Secure & Manage Your Tampa, FL Commercial Property With an Access Control System

Keeping your business secure is about more than just locks. An access control system lets you control who can enter your building and when, reducing the risks of lost keys, unauthorized entry, and security breaches. Electronic access control provides better security and convenience, whether you need to restrict access to certain employees, track entry logs, or integrate with existing CCTV and alarm systems.

At Locksmith and Doors, we install customized access control systems for all types of commercial properties in Tampa, FL, including office buildings, restaurants, retail locations, schools, banks, medical facilities, and more. We work with trusted brands like Alarm Lock to ensure our customers are fully protected. Our solutions range from keycard and fob-based entry to biometric authentication and cloud-based access, giving business owners complete control over building security.

Types of Access Control System Devices

We installed a high-security keypad lock at a local Tampa-area church that wanted to ensure only authorized individuals could access their property.

Every commercial property has different security needs, so we offer a variety of access control options based on your needs and budget. Keycard and key fob systems are among the most common solutions, allowing employees to scan their credentials at a reader to unlock a door. Digital and push-button keypad locks are also very effective and affordable options for limiting access. Biometric readers like fingerprint, iris, and facial recognition scanners are the most technically advanced options for beefing up your property’s security.

For Tampa businesses looking for a keyless solution, PIN code and keypad entry systems eliminate the need for physical credentials. Cloud-based access control takes security a step further, allowing owners and security teams to manage entry remotely from a secure online dashboard. Mobile access control is another modern option, enabling users to unlock doors with their smartphones rather than carrying keycards. Each system is designed to provide convenience and scalability, allowing businesses to expand security as needed.

How Access Control Systems Work

Traditional keys can be lost, copied, or stolen, creating security risks. Electronic access control replaces physical keys with digital credentials like keycards, fobs, PIN codes, biometrics, or mobile apps. When users present their credentials, the system verifies their identity and grants or denies entry. This technology is widely used in offices, retail stores, warehouses, healthcare facilities, and government buildings. With a professionally installed system, businesses can:

  • Grant or revoke access instantly without needing to change locks.
  • Monitor and log all entry activity, helping with audits and security investigations.
  • Restrict access based on employee roles, ensuring only authorized personnel can enter high-security areas.
  • Integrate with security cameras and alarms for a complete security solution.
