched off when the project ends.
Not every Kanata call is a tech office. Retail units and service businesses usually need something simpler: a keypad or a small card system on the main and staff entrances, with codes that can be added and removed as staff change.
Most access control problems we are called to in Kanata are at the door, not the software: a strike that buzzes but won’t release, a maglock that has lost holding force, or a closer set so fast the door re-locks before people get through. We install and service the full opening — reader, controller, power supply, strike or maglock, door contact, request-to-exit device and closer — so it releases and re-secures reliably.
We walk the building, map who needs access to which doors and when, recommend a system sized to the business, install the readers or keypads and the electrified hardware at each door, set up credentials and access levels, and test every door before showing your staff how to manage it.
We offer a free on-site assessment: we look at the doors, frames, power and how your entrance is used, then give you a free, flat-rate quote before any work starts. Our work is covered by a written parts and labour warranty, and same-day emergency repair is available when a secured or accessible door stops working.

Often, yes. Companies with labs, testing floors or server rooms usually benefit from separate access levels for those areas and from entry logs that show who came in after hours.
Usually not. Most doors can take an electric strike, maglock or electrified lock as a retrofit, and existing hardware can often be paired with a reader or keypad. We check the door, frame and power during the free on-site assessment before quoting.
Their code, card or fob is turned off right away, with no rekeying. That is often the main reason businesses move from keys to access control.
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.
