Manage every door at your Los Angeles property from one dashboard.
Flexible access-control credentials and permissions for Los Angeles offices and buildings, with a full activity log.
The City of Los Angeles covers a huge range of property types across our service area, from single-family homes to large commercial buildings, each falling under the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) rather than the county Sheriff. That variety is exactly why we design access control door by door, rather than applying one credential type to an entire property.

Access control for Los Angeles buildings
Access control answers a question keys cannot: who went where, and when. For entertainment, healthcare, logistics, hospitality, retail, and manufacturing in Los Angeles, that record is often the reason the system gets installed in the first place, ahead of any concern about lost keys.
The buildings here are largely an enormous range, from century-old brick to new high-rise, across dozens of distinct districts, and LAFD plan check is more demanding than most surrounding jurisdictions, and submittal timelines should be planned for accordingly. That determines how doors get grouped, which credentials make sense, and whether you need scheduled access windows for cleaning crews, vendors, and after-hours staff.
We install cloud-managed systems so you can add or revoke a credential from your phone rather than calling for a service visit. Door-forced and door-held-open alerts, complete entry history, and temporary visitor codes come standard. For properties with existing readers, we can often retrofit onto the current hardware instead of replacing every door.
On life safety, access control has to release correctly under fire alarm and emergency conditions. That is not optional, and it is the part we see done incorrectly most often on systems installed by low-voltage contractors without a fire alarm background. Given the widest range of building age and construction type in the region, we confirm the interconnection during design rather than discovering the problem at inspection.
What happens if an employee loses their badge in Los Angeles?
With cloud-based access control, we can deactivate a lost badge remotely within minutes and issue a new credential, without needing to rekey locks or change a shared code.
Can I see who entered and exited our Los Angeles building after hours?
Yes, every credential use is logged with a timestamp, so you can review exactly who accessed which door and when, directly from the dashboard.
Can you retrofit access control onto existing doors in Los Angeles?
In most cases yes. We frequently retrofit cloud-managed readers onto existing door hardware rather than replacing every opening, which keeps the project cost down considerably.
What happens to the doors during a power outage or fire alarm in Los Angeles?
Access control has to release correctly under alarm and emergency conditions, and that is code, not preference. We confirm the fire alarm interconnection during design and test it at inspection. It is the single most common thing we find done wrong on systems installed by contractors without a fire alarm background.
