Sometimes. The readers and controllers themselves are low-voltage, but changing door hardware on a fire-rated or exit door, or adding a maglock, can bring in the City of Glendale Building and Safety and the fire inspector, because exits must release on fire alarm and power loss. We design to those rules and pull the permit when it is required. It is a routine part of the job, and we sort it out at the free site survey.

Usually, yes. Most vehicle gates in Glendale apartment garages have a gate operator that accepts a dry-contact input, so we add a reader, a vehicle loop or a phone-based credential without replacing the gate. Pedestrian gates get an electric strike or maglock and a reader. If the old intercom is dead we replace it with a video intercom residents answer on their phones. We check the operator model on the free site survey.

For a suite on Brand Boulevard or a clinic in Montrose with one to five doors, a cloud-managed system with fob and phone credentials is the simplest. You add and remove people from a browser, get a log of every entry and unlock a door remotely for a visitor. There is no server to maintain. Larger buildings with dozens of doors sometimes do better with a local controller. We recommend one after seeing your doors on the free site survey.

Yes for most buildings. Every exterior door, suite door and gate can be on a reader, and lost credentials are deactivated in seconds instead of re-keying. Mechanical keys stay as an emergency override.

Yes. Cloud-managed systems let you add or remove people, set schedules and unlock a door for a delivery from your phone, from anywhere.

Yes. We tie door events to camera views so every badge-in or forced-door alert shows the matching video clip.
