EntryGuard Solutions

At EntryGuard Solutions, we understand that each property has unique security needs. Whether you manage a small office, a multi-tenant residential complex, a retail store, or a large commercial facility, implementing a robust access control system brings a wide range of benefits that go far beyond just locking and unlocking doors. Here’s a closer look at how access control can improve your safety, efficiency, and peace of mind:

Enhanced Security Across All Entry Points

Access control systems dramatically improve the overall security posture of any building. By limiting access to authorized personnel only, you reduce the chances of break-ins, vandalism, data breaches, and internal theft. Unlike traditional locks and keys, electronic access control systems are highly resistant to duplication or tampering.

You can also customize permissions for individual users, departments, or roles. For example, only managers can access high-security areas like server rooms or executive offices. This layered security approach helps protect valuable assets, confidential information, and the well-being of employees or residents.

Real-Time Monitoring & Activity Tracking

Our modern access control systems include real-time monitoring capabilities that allow you to view entry logs, user activity, and door status from a centralized dashboard. Every event—such as a door being opened, forced entry attempts, or access denied alerts—is logged instantly.

This level of visibility enables security teams and business owners to identify and respond to threats quickly. With built-in audit trails, you can also generate detailed reports for compliance purposes, internal investigations, or insurance documentation.

Remote Access & Centralized Management

In today’s flexible work environment, the ability to control access from anywhere is crucial. Our cloud-based access control solutions allow property managers, business owners, or security administrators to remotely:

• Lock or unlock doors

• Issue or revoke credentials

• Adjust schedules

• Receive alerts and status updates

Whether you’re managing a single site or multiple locations across the city or region, you can oversee every building’s access system through one user-friendly platform. This eliminates the need for on-site personnel to manage entry permissions or deal with manual updates.

Improved Employee & Resident Accountability

When each person is assigned a unique credential—such as a fob, card, or biometric profile—there is a clear record of who accessed what, when, and where. This level of accountability helps enforce company policies and prevent unauthorized access to restricted areas.

It also deters employees or visitors from engaging in negligent or malicious behavior, knowing that their actions are being monitored and logged. In the case of an incident, you’ll have reliable digital records that can be used for audits or internal reviews.

Eliminate the Risk of Lost or Stolen Keys

Traditional keys present ongoing security risks. If someone loses a key, you may need to replace the locks entirely—an expensive and time-consuming process. With access control, you can instantly deactivate a lost credential and issue a new one without affecting other users.

This not only minimizes security risks but also makes credential management far more convenient. Temporary access can also be granted to contractors, cleaners, or guests and revoked as needed, all with just a few clicks.

Seamless Integration with Other Security Systems

A major advantage of modern access control solutions is their ability to integrate with other security technologies for a fully connected system. EntryGuard Solutions can help you create a unified platform by combining access control with:

• Alarm Systems – Trigger alarms if unauthorized access is attempted or doors are forced open.

• Video Surveillance (CCTV) – Link access events with live or recorded video to verify entry incidents.

• Intercom Systems – Allow two-way communication before granting entry, enhancing visitor management.

• Building Automation – Coordinate lighting, HVAC, or elevators based on access activity for energy efficiency and convenience.

This integration leads to a smarter, more responsive building that not only protects your people and assets but also enhances operational efficiency.

Scalable for Growing Needs

Our access control systems are designed to scale as your organization grows. Whether you’re adding more doors, expanding to new floors, or opening additional locations, your system can grow with you. We offer multi-site and multi-tenant support, making it easy to maintain centralized control across different buildings while maintaining unique access rules for each location.

Increased Convenience for All Users

Modern access systems eliminate the need for physical keys, improving convenience for users. With mobile credentials, employees or residents can use their smartphones to unlock doors, reducing physical touchpoints and simplifying access management. Scheduled access can also ensure that doors open and lock automatically at specific times, eliminating the need for manual intervention.

Regulatory Compliance & Audit Readiness

If your business is required to comply with local, industry-specific, or federal regulations (such as HIPAA for healthcare, PCI-DSS for retail, or AODA for Ontario-based businesses), an access control system can help. Detailed logs and time-stamped reports provide proof of compliance with security and privacy standards. In regulated industries, this can be vital for passing audits or inspections.

Customizable Access Levels & Schedules

You can assign different access levels to employees, visitors, and contractors depending on their roles or responsibilities. Access can also be restricted based on time, ensuring that users can only enter certain areas during designated hours. For example, cleaning staff might only have access in the evenings, while executives have full access 24/7.

This type of granular control helps enforce policies, limits liability, and minimizes opportunities for misuse or unauthorized activity.

Emergency Preparedness & Lockdown Capabilities

In case of emergencies such as fire, lockdown, or security threats, access control systems can be programmed to respond automatically. You can initiate a full or partial lockdown from a centralized command, ensuring that certain areas are sealed off while others remain accessible for evacuation.

Evacuation reports can also be generated instantly, helping emergency responders know who is still in the building. These features can be lifesaving during a crisis and are especially valuable for schools, government buildings, and large commercial sites.

Cost-Efficient Security Management

While access control systems represent an upfront investment, they provide long-term savings through increased efficiency and reduced risks. You’ll save on the cost of rekeying locks, hiring additional guards, or recovering from security incidents. With automated systems, fewer resources are needed for manual security tasks, allowing your team to focus on core operations.
