Light access work: a handful of doors, a gate, a shop, an office suite — not high-rise turnstiles or campus-wide badge programs. We specify readers, lock types, request-to-exit, maglocks vs. strikes, and the power supply that keeps fire code and the door schedule aligned.
Install of access hardware is offered only when the scope matches current capacity. Many clients take the design to their locksmith or electrician. That is an intended path, not a failure of the engagement.
Door by door
Each opening gets a hardware set, a power note, and a fail-safe / fail-secure call. No generic ‘card access’ line item.
Power and life safety
Lock power, fire-alarm interface, and battery backup called out so the electrician is not inventing it on site.
Head-end that stays small
Controllers and software sized to the door count you have, with a realistic path to add a few more — not a platform for a thousand readers.
What you leave with
- Door hardware schedule
- Reader and lock power notes
- Head-end and software recommendation
- Install vs. design-only split, in writing
Access control installation is case-by-case. Design work is the default engagement.
