Fob, card and phone access for Nanaimo strata and rental buildings, offices and Duke Point industrial sites, with weather-rated readers for the coast.

Access control systems for Nanaimo buildings
New strata and rental buildings in North Nanaimo, Lantzville and Ladysmith, offices downtown and industrial sites around Duke Point all need entry that is easy to manage. We design and install fob, card and mobile access control across Nanaimo and central Vancouver Island.
Coastal rain and salt air wear out exterior readers and locks, so we choose sealed, corrosion-resistant hardware for exposed doors and gates. Door logs are personal information under BC privacy law, so we help you decide who can see them.
