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 Toronto Businesses Need Access Control Installation
Toronto's downtown experiences the highest concentration of commercial property crime in the GTA, with retail theft, after-hours office break-ins, and parking garage incidents driving demand for comprehensive surveillance and access control systems. High-rise buildings with hundreds of tenants need centralized visitor management, elevator-integrated access control, and lobby camera systems that meet insurance and compliance requirements. The hospitality and nightlife corridors along King West and the Entertainment District also require high-resolution exterior cameras and monitored alarm systems to protect patrons and satisfy liquor licensing security mandates.
Toronto Commercial Landscape
Toronto's commercial landscape is dominated by Class A and Class AA office towers along Bay Street and University Avenue, housing the headquarters of Canada's Big Five banks, major law firms, and global consulting companies. Beyond the financial core, neighbourhoods like Liberty Village and the Fashion District have become magnets for tech startups, creative agencies, and media companies occupying converted warehouse spaces that need complete cabling retrofits. CityPlace and the waterfront corridor add a new dimension with mixed-use condo-commercial podiums where retail, fitness, and professional services share building infrastructure.
