Secure Your Business with Professional Access Control Systems

Access control systems give you complete command over who enters your building and when. Whether you manage a small office or a large commercial facility, electronic access control provides security that traditional locks simply cannot match—with the ability to change access permissions at any time, maintain detailed entry logs, and manage your facility remotely from anywhere.

At Quick Locksmith LLC, we provide comprehensive access control solutions throughout Atlanta, GA. From keycard systems in Buckhead offices to biometric entry in Midtown warehouses, we design, install, and maintain access control that protects your business around the clock.

What Are Access Control Systems?

Access control systems are electronic security solutions that restrict and monitor who can enter specific areas of your building. Unlike traditional lock-and-key systems, access control allows you to grant or revoke access permissions within minutes, track entry and exit times with precise timestamps, and maintain complete control over your facility’s security without the need for physical key management.

Modern access control technology integrates seamlessly with your existing security infrastructure, including surveillance cameras, alarm systems, and building management platforms. This integration creates a comprehensive security ecosystem that provides real-time visibility into who is accessing your property and when, helping you identify security breaches, track employee movement patterns, and ensure compliance with industry regulations.

Our Access Control Services in Atlanta

Access Control System Installation

Keycard/Proximity Card Systems
Reliable card-based entry systems designed for offices, warehouses, and retail environments. Our keycard installations use encrypted proximity technology that allows authorized personnel to gain entry with a simple card tap. These systems eliminate the security vulnerabilities associated with traditional keys that can be copied or lost. We configure each system with multiple access levels, allowing you to assign different permissions based on employee roles, departments, or security clearance requirements.

Biometric Entry Systems
Advanced fingerprint and facial recognition technology that provides the highest level of security verification. Biometric systems eliminate the possibility of credential sharing or unauthorized access through stolen cards or codes. Our installations include fingerprint scanners with liveness detection to prevent spoofing attempts, and facial recognition systems with infrared capabilities for reliable identification in various lighting conditions. These systems are ideal for high-security areas such as server rooms, pharmaceutical storage, research laboratories, and executive suites.

Keypad/PIN Code Systems
Simple numeric code entry solutions that offer convenience and security without requiring physical credentials. Our keypad installations feature weatherproof construction suitable for exterior applications, backlit keys for visibility in low-light conditions, and the ability to program temporary access codes for contractors, vendors, or visiting personnel. PIN code systems can be configured to require code changes at regular intervals and can log all entry attempts for audit purposes.

Mobile Access Control
Smartphone-based entry using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) or Near Field Communication (NFC) technology. Mobile access eliminates the need for physical cards or fobs, allowing employees to use their smartphones as secure credentials. Our mobile access implementations include encrypted communication protocols, automatic credential expiration for terminated employees, and remote credential management through cloud-based platforms. Users can unlock doors with a simple tap or even utilize hands-free entry when approaching authorized access points.

Multi-Factor Authentication
Combined credential systems that require two or more forms of verification for maximum security. Multi-factor installations might combine keycard entry with PIN codes, biometric verification with mobile credentials, or any combination that meets your security requirements. This layered approach dramatically reduces the risk of unauthorized access while maintaining operational efficiency for authorized personnel.

Integrated Solutions
Comprehensive security platforms that connect access control with existing security cameras, alarm systems, and building automation. Our integration services link your access control to video surveillance systems for visual verification of entry events, connect with intrusion detection systems to automatically arm/disarm alarms based on access activity, and interface with building management systems to control HVAC, lighting, and other environmental controls based on occupancy.

Access Control Repair & Maintenance

Emergency Access Control Troubleshooting
Diagnostic services for system failures, lockouts, or malfunctioning components. Our technicians arrive equipped with diagnostic tools and replacement parts to identify and resolve issues including controller failures, network connectivity problems, credential reader malfunctions, and software errors that prevent proper system operation.

Reader Replacement and Repair
Professional service for damaged or malfunctioning credential readers. We repair or replace card readers with damaged antennas, keypads with worn buttons, biometric scanners with scratched glass or faulty sensors, and mobile readers with connectivity issues. All replacement readers are programmed to match your existing system configuration.

Control Panel Diagnostics and Updates
Comprehensive evaluation and maintenance of access control panels. Our technicians perform firmware updates to ensure compatibility with the latest security protocols, replace backup batteries that maintain system operation during power outages, verify network connections and communication pathways, and optimize controller settings for reliable performance.

Door Strike and Magnetic Lock Repair
Expert repair and replacement of electric strike installation and repair components that physically secure your doors. We service electric strikes that fail to release or engage properly, magnetic locks (maglocks) that lose holding force, and electrified mortise locks that integrate with access control systems. Our repairs restore proper door security while maintaining compliance with fire codes and ADA requirements.

Software Updates and System Upgrades
Regular maintenance to keep your access control system current with the latest features and security patches. We perform software updates that add new functionality, upgrade database capacity for growing businesses, migrate systems to more robust platforms when needed, and ensure compatibility with new credential technologies as they become available.

Wiring and Connectivity Issues
Professional resolution of communication problems between system components. Our technicians troubleshoot network communication failures, repair damaged wiring between readers and controllers, resolve power delivery issues that cause intermittent operation, and optimize wireless connectivity for cloud-based systems.

Power Supply Replacement
Installation of new power supplies and battery backup systems. We replace aging power supplies before they fail, upgrade to higher-capacity units when adding access points, install battery backup systems that maintain security during power outages, and implement surge protection to prevent damage from electrical anomalies.

System Management Services

User Credential Programming
Complete management of employee access credentials. We program new cards or fobs for new hires, deactivate credentials for terminated employees within minutes of notification, issue temporary credentials for contractors with automatic expiration dates, and maintain detailed records of all credential assignments for security audits.

Access Level Configuration
Strategic design of permission structures that align with your organizational hierarchy. Our access level planning includes creating role-based access groups that automatically assign appropriate permissions, establishing time-based restrictions that limit entry to business hours, configuring holiday schedules that adjust access automatically, and setting up anti-passback rules that prevent credential sharing.

Audit Trail Reporting
Detailed documentation of all access events for compliance and investigation purposes. We configure automated reports that track entry and exit times for specific employees or groups, identify unusual access patterns that might indicate security concerns, generate compliance documentation for regulatory requirements, and provide forensic data for incident investigations.

Remote Access Management
Cloud-based control that allows you to manage security from anywhere. Our remote management implementations enable you to grant emergency access during off-hours without visiting the facility, monitor access events in real-time from any device, receive instant alerts for security violations or system failures, and manage multiple locations from a single unified platform.

Integration with Building Management Systems
Seamless connection between access control and other facility systems. We coordinate access control with time and attendance tracking to eliminate redundant badge swipes, integrate with visitor management systems for seamless guest entry, connect with elevator controls to restrict floor access based on credentials, and link with building automation for energy-efficient lighting and HVAC control.

Scheduled Maintenance Programs
Proactive service plans that prevent system failures before they occur. Our maintenance programs include quarterly inspections of all system components, preventive replacement of components nearing end-of-life, priority service response for enrolled clients, and documentation of all maintenance activities for facility records.

Why Choose Access Control Over Traditional Locks?

Enhanced Security

Instant Access Revocation
Terminate access privileges within seconds when employees leave or security concerns arise. Unlike traditional lock change procedures that require physical rekeying, electronic access control allows you to deactivate credentials remotely, eliminating the window of vulnerability between employee departure and lock replacement.

Comprehensive Entry Tracking
Monitor who enters and exits your building with timestamped records that create a complete audit trail. Access logs provide valuable intelligence for security investigations, help verify employee attendance, and demonstrate compliance with regulations requiring documented facility access.

Area-Specific Restrictions
Control access to sensitive areas like server rooms, pharmaceutical storage, financial records, and executive offices. Zone-based access control ensures that employees can only enter areas appropriate to their role, protecting confidential information and valuable assets from unauthorized viewing or theft.

Eliminate Key Duplication Risks
Remove the security vulnerabilities created when keys are lost, stolen, or copied without authorization. Electronic credentials cannot be duplicated at hardware stores, and lost credentials are simply deactivated rather than requiring expensive rekeying services.

Operational Efficiency

Eliminate Rekeying Costs
Save thousands in lock replacement expenses when employees leave or keys go missing. Access control systems allow you to maintain the same physical hardware indefinitely while electronically managing who has access, eliminating the need for emergency rekeying of multiple doors.

Temporary Access Capabilities
Grant time-limited access to contractors, maintenance personnel, or temporary employees without compromising long-term security. Temporary credentials automatically expire after a specified date or time, eliminating the need to collect physical keys or worry about unauthorized future access.

Multi-Location Management
Control security across multiple buildings, cities, or even states from a single management platform. Cloud-based access control allows corporate security teams to maintain consistent policies across all locations, respond to incidents anywhere in the organization, and generate consolidated reports for enterprise-wide visibility.

Time and Attendance Integration
Eliminate redundant time clock systems by using access control credentials to track employee hours. Integrated systems capture clock-in and clock-out times automatically as employees enter and exit, reducing payroll processing time and preventing time theft through buddy punching.

Cost Savings

Reduced Lock Replacement
Extend the operational life of door hardware by eliminating the wear and tear caused by frequent rekeying. Electronic access control components last significantly longer than mechanical lock cylinders that require periodic replacement.

Lower Insurance Premiums
Many commercial insurance providers offer premium reductions for businesses with electronic access control systems. Advanced security measures demonstrate risk mitigation, potentially saving hundreds or thousands in annual insurance costs.

Theft and Loss Prevention
Reduce inventory shrinkage and asset loss through controlled access to storage areas, stockrooms, and valuable equipment. Access logs help identify when and where theft occurs, deterring internal theft and providing evidence for investigations.

Eliminate Master Key Systems
Remove the security weaknesses inherent in master key systems where a single compromised key grants access to multiple areas. Electronic access control provides hierarchical permissions without the vulnerabilities of mechanical master keying.
