Access Control Systems
Control Access and Protect your Memphis Property
Access control systems help you manage who can enter your property, when, and what areas they can access. At The Lock Doc, we install access control that works for offices, medical clinics, retail spaces, warehouses, and multi-tenant buildings across Memphis and the Mid-South. Our mobile team installs, configures, and supports both standalone and integrated systems. We bring everything needed to your location, allowing most installations to be completed on-site. We also provide smart lock integration, camera and intercom pairing, and credential-based access solutions to meet a wide range of security needs.
Why Access Control Is Important
Some recent access control devices we installed for local commercial clients: a dormakaba ONE terminal (top) and a keyapd lock for the Oakland Police Department (bottom).
Effective access control is essential for any organization that needs to protect employees, property, equipment, or sensitive information. By replacing traditional locks with electronic systems, you gain detailed oversight over who can enter specific doors and when. This level of access management helps prevent unauthorized entry, protects restricted areas, and supports compliance with safety and privacy requirements.
For businesses of all sizes, having a system that tracks and controls physical entry is no longer a luxury—it’s a best practice. That’s why investing in the best access control solution is essential for maintaining a secure, efficient workplace.
What Types of Access Control Hardware We Install and How It Works
We offer scalable systems designed to work for both small and large properties. Whether you need to manage one door or several entry points, we install:
- Digital and push-button keypad locks for indoor and outdoor use
- Keypad readers, card and fob systems, and biometric access
- Cloud-based platforms and mobile access credentials
- Smart locks and compatible electronic door hardware
- Intercoms and camera integration for visual verification
- ADA and fire-compliant locking and door-closing systems
These access control systems allow you to add or remove users, create access schedules, and track entries—whether you’re on-site or off. Cloud-based platforms also support mobile control, letting you unlock doors, adjust permissions, or review entry logs from your phone. This gives managers more flexibility and reduces the need for physical key changes when employees or tenants move on.
Solid Access Control Relies on Solid Doors and Hardware
Access control systems only work if the doors they manage are tamper-proof, properly aligned, and properly secured. At The Lock Doc, we install and inspect locking hardware that meets ADA guidelines, fire safety requirements, and modern access control standards. This includes adjusting or replacing strike plates, continuous hinges, door closers, and thresholds to ensure each entry point operates safely under everyday and emergency use.
Our technicians are well-versed in the installation and repair of commercial-grade hollow-core and metal doors. Before beginning any access control job we will verify that every door is in good working condition and will function with your new access control readers, integrate with your access control software, and align with local building safety codes. Whether you operate a retail store, school, or office, we ensure your system supports reliable entry and enhanced security across your entire facility.
Access Control for Shared and Multi-User Properties
Businesses that operate from shared buildings or multi-tenant facilities benefit from based access control solutions that allow flexible, secure entry management. We configure systems for property managers, commercial landlords, and business owners who need to grant or limit access across different users, departments, or organizations without changing locks. This setup is ideal for strip malls, coworking offices, healthcare complexes, and warehouses.
Each unit or tenant receives their own access credentials, such as cards, fobs, or mobile credentials, while ownership or management retains master-level access through the centralized control panel. This structure supports individualized access rights, eliminates the need to replace mechanical keys, and makes adding or removing users as simple as updating a cloud-based access control list. We help prevent unauthorized access to restricted areas while maintaining situational awareness and compliance across all access points.

Access Control FAQs
What is an access control system?
An access control system is an electronic security solution that controls who can access specific doors, rooms, or restricted areas using access control credentials such as cards, fobs, biometric readers, or mobile apps. These control systems help businesses replace mechanical keys and improve oversight over user access rights.
Can I manage my access control system remotely?
Yes. Many cloud-based systems allow you to manage access rights, issue or revoke credentials, and view entry logs from a phone or computer. With mobile access control software, system administrators can make real-time changes without needing to be on-site.
Do you install access control for shared or multi-tenant spaces?
Absolutely. We design and install electronic access control systems for shared facilities like office buildings, medical clinics, and commercial suites. These systems let you manage multiple users through one control panel, while giving each tenant or department unique credentials and access levels.
What if someone loses a key card, fob, or mobile credential?
We can immediately disable the lost access control credentials in the system and issue a new one without replacing hardware. This prevents unauthorized access and reduces the risk and cost associated with mechanical key replacement.
Can access control systems integrate with other security systems?
Yes. We install systems that work with video surveillance, intercom devices, and alarm systems to create complete security solutions. These integrations provide better situational awareness and help protect sensitive data and property by combining access logs with visual confirmation.
Will my doors and hardware meet code requirements?
Yes. We install locking hardware and controlled doors that meet ADA and fire safety standards. Our team ensures every entry point is adequately secured and compliant, using parts from leading manufacturers known for reliability and durability.
How long does it take to install an access control system?
Most standard access control installations are completed in a single day. Larger setups involving multiple doors, cloud-based systems, or integrated components may take longer. We always provide a full timeline and work plan before installation begins.
