Why Atlanta businesses call us about access control
Keys you cannot get back
Someone leaves and the key leaves with them. Re-keying every lock is slow and expensive, so it often does not happen. With access control, you revoke a credential in seconds and the door stops opening for it.
Tenants and residents who keep changing
Multi-tenant and multifamily buildings add and remove people every week, each with different doors and hours. Managing that by hand, or across systems that do not talk to each other, is where mistakes happen.
Doors propped open
A locked door only works while it is shut. A door that is forced, propped, or left open is a gap you usually find out about after the fact.
No record when you need one
When something goes missing, or an insurer, auditor, or board asks who went where, a brass key leaves no trail. Access control logs every entry, and paired with cameras, you can see it too.
Access control and compliance →An old system nobody supports
The installer moved on, the software is out of date, and the server sits in a closet nobody wants to touch. That is a security problem, not just an inconvenience, because the panel is a computer on your network.
Three vendors, no owner
The door company, the camera company, and the IT company each own a piece. When a door fails or a camera goes dark, they point at each other and you make the calls.
Access control systems we install and run
One Atlanta access control installer for the doors, the cameras, and the network they run on, from the first site walk through every year after.
Cloud, on-premises, or mobile
Cloud access control you manage from a browser or phone, on-premises systems that run on a server in your building, and mobile credentials that turn a phone into the key. We install all three, so the recommendation follows your building.
Cloud vs on-premises, compared →Readers, controllers, and door hardware
Card and phone readers, door controllers, locks, and the exit hardware that lets people out safely. Fire and life-safety code governs how a locked door releases, and that is designed in from the start.
Tied to your cameras
Door events and video on one network, so you can search what happened at a door, not just that it opened. Integration with alarms and building systems is part of the same design.
Access control and building systems →The network under it
Your access panels and camera recorders are computers on your network, so they are only as secure as that network. We put them on a secured, segmented network and keep them patched.
Network security checklist →Cabling and installation
Our own technicians pull the cable, mount the hardware, and stand the system up. The same team maintains it afterward, so it is built to live with, not just to pass inspection.
Structured cabling →Monitoring and maintenance
Under a managed-security contract, we monitor your devices, dispatch a ticket on any issue, and maintain access control alongside your cameras and endpoints. Response terms are set per engagement.

Door monitoring. For commercial properties that need to know right away, Charlotte alerts when a door is forced, propped, or left open.
Who we install access control for
- Offices
- Employee doors, server rooms, and suites, with access you grant or revoke without re-keying a lock.
- Multi-tenant commercial
- Shared entrances and tenant suites, each tenant on its own doors and schedule.
- Multifamily and apartments
- Lobbies, amenities, and garages for residents who move in and out all year.
- HOAs and gated communities
- Gates and amenities for a board with no staff on site, often at the edge of the network where connectivity is weakest.
- Senior living
- Campuses where a door left open is a safety problem, not just a security one.
For gated communities, plate reading at the gate is Conquest LPR, matched against your resident and guest lists.
How an access control project works
Assess
We walk the site and audit what is already there: doors, controllers, cable, the network, and the cybersecurity behind them. Then we tell you honestly what is worth keeping.
Design
One plan for the doors and cameras, the network segment under them, and the monitoring that keeps them safe.
Install
Our own technicians pull the cable and mount the hardware. No hand-off to a crew you never meet.
Run it
The same team monitors and maintains it, with coverage and response terms written into the agreement.
What it costs
There is no honest flat price per door. The number comes from the doors, the door hardware, the readers, the cable already in the walls, and cloud versus on-premises. Our access control cost guide walks through each one and the questions to ask on any quote, ours included.

Access control questions
- What does an access control company in Atlanta actually do?
- Designs the system around your doors, installs the readers, controllers, locks, and cable, sets up the software and credentials, and keeps it running afterward. Ask any installer whether their own technicians do the install and who you call when a door fails. At Conquest, the answer to both is the same local team.
- Can you take over the access control system we already have?
- Usually, yes. We assess what is installed, tell you honestly what is worth keeping, and take over monitoring and maintenance. An upgrade is not always a rip-and-replace. Existing cable, door hardware, and sometimes readers can stay while the controllers and software change.
- Should we choose cloud or on-premises access control?
- Cloud usually costs less up front, adds a subscription, and makes remote management easy. On-premises costs more up front, keeps the data in your building, and keeps doors working on the local network. Some sites use both. We install either, so we recommend from your building and your network, not a product list.
- How much does commercial access control cost?
- It depends on the number and kind of doors, the door hardware, the readers and credentials, the cabling already in place, and cloud versus on-premises. We quote from a site walk. Our access control cost guide covers what drives the price and what to ask on any quote. Read the cost guide →
- Which areas do you serve?
- We are based in Marietta and install and support access control across Metro Atlanta, including Atlanta, Marietta, and Smyrna, and beyond for multi-site clients.
