Control who can enter your business, when they can enter and which areas they can access. Centex Security designs and installs commercial access control solutions for Atlanta-area offices, retail locations, warehouses, multifamily properties and other facilities.
Access Designed Around Your Business
Traditional keys can be copied, lost or difficult to manage as a company grows. A professionally designed access control system gives your business a more flexible way to protect entrances, sensitive rooms and shared areas.
Centex Security starts with your property, daily operations and security concerns. We then recommend a practical system for the number of doors, users and locations you need to manage—without forcing unnecessary features into the project.
Alarm.com Cloud-Based Access Control
Centex Security is an Alarm.com dealer, offering professionally installed Alarm.com access control solutions for eligible commercial projects.
Alarm.com’s cloud-based access control can combine intuitive user management with supported alarm and video integration. Depending on the selected equipment and service plan, businesses may be able to manage users and cards, use mobile credentials, create schedules, review access activity and control supported doors through Alarm.com web and mobile interfaces.
Available capabilities depend on equipment compatibility, connectivity, service plan and project design. Alarm.com and the Alarm.com logo are registered trademarks of Alarm.com Incorporated.

Commercial Access Control Options
Choose credentials and management tools that fit how employees, tenants, vendors and visitors move through your property.
Key Cards & Key Fobs
Issue, suspend or replace credentials without rekeying every affected door. Permissions can be assigned according to each user’s responsibilities.
Keypad Entry
Use PIN-based entry where cards or mobile credentials are not the best fit. Codes can be managed as staffing and access needs change.
Mobile Credentials
Compatible systems can let authorized users unlock designated doors with a supported mobile device, reducing reliance on physical credentials.
Cloud-Based Management
Manage users, schedules and supported locations remotely through a secure online interface when cloud management suits your operation.
On-Site Management
For organizations that prefer local control, an on-site platform may provide the appropriate balance of access, administration and ownership.
Single or Multiple Locations
Start with one controlled opening or plan a scalable system for multiple doors, departments, buildings or business locations.
Permissions, Schedules & Activity Records
Access control allows administrators to establish who may enter specific areas and when. Depending on the selected platform, your business may be able to:
- Assign access by employee, role, department or location
- Create time-based access schedules
- Remove credentials promptly when they are lost or no longer needed
- Review entry activity and access events
- Manage temporary access for vendors or service personnel
- Support changing needs without replacing traditional locks throughout the property
Available functions vary by platform and project design. Centex will review the required capabilities during the site assessment.
Integrated Commercial Security
Access control can work alongside other commercial security components to provide a clearer view of activity at your property. When technically compatible and appropriate for the site, integration may connect controlled doors with:
- Security cameras and video surveillance
- Commercial intrusion detection
- Door-position monitoring
- Remote security management
- Event notifications and activity review
Integration requirements depend on the existing equipment, software, wiring and selected access control platform.
Existing Access Control Systems & Upgrades
Already have readers, locks, wiring or a management platform? Centex Security can assess the existing system and discuss practical options for service, expansion or modernization.
Compatibility notice: Existing equipment cannot always be reused. Compatibility depends on the manufacturer, model, condition, programming access, licensing, wiring and the goals of the new project. Recommendations are made after an on-site evaluation.

Commercial Access Control FAQs
Can an access control system manage more than one door?
Yes. Systems can be designed for a single controlled entrance or multiple doors across one or more locations. The appropriate design depends on the number of users, openings and administrative needs.
Can we restrict access by employee or schedule?
Many systems allow administrators to assign permissions by user, role, door and time schedule. Available features depend on the selected platform.
Can access control integrate with security cameras?
Compatible access control and video systems may be integrated so door activity can be reviewed alongside recorded video. Centex will confirm compatibility during system design.
Can Centex reuse our existing equipment?
Possibly, but reuse cannot be guaranteed before an assessment. Manufacturer compatibility, equipment condition, wiring, software access and licensing all affect what can remain in service.
Do you offer cloud and on-site management?
Both approaches may be available depending on project requirements and the chosen platform. We can explain the operational differences and recommend an appropriate option.
