Access Control

Commercial Access Control With Cloud-Based Management

Keys get lost, copied, and never returned. Access control systems replace traditional locks with keycard, fob, or mobile credentials you manage from a browser or app. SADOS designs, installs, and supports systems for your business.

How It Works

How Access Control Systems Work

Every commercial access control installation starts with a site walkthrough, not a product catalog. We assess every entry point, interior door, parking area, and mechanical room to understand traffic flow and security priorities. Cloud-based management lets administrators lock and unlock doors, set recurring schedules, pull access logs, and issue or revoke credentials from any device.

Who Uses Access Control

Medical offices securing patient records and medication storage areas. Law firms protecting client meeting rooms and file areas. Warehouses controlling loading dock access and inventory zones. SADOS designs commercial access control systems around how your specific facility operates and how your team moves through it, not from a generic product catalog.

Features

What SADOS Access Control Includes

Multi-Credential Management

Keycards, fobs, and smartphone credentials managed from a single platform. Issue, revoke, and modify access permissions in seconds without collecting physical keys or changing locks across your facility.

Cloud-Based Management

Lock and unlock doors remotely from any browser or mobile app. Set recurring schedules, pull access logs, and manage permissions without an on-site server. Cloud-based management means control from anywhere.

Audit Trails

Every door event logged with timestamp, credential used, and access result. Audit trails ready for HIPAA, NIST, and CIS compliance requirements. Reports generated on demand for security reviews and investigations.

Camera Integration

Door events automatically trigger video recording from linked cameras. Access denied alerts paired with footage give security teams visual verification of every attempted entry at controlled access points.

Hardware Installation

Access control events tied to your camera systems and alarm infrastructure. A door open triggers video recording. An unauthorized attempt triggers alerts across connected systems.

Hardware Installation

Electric strikes, magnetic locks, card readers, and request-to-exit sensors selected for your building layout, door types, and security requirements. Professionally installed by our low-voltage team.

Common Questions

FAQ

Most small offices with five doors or fewer complete commercial access control installation in one to two business days. Larger facilities with multiple floors, parking structures, or high-security zones may require three to five days depending on the number of controlled doors and complexity of integration with existing infrastructure. Exact timelines are determined during the site survey based on your building layout and door hardware requirements.
Yes. Mobile apps from your commercial access control platform provide remote lock and unlock control, credential management, schedule configuration, and real-time entry log viewing from any smartphone. Administrators can grant or revoke access, set temporary credentials for visitors, and review door events from anywhere. Cloud-based management eliminates the need for on-premises servers and ensures control is always available regardless of location.
All systems we install include battery backup for the controller and fail-safe or fail-secure lock configurations depending on your needs and local fire code requirements. Fail-safe locks release during power loss to allow egress, which is standard for most commercial access control office environments. Fail-secure locks remain locked during outages, common for server rooms and storage areas. Battery backup keeps controllers operational throughout typical outage durations.
Entry logs generated by your commercial access control system support documentation requirements for HIPAA, NIST 800-53, CIS benchmarks, and other frameworks. Every event includes timestamp, credential ID, and door identifier. SADOS configures reports tailored to your audit needs including scheduled exports and retention policies. NIST SP 800-116 provides federal guidelines for physical access credentials that inform our configurations.
Usually yes. Compatible existing camera systems integrate directly with new commercial access control installations. Upgrades or replacements are handled within the same project when needed. Our camera systems integrate with access control for event-triggered recording, so door events automatically capture corresponding video footage for security review and compliance documentation.
Yes. Multi-site organizations manage all locations from one cloud-based commercial access control platform. Credentials work across facilities based on assigned permissions. Administrators manage doors at every location from a single dashboard without separate systems or on-premises servers at each site. Adding new locations to your existing platform is straightforward and maintains consistent security policies across your entire organization.
