Access control systems in Sherwood Park
Fob, card and phone access for Sherwood Park offices and condos, and for the contractor shops and yards that serve the plants across Strathcona County.

Access control systems for Sherwood Park buildings
Strathcona County puts a large urban centre right beside heavy industry. In Sherwood Park we see condo buildings and offices along Baseline Road and Wye Road, retail in Emerald Hills, and shops and yards for contractors who work at the refineries and plants to the west and north. We design and install access control for all of them.
Contractor shops change crews often and need gates that open for the right trucks before sunrise. Offices want suite-by-suite access and a clean record of who came in. We plan for both, and keep your access system off any plant or process control network.
Serving Sherwood Park and Strathcona County, supported from our Edmonton head office.
