Life-Safety & Compliance

Exit must be simple and predictable. We configure hardware so egress is single-motion where required and free at all times, with proper Request-to-Exit, door status contacts and fire panel release where applicable. Fire-rated openings receive listed components and appropriate power supplies. We can coordinate with your AHJ (fire marshal/building inspector) and document the install.

We Ensure:

Free, single-motion egress where required
Fail-safe vs. fail-secure chosen by door use and code
REX sensors or egress bars so doors open on approach
Fire panel integration for automatic unlock/release
Clear signage & audible indicators where needed

Integrations & Upgrades

Mobile credentials via smartphone (BLE/NFC)
Audit trails & reports for HR and compliance
Schedules (business hours, holidays, temporary codes)
Alarm contacts and monitoring tie-ins
ELR exit devices paired with access systems
Intercom & video (door release with call-down) — see Intercom Systems

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Maglock or electric strike—how do I choose?

Strikes work with your existing latch and are common on storefront and hollow-metal doors. Maglocks provide strong holding force and are useful where locks are minimal. We recommend based on door type, code and budget.

What happens during a power outage?

Fail-safe devices unlock; fail-secure stay locked but allow free egress. We select hardware based on door use and safety requirements, with battery-backups where appropriate.

Can I manage users from my phone?

Yes. Cloud-managed systems let you add users, set schedules and view logs from a browser or mobile app.

Do you integrate with fire alarms?

Yes. Where required, we connect power supplies to the fire panel so doors release during an alarm.

What are your hours?

Phones are answered 8 AM to 12 AM daily. We schedule daytime and evening installation windows.
