Access Control Installation & Service
Professional Access Control Systems for Phoenix Homes & Businesses
Keycard readers, biometric terminals, smart locks, mobile credentials, and enterprise door controllers — professionally installed and configured by a licensed Arizona low-voltage contractor. Control who enters your property, when, and how.
Why Access Control
What Is an Access Control System?
An access control system replaces traditional locks and keys with electronic credentials — keycards, key fobs, PINs, biometrics, or smartphone apps — that let you decide who can enter specific doors, areas, or buildings and when that access is allowed. Every entry is logged, every credential is revocable, and management happens from a single platform.
Whether you need a single smart lock on your front door or a 200-door commercial system with real-time cloud management across multiple sites, Planet Geek designs, installs, and supports access control solutions tailored to your property and budget. As a licensed Arizona low-voltage contractor (ROC #357379) and alarm company (License #27005), we bring the technical depth to integrate access control with your security cameras, intrusion alarms, intercoms, and smart home or building automation — creating one unified security platform.
Credential Types We Install
Types of Access Control Systems
Keycard & Key Fob Access Control
Proximity cards and RFID key fobs are the most widely deployed access credentials in commercial buildings. Each user carries a unique token read by a wall-mounted reader to unlock the door. Lost or stolen cards are instantly revoked — no locksmith required. We install MIFARE and HID-compatible card reader systems from Paxton, LTS Pro-X, and Gallagher.
Mobile Credential & Smartphone Access
Turn every employee’s or resident’s phone into their access credential. Mobile access control uses Bluetooth, NFC, or Wi-Fi to communicate with readers at the door — no card to lose, no fob to forget. We deploy mobile credential solutions through Alarm.com, Paxton’s new Solo cloud platform, and Gallagher’s Mobile Connect app with Apple Wallet and Google Wallet support.
Biometric Access Control
Fingerprint scanners and facial recognition terminals provide the highest level of door security because the credential is the person themselves — it cannot be shared, copied, or forgotten. The LTS Pro-X face recognition controller verifies identity in under 0.2 seconds and stores up to 20,000 users. Ideal for server rooms, pharmacies, executive offices, and any high-security area.
Keypad & PIN Code Entry
A numeric keypad lets authorized users enter a unique PIN to unlock a door. PIN codes are simple to deploy, easy to change, and ideal for temporary access — contractors, delivery drivers, short-term rentals. Keypads can be used standalone or layered with a card reader or biometric terminal for multi-factor authentication.
Smart Locks & Keyless Entry
Residential smart locks from Kwikset, Yale, and Schlage integrate with the Alarm.com platform for keyless convenience with full awareness. Lock or unlock remotely from your phone, create time-limited user codes for dog walkers and housekeepers, and get real-time alerts every time someone enters. Smart locks also integrate with your security system, cameras, and thermostat.
Cloud-Based & Networked Access Control
Cloud-hosted platforms like Paxton Solo, Alarm.com for Business, and Gallagher Command Centre Web let you manage users, credentials, schedules, and access logs from any browser or smartphone — anywhere in the world. Add or revoke access in seconds without a site visit. Networked systems scale from a single door to thousands of doors across multiple locations.

Unified Security
Access Control Integrations
Access control is most powerful when it works with your other building systems. When someone badges into your building, your cameras can record a video clip. When the last employee arms the alarm, doors lock automatically. When a visitor rings the intercom, you see live video on your phone and buzz them in remotely. These aren’t separate systems — they’re one unified platform.
Planet Geek integrates access control with: Security Cameras & NVRs • Intrusion & Burglar Alarms • 24/7 Alarm Monitoring • Video Intercom & Door Stations • Smart Home Automation • Smart Locks (Z-Wave/Zigbee) • Motorized Gates & Barriers • Garage Door Control • Elevator Access Control • Fire Alarm Relay / Door Hold-Open • Network Infrastructure • Structured Cabling (Cat6/Cat6A) • License Plate Recognition (ALPR) • Visitor Management.
How It Works
Our Access Control Installation Process
1. Site Assessment
We evaluate every door, gate, and entry point on your property. We identify security vulnerabilities, review your existing infrastructure (network, power, door hardware), and discuss your operational requirements — who needs access, when, and where.
2. System Design
We select the right platform, credential type, and hardware. You receive a detailed proposal showing every component, installation scope, and a clear price — no surprises. We spec the structured cabling, power supplies, controllers, readers, and locks.
3. Professional Installation
Our licensed technicians handle all low-voltage wiring, door hardware, reader mounting, controller installation, and network configuration. Clean cable runs, labeled terminations, code-compliant work. Minimal disruption to your operations.
4. Programming & Configuration
We configure user credentials, access levels, time schedules, door groups, alarm integrations, and automation rules. We test every door, verify every credential, and train you and your staff on day-to-day management.
5. Ongoing Support
Planet Geek provides ongoing technical support, credential management, firmware updates, and hardware maintenance. When you need to add a door, onboard a new employee, or expand to a second location — we’re a phone call away.
