A door specialist's approach to commercial security.
Our work is grounded in commercial buildings. Offices, retail, warehouses, medical clinics, mixed use and multi tenant properties. Access control, CCTV and integrated systems, all designed around the doors themselves, because a credential is only as trustworthy as the door it commands.
Every commercial project starts with a physical walk of the property, a conversation with facilities and operations about who needs access, when and how, and a written proposal that separates hardware, credentials, integration and installation. No hidden line items. No franchised call centres. One local Edmonton team, accountable end to end. Residential work is available by request, and we regularly support property management companies across their portfolios.
Built for business.
This is where most of our work sits. Offices, retail, warehouses, medical clinics, industrial sites and multi tenant buildings across the Edmonton region. Tiered permissions, complete audit trails, time and attendance integration, and commercial grade hardware specified for continuous, professional use. Scales cleanly from a single door to hundreds, across one address or many.

Residential and property management.
While our practice is primarily commercial, we take on residential work by request, and we are a trusted partner for property management companies operating multi unit residential, condominium and rental portfolios. Common unit door hardware, lobby and amenity access, parkade control and resident credential management are handled with the same discipline as a commercial deployment.
- 01 Multi unit residential and condominium buildings
- 02 Property management portfolio deployments
- 03 Lobby, amenity and parkade access
- 04 Resident and staff credential management
- 05 Smart deadbolts, keypads and video doorbells for private homes
- 06 Mobile unlock, guest codes and remote monitoring
See every door. On record.
CCTV is designed alongside your access control system, not bolted on afterwards. Cameras are positioned to cover the exact entries, thresholds and blind spots that matter, and events are correlated with credential activity for a complete record.

System design & written proposal
You receive a fixed price proposal itemising hardware, credentials, integration points and installation. No surprises later.
Training & long term support
