Access control
Credentials, controllers, schedules, and event reporting that hold up across staff turnover.
Who we are
Physical security infrastructure for facilities that have to keep working.
Access Tech Security designs, installs, integrates, repairs, and maintains the systems that control access, secure openings, monitor activity, detect intrusion, support emergency workflows, and keep facilities operating. We work with schools, public agencies, commercial facilities, and multi-site organizations across California.
/01Where we come from
Modern security doesn't begin with software. It begins at the opening — the door, the frame, the lock, the closer, the strike, the wiring, the credential, and the people responsible for maintaining it.
A security, locksmithing, and door-hardware legacy serving California facilities since 1969.
Access Tech Security is built on a field-tested security, locksmithing, and door-hardware legacy that has served California facilities since 1969. The failures we see in the field aren't software bugs. They're hardware bugs, cabling bugs, alignment bugs, and documentation bugs — and they have been for decades.
We pair that mechanical depth with modern access-control, video, intrusion, lockdown, intercom, and low-voltage system design — so the systems on top of the door behave the way the door does: reliably, predictably, for years.
/02What we do
Security infrastructure — not isolated devices.
We work the entire stack so the layers stay coordinated, from the opening upward.
Door hardware
Locksets, closers, strikes, panic hardware, and openings coordinated per door.
Locksmithing & key control
Rekeying, master-key systems, and the mechanical layer underneath access control.
Video surveillance
Camera coverage planned by scene, with storage, retention, and review built around real events.
Intrusion detection
Zones, sensors, and alarm-panel workflows tied into the rest of the system, not isolated.
Lockdown & emergency systems
Trigger paths, door behavior, intercom arming, and notification routing — designed together.
Intercom & visitor entry
Call routing, operator workflows, and door-release authority that match facility policy.
Gates & garage access
Vehicle credentialing, intercom-controlled gates, and parking access integrated with site-wide control.
Low-voltage & cabling
Pathway, cable, termination, certification, and labeling — the foundation everything rides on.
System integration
Designed event sharing across access, video, alarms, intercoms, and lockdown on day one.
Service & maintenance
Repairs, drift control, documentation, system health — for the long term, not just install day.
Security consulting
Site assessments, modernization plans, and infrastructure strategy for facilities of every scale.
/03Why we're different
Built around the opening.
Most access-control failures are door failures. Frame condition, hinge wear, closer adjustment, strike alignment, egress behavior, fail-safe vs. fail-secure — those decisions are made at the opening, before the reader is even specified.
Because we grew out of decades of locksmithing and door work, we bring that mechanical layer into every design walk. Doors, hardware, wiring, alarms, access control, and cameras have to work together — and they only do when somebody on the team knows the door as well as they know the software.
/04Integration-first
Security infrastructure, not isolated devices.
The systems that fail most often are the ones installed in pieces — a camera vendor, an alarm vendor, a door vendor, a wiring crew, none of them in the same conversation. We design so access, video, intrusion, intercoms, lockdown, and the cabling under them all share events from day one.

/06Who we serve
Facilities that can't afford a system that doesn't work.
Schools & districts
Campus-scale access, classroom lockdown readiness, visitor entry workflows, multi-building coordination, drill support.
Public agencies
Municipal buildings, civic infrastructure, controlled access, operational continuity, after-hours protocols.
Commercial facilities
Tenant suites, back-of-house, IT rooms, equipment yards — designed around the way the facility actually operates.
Multi-site organizations
Standardized hardware, consistent credentials, central administration, predictable service.
Property managers
Portfolio-wide visibility, vendor coordination, lifecycle service, documentation that survives staff changes.
Contractors & GCs
Trade coordination on new construction and TI work — rough-in, conduit, devices, closeout, training.
/07How we work
Field-based. Documented. Maintained.
Every project we take on follows the same pattern: walk the site, design to the opening, coordinate across trades, install for serviceability, integrate from day one, hand over real documentation — and stay involved for service after handover.
- 01
Walk the site — every door, panel, camera, and gate in scope.
- 02
Design to the opening — hardware picked per door, not per catalog page.
- 03
Coordinate across trades — electrical, IT, construction, life-safety.
- 04
Install for serviceability — pathways, power, labeling, head-end work.
- 05
Integrate on day one — access, video, alarms, intercoms, lockdown.
- 06
Hand over documentation — and update it on every service visit.
/08What to expect
Systems that work the day they're installed — and the year after that.
You can expect honest scoping, designs built around your actual facility, hardware specified for the long-term, real integration between systems, documented installs, trained admins, and a service relationship that doesn't restart from scratch every time. No exaggerated promises, no unsupported guarantees — just the work, done correctly, on openings we walked ourselves.
