Access control here means the door end of the system: keypads, card and fob readers, electric strikes and maglocks, and the credentials that go with them. It suits a packing operation where crews change with the season, a shop with staff coming and going, a yard where keys keep walking, or a landlord tired of reissuing metal. Where it earns its money is administration rather than security: a credential can be switched off in a minute and a key cannot.
In a town where crews turn over between seasons, that is the whole argument. Twenty people were issued a key in March; in November nobody is sure how many came back. A reader turns that from a rekey into a list.
The line to know is the same one that runs through this site. The reader, the strike, the keypad and the credentials are ours. Fire panels, alarms, gate motors and irrigation timers are not. If your system is failing rather than your door lock, you will hear that early rather than after somebody has parked.
Work runs $145 to $389 with the $89 service call inside it. A keypad on an interior staff door sits at the low end; a reader with an electric strike on an exterior door, with credentials issued, sits at the top. Exposure matters on an outdoor door: a reader on a shed or a gate takes dust and damp, and cheap outdoor hardware is a repeat purchase here.
All sixteen jobs and their ranges are on this page, and so is the hour. Say what time it is and what happened, and the range closes to one figure on the call with the hour already counted in.

FAQ
Access Control: quick answers
We lose keys every season when the crew changes. Is this the fix?+
It is the honest fix for that specific problem, yes. A credential is switched off in a minute; a metal key that did not come back means rekeying every lock it opened. On a site with seasonal turnover the arithmetic favours readers on the doors that matter and keys on the ones that do not.
Do we lose the keys entirely?+
Not if the door allows an override, and we keep one wherever possible. Electronics fail and power goes out; a door with no mechanical route in is a lockout waiting to happen. Keeping a keyway is a design decision, not an admission of doubt.

Gilroy plus San Martin, Hollister, Aromas, San Juan Bautista and Watsonville, around the clock, every day. Four to seven in the morning costs what an evening costs and less than a night, and whatever hour it is, the number comes back on the call with the $89 visit already inside it — and it is the number on the receipt.
