Mobile credentials, keyless entry, video intercoms, surveillance, and audit trails — designed to work with your network, your AV, and your property-management software from the day they're installed.
Access control is the most-asked-about category we install, and the one where the wrong vendor choice costs the most over time. The market shifted from keys and fobs to mobile credentials in the last five years. If your building is still on a brass-key system, you're paying for lock changes, rekeys, and lost-fob replacements every month — and you're missing out on integration with everything else the building runs on.
We install Allegion (Schlage and Zentra) for commercial mechanical, electronic locks, and Allegion's cloud platform. UniFi Access for buildings standardized on Ubiquiti end-to-end. Salto Space for traditional commercial enterprise access and Salto KS for cloud-managed multi-site and multifamily. ButterflyMX and Comelit for video intercoms. The choice depends on building type, scale, and how you want to manage credentials long-term.
But the brand is the easy decision. The hard part is integrating access control with the rest of your building — the network it runs on, the cameras that document every door event, the property-management software that needs to provision and revoke residents, and the visitor and package workflows that share the front door. That's where most access projects fall down. We don't install access control as a standalone system; we install it as one piece of an integrated stack.
Every Alpheento access deployment includes credentialing strategy, lock and reader selection, IP backbone design, dashboard configuration, integration with your existing systems (PMS, surveillance), and an installation phased to minimize disruption. We also handle the resident or employee rollout — communications, mobile app installation, training, and the inevitable first-week support calls — so your team isn't fielding "I can't get in" tickets.
Real access-control outcomes — credentials that work on the first tap, doors that close and lock, audit trails you can pull in seconds.
Residents and employees can carry credentials on their phone, on a card, or on a fob — whichever they prefer. Mobile is faster to provision; physical is fallback for the small percentage that needs it. Lost credentials are revoked and reissued in seconds, not days.
A door event pulls the matching camera clip in one click. Resident move-ins and move-outs sync from Yardi, RealPage, or AppFolio — no manual provisioning.
Every badge swipe, every denied entry, every after-hours access is logged. Searchable, exportable, and useful for compliance reviews or incident investigations.
Cloud-based systems cache credentials at the door. Battery backups keep readers running. We size your backup paths based on the building's risk profile.
Most access retrofits are phased by floor, zone, or stack — coordinated to lease cycles or business hours so you're never locked out of your own building during the install.
When something goes wrong, you call us — not the lock manufacturer, the intercom company, and the IT vendor. We handle the troubleshooting across the entire stack.
If any of these sound like your front door, amenity space, or parking gate, you're in the right place.
Residents lose fobs constantly. Replacement fobs and the staff time to issue them add up fast.
Mobile credentials. The phone they already carry becomes the key. Lost-credential turnaround drops from days to under a minute, no fob inventory required.
Every time a resident moves out, you're rekeying or rotating fobs to prevent ex-residents from re-entering.
Credentials revoke instantly from a dashboard. When the lease ends, access ends. No locksmith, no rekey kit, no risk of an old fob still working.
You can't see who came in or when. When something goes wrong, you're reviewing camera footage manually for hours.
Door events are timestamped and tied to user identity. One click in the access dashboard pulls the matching camera clip. Investigations take minutes, not hours.
New tenants are stuck waiting for the property manager to issue them a fob during business hours.
Mobile credentials issue remotely the moment the lease is signed. New residents have access before they pick up the keys.
Your access system doesn't talk to your HR or property-management software. You're double-entering hires and move-ins.
Modern access platforms integrate natively with Yardi, RealPage, AppFolio, and most major PMS tools. New residents and hires get access automatically; departing ones lose it the same way.
Your current intercom is an old buzzer system. Deliveries are dropped on the floor when residents don't answer.
ButterflyMX or Comelit video intercoms ring residents' phones, even when they're not home. Delivery codes let carriers in without anyone home.
Readers, controllers, credentials, wiring, software, integration — when we say "complete access control," this is what we mean.
Salto's flagship platform for commercial enterprise. On-prem or hybrid deployment with deep customization, role-based admin dashboards, and integration with identity providers. Electronic locks (battery and wired), wall readers, gate readers, and tenant-facing apps. Best fit for office buildings, education campuses, and larger commercial properties.
Salto's cloud-based "Keys as a Service" platform. Mobile credentials, multi-site management from one dashboard, instant provisioning, and remote credential issuing. Best fit for multi-tenant commercial, multifamily portfolios, and small businesses that want no on-prem hardware to manage.
Cylindrical and mortise locks, electric strikes, and IP readers. Best fit for traditional commercial buildings, government facilities, and education campuses where durable hardware matters more than cloud flexibility.
Schlage's cloud-managed access platform. Mobile credentials including Apple Wallet and Google Wallet keys, real-time dashboards, audit trails, and native integration with Schlage XE360 and Control hardware. Strong fit for multifamily owners and commercial operators standardizing across multiple properties.
Front-door video intercoms residents accept on their phones from anywhere. Visitor codes, delivery PINs, integration with property-management software, and audit trails of every entry. ButterflyMX for multifamily, Comelit for wired-infrastructure or smaller-scale deployments.
Every door event triggers the matching camera clip. Live view, recorded review, license-plate cameras at gates. Cloud or on-prem recording with retention policies sized to your compliance needs.
For buildings standardized on Ubiquiti, we deploy UniFi Access readers and locks alongside UniFi networking and cameras. One dashboard, one vendor, one platform.
Native integrations with Yardi, RealPage, AppFolio, and other major PMS tools for multifamily. New residents get access automatically; ex-residents lose it the same way.
We size battery backups at every reader, UPS for the access controller, and verify failover behavior at install. When the power or internet drops, the doors keep working the way you expect them to.
4 phases. One project lead. Transparent timeline and line items from day one.
Not slogans. The access-control operating principles that show up in every project.
Salto, Allegion, ButterflyMX, Comelit — platforms we know cold from years of deploying them. Your install is done by people who do this every week, not by someone learning on your project.
Access fails when the network underneath it fails. We design both as one project, not two. Your readers always have a clean network to ride on.
You're never locked out of your own building during the install. Phased by floor, stack, or zone — coordinated to your operational schedule.
When something needs fixing, you call us. We handle the access platform, the cameras, the intercom, and the network. You don't coordinate three vendors.
How access control shows up varies by building type — multifamily leans mobile credentials and resident-app tie-in; CRE prioritizes tenant partitioning; hospitality needs PMS hand-off.
Access control gets tied to intercoms, cameras, and the resident app most often — that's where the ROI shows up.
For access-control platforms, we install Salto Space, Allegion Zentra, Alarm.com Smart Properties, and UniFi Access most often. Selection depends on scale, hosting model, and how tightly the client needs it tied to the resident app.
Common access-control questions — mobile credentials, hosted vs. on-prem, and integration with intercoms and cameras.
A typical 50-unit multifamily retrofit is 4–8 weeks, phased to minimize resident disruption. Small commercial installs (20 doors or less) are usually 2–4 weeks. We provide a written timeline at design.
Yes. Mobile credentials use rotating cryptographic tokens that are harder to clone than legacy proximity cards. They're also instantly revocable from the dashboard — much faster than physically retrieving a fob.
Cloud-based access systems cache credentials at the door and continue working through outages. Battery backups at each reader keep the doors operational. We size the backup paths during design based on your risk profile.
Yes. Most of our installs are mixed — mobile credentials at high-traffic doors, mechanical keys retained where it makes sense. Salto, Allegion, all support hybrid deployments.
Yes for most modern PMS platforms — Yardi, RealPage, AppFolio, Entrata. We scope the specific integration during the consultation.
Yes. We deploy mixed credentials — mobile for residents who want it, physical key cards or fobs for residents who prefer them. Salto and ButterflyMX both support hybrid deployments.
Yes — that's one of the core reasons we install both as one project. Every door event ties to a camera clip. Searching for "who came in at 2:30 AM" takes seconds instead of hours of footage review.
Free consultation. We'll come walk the space, listen to what you're trying to fix, and tell you what's possible at three different price points.
