Access Control & Door Security Systems in Los Angeles

What Are Access Control Systems?

Access control systems manage who enters your building and when they can enter. These systems use credentials like key cards, fobs, biometric scanners, or mobile apps to grant or deny access. Access control systems replace traditional keys and provide detailed entry logs for every door.

Los Angeles Cabling Company installs access control systems for offices, warehouses, medical facilities, schools, and multi-tenant buildings. Each system connects to your network infrastructure and integrates with your existing security cabling.

How Do Door Security Systems Work?

Door security systems use electronic locks controlled by a central access control panel. When someone presents valid credentials, the system unlocks the door for a set time period. The system logs every access attempt, including who accessed which door and when.

We install several types of electronic locks. Magnetic locks hold doors closed using electromagnetic force. Electric strikes replace traditional door strikes and work with existing door hardware. Panic bars allow emergency exit while maintaining security.

Each door security system connects to your network through structured cabling. This connection allows centralized control and monitoring from any computer or mobile device.

Why Choose Professional Installation?

Professional installation ensures your access control system works reliably and meets code requirements. In our experience installing many systems across Los Angeles, we've found that proper cable routing and termination prevents most system failures.

We used structured cabling methods on a recent 50-door controlled access installation at a medical complex in Glendale. Designing and installing proper cable management for this healthcare customer eliminated interference issues and the installation passed certification testing on the first attempt. This approach saves expensive downtime and prevents costly service calls.

California requires licensed C-7 low-voltage contractors for security system installations. Our team holds current certifications and follows Title 24 energy efficiency standards for all access control installations.

Access Control System Components

Modern access control systems include several key components. The access control panel serves as the system brain and connects to your network. Door controllers manage individual doors or groups of doors. Electronic locks physically secure each entry point.

Credential readers let users present their access cards, fobs, or biometric data. Request-to-exit sensors detect when someone leaves and unlock the door automatically. Door position switches monitor whether doors close properly.



We integrate these components with your existing network cabling infrastructure. Most systems use standard network cables that connect to your main data network. This integration allows centralized management through web browsers or mobile apps.

Benefits of Access Control Systems

Access control systems eliminate lost keys and unauthorized key copies. You can instantly deactivate lost credentials and issue new ones without rekeying locks. This feature saves money and improves security.



The systems create detailed audit trails showing exactly who accessed each door. These logs help investigate security incidents and satisfy compliance requirements. Many industries require these detailed access records.

You can schedule access by time and day. Employees only access specific areas during their work hours. Contractors receive temporary credentials that expire automatically. Remote management lets you lock or unlock doors from anywhere.

Integration with Other Security Systems

Industries We Serve

• We install access control systems for commercial and industrial facilities that need employee access management and visitor control. Healthcare and education clients require detailed access logs and HIPAA-compliant features.
  
• Municipal and government properties need high-security solutions with audit trails and emergency lockdown capabilities. Multi-tenant residential buildings use access control for lobby doors, amenity spaces, and parking areas.
• Hospitality and retail locations integrate access control with point-of-sale systems and inventory management.
  
• Each industry has specific requirements that our technicians are trained to identify. And we address these requirements during our onsite planning and system design process.

Service Areas

Los Angeles Cabling Company serves all of Los Angeles County. We're based at 1339 Wilcox Ave, Los Angeles, California 90028. Our service area includes Commerce, Vernon, and Montebello, Burbank, Glendale, and Pasadena, Long Beach and Signal Hill, Anaheim, Orange, and Fullerton.

We provide the same professional installation and support whether you need one door or a hundred. Our technicians travel throughout Los Angeles County for installations, maintenance, and emergency service.

Maintenance and Support

Access control systems need regular maintenance to ensure reliable operation. We provide scheduled maintenance that includes testing all door locks, cleaning credential readers, and verifying network connections. Software updates keep systems secure against new threats.

Our emergency service responds 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. When an access control system fails, we dispatch technicians immediately. Quick response prevents security gaps and minimizes business disruption.

We also offer maintenance and emergency service for systems we didn't originally install. Our team works with all major access control brands and can troubleshoot any system.

Network Requirements

Access control systems connect to your data network through structured cabling installation. Modern systems use Power over Ethernet (PoE) to power door controllers and card readers. This approach eliminates separate power supplies at each door.

Your network must provide adequate bandwidth and quality of service for access control traffic. We perform network testing and certification before and after installation. This testing ensures your access control system has the network resources needed to optimize functions.

Some systems use fiber optic cabling and splicing for long cable runs or outdoor connections. Fiber optic cabling has the advantage of being immune to electrical interference and it supports longer distances than copper cabling.

Certifications and Standards

All our access control installations meet California Title 24 requirements and local building codes. We document every installation with as-built drawings and test results. This documentation proves code compliance and helps with future system changes.

Our technicians hold manufacturer certifications for major access control brands. These certifications ensure we install systems according to specifications. We also maintain C-7 low-voltage contractor licenses required in California.



Each completed system receives full certification testing. We verify all door locks function properly and network connectivity meets standards. You receive complete documentation showing your system passed all tests.
