Fob, card and phone access for St. Albert condos, seniors residences, clinics and the shops and offices in Campbell and Riel business parks, supported from our Edmonton head office.

Access control systems for St. Albert buildings
St. Albert’s newer condo and rental buildings in Erin Ridge and Jensen Lakes, its seniors residences, the professional offices and clinics off St. Albert Trail and the trades shops in Campbell and Riel business parks all need doors that open for the right people at the right times. We design and install fob, card and mobile access control across St. Albert, Morinville and Sturgeon County.
Residences and condos raise questions a warehouse doesn’t: residents who misplace fobs, family members and care staff who come and go at odd hours, and doors that must stay easy to open from the inside. We plan schedules, visitor entry and staff credentials around how each building actually runs, and make most changes remotely from Edmonton.

What affects the cost of access control in St. Albert
What a St. Albert access control quote depends on. Each item is confirmed on a site walk before we write it up.
Openings on the system
Main entrances, suite-level doors, parkade gates and overhead doors each need a reader and a lock or an operator connection.
Residents, staff and tenants
Every person needs a fob, card or phone credential, so a large residence costs more to set up than a small office.
Existing door hardware
Some doors keep their frames and closers; others need new strikes, maglocks or power transfer hinges.
Hosted or on-site software
A hosted platform has a subscription; software on a local server has licences and upkeep.
Ties to the intercom and cameras
Linking door events to video, or letting the intercom unlock the same doors, adds programming.
Planning access control for a St. Albert building
Settle these before the site walk, whether you’re a condo board, a residence operator or a business park tenant.
- Board or owner sign-offCondo boards and residence operators usually need a written scope before they approve. You get one after the walk-through.
- Who gets in whereList residents, staff, care workers, cleaners and trades, and the doors and hours each group needs.
- Doors people must always exitExit doors open freely from inside and release on fire alarm. We coordinate the tie-in with your fire alarm contractor.
- Visitors and familyDecide how visitors get in: through the intercom, a temporary credential or the front desk.
- Power outagesPick which doors stay locked and which unlock in an outage, and size battery backup to match.
- Admin handoverName the people who will add and remove users. Admin access and documentation are handed over on every project.
