Standalone or networked keypad access for doors, gates, and restricted areas. Simple to manage, no credentials to issue - ideal for shared spaces and back-of-house entries.

Why SyncTO Systems
Frequently Asked
How does an access control system work?
An access control system has five components: a control panel (the brain), readers at each door (card, fob, mobile, or biometric), credentials for each user, door hardware (electric strikes or mag locks), and management software. When a user presents their credential, the panel checks permissions and unlocks the door if authorized.
What types of access control do you install?
Card readers, key fobs, mobile credentials, keypads, biometric readers, electric strikes, and magnetic locks. We recommend the right system during your free site assessment based on your security needs and budget.
Can you add access control to my existing doors?
In most cases, yes. We install electric strikes or mag locks on existing door frames and add readers without replacing the door itself. We assess compatibility during the site visit.
Can access control integrate with my security cameras?
Yes. We integrate access events with your video surveillance system so you can see who badged in and verify it on camera - a complete audit trail.
What happens if the power goes out?
Systems are designed with fail-safe or fail-secure options depending on fire code requirements. Critical doors remain accessible during power outages per building code.
Can I manage credentials remotely?
Yes. Cloud-based and networked systems allow you to add, revoke, or modify credentials from any computer or mobile device - no need to be on-site.
Can you set up scheduled auto-lock/unlock?
Yes. Most systems support time-based schedules - automatically unlock doors during business hours and lock after hours. Custom schedules per door and per zone.
Why Pickering Businesses Need Access Control Installation
Pickering's industrial and commercial properties face security challenges typical of a growing suburban market - construction site theft in new Seaton developments, after-hours break-ins at Kingston Road retail plazas, and cargo theft at Brock Road warehouses and loading docks. The casino and entertainment complex near the waterfront has also increased foot traffic in surrounding commercial areas, raising security awareness among neighbouring business owners. Distribution centres and logistics operations along Brock Road need perimeter surveillance, loading dock cameras, and access control systems to protect inventory and meet insurance requirements.
Pickering Commercial Landscape
Pickering's commercial base spans three distinct zones: the Kingston Road corridor lined with auto dealerships, service plazas, and fast-food franchises; the Brock Road industrial area with warehouses, distribution centres, and light manufacturing; and the emerging Seaton development zone where new commercial units are being built from the ground up. The Pickering Town Centre mall and its surrounding retail power centre anchor the city's retail core, while Liverpool Road near the waterfront supports a cluster of restaurants, boutiques, and professional offices.
