About CDVI
What we install from CDVI
ATRIUM access control
An encrypted system managed from a web browser, phone or tablet that scales up to 500 doors, with mobile credentials.
Maglocks and strikes
Electromagnetic locks, electric strikes and shear locks sized for every door.
Exit and emergency hardware
Request-to-exit sensors, push buttons and emergency door releases.
Keypads, readers and biometrics
Standalone keypads, proximity readers and biometric entry.
Choosing the right CDVI setup
With CDVI, the right choice depends on the door. Glass storefront doors often suit maglocks, solid doors usually suit electric strikes, and doors on an exit route need hardware that releases safely. For the control side, ATRIUM is a good fit when you want encrypted, browser-managed access without a server, from a single door up to 500.
Upgrading an existing CDVI system
Worn-out maglocks, sticking strikes and failing keypads are some of the most common access problems we see. Swapping in correctly sized CDVI hardware often fixes doors that have been unreliable for years, without replacing the whole access system.
CDVI, fully supported end to end
One team handles your CDVI system from the first plan to years of service.
We assess every door, its frame and how it’s used, then size the locking hardware, power supplies and exit devices to suit. Installation includes wiring, testing the release on every door and, where needed, connecting to the fire alarm.
