Access Control
Control access to doors, gates and restricted areas with a system designed around your property, users and day-to-day operations. Uniservices provides access control consulting, design, installation, modernization and service for businesses, industrial facilities, condominium corporations, apartment-building owners and property managers in Edmonton and across Alberta.
Access control gives authorized people the appropriate access at the appropriate times while making credentials and permission changes easier to manage. A properly planned system brings together the controlled openings, door hardware, readers, controllers, credentials, software and supporting cabling required for the property.
Depending on the selected system and project scope, access control may support:
The system design depends on how the property operates, who requires access and what infrastructure is already in place.
Uniservices reviews the property, controlled openings, user requirements and existing infrastructure before defining the system scope. The design considers the practical relationship between readers, controllers, door hardware, credentials, software, power and communications.
For a separately scoped assessment, project requirements or system design, see our Consulting & Design service.
New access control systems and system additions are installed around the approved design and site conditions. Work may include doors, gates, readers, controllers, credentials, supporting cabling and coordination with related building-security systems.
Integration is evaluated project by project. Compatibility with existing equipment is confirmed before it is included in the scope.
An aging system does not always require every component to be replaced at once. Uniservices can assess the existing equipment and infrastructure, identify what remains viable and develop a practical migration or phased-upgrade approach.
For projects centred on an existing or end-of-life system, see System Modernization.
Uniservices provides access control troubleshooting, repair and scheduled maintenance. Service may also be available for systems installed by another company, subject to an initial assessment of the system’s condition, compatibility, programming access and parts or software availability.
Recurring maintenance agreements can be scoped around the property and installed system. Agreement terms, included work and scheduling are defined for each client; no emergency or guaranteed response-time commitment is implied.
Uniservices works on commercial and building-level access control projects for businesses, industrial properties, condominium corporations, apartment-building owners and property managers.
Typical applications may include:
Uniservices does not provide access control systems for individual homes.
Uniservices can assess an access control system installed by another contractor. The first step is to determine its condition, available documentation, programming access, compatibility and the availability of required parts or software.
After the assessment, Uniservices can explain:
Assessment does not guarantee that every existing product can be supported. The recommended next step depends on the system found on site.
Access control often works alongside other building-security systems. Where the equipment and project scope support it, Uniservices can coordinate access control with:
Each system remains separately scoped. Integration is included only after compatibility and project requirements are confirmed.
We review the property, controlled openings, users, operating requirements and project goals.
For existing buildings, we examine the installed equipment and supporting infrastructure that may affect the project.
We identify the proposed system, controlled openings, required work, known limitations and an appropriate implementation or upgrade path.
Approved work is installed and configured, and the included openings and system functions are checked against the project scope.
After completion, Uniservices can provide on-request service or a separately scoped recurring maintenance agreement.
No. Uniservices focuses on commercial and building-level systems for businesses, industrial properties, condominium corporations, apartment-building owners and property managers. We do not provide access control systems for individual homes.
Yes, subject to an initial assessment. Service depends on the system’s condition, compatibility, programming access and the availability of required parts or software.
Sometimes. Existing infrastructure is assessed before reuse is recommended. Components are retained only when their condition, compatibility and role in the proposed system make reuse practical.
Yes. Cards and key fobs can be included where they suit the selected access control system and the property’s operating requirements.
It may be possible when the systems are compatible and the integration has a clear operational purpose. Compatibility and scope are confirmed before integration is proposed.
Yes. Uniservices can provide recurring maintenance agreements as well as on-request service. The agreement scope and scheduling are defined for the property and installed system.
Tell us about the property, the doors or gates involved, the current system if there is one, and what you need to accomplish. Uniservices will review the information and identify the appropriate next step.
Do not include alarm codes, access credentials or other sensitive security information.
