A key you can't take back is a hole in your security.
Mechanical keys feel simple until you do the math. Someone quits and keeps their key. A key gets copied at the hardware store. A vendor needs access on Tuesdays only, but the key you hand them works every hour of every day, forever, and the day you need to know who opened the back door at 11 p.m., the honest answer is you can't. Access control turns "who has a key?" into a question you can answer instantly and change in seconds.
Credentials that fit how your people actually work.
Keycards & fobs
01The familiar standard, cheap to issue, instant to deactivate, and easy to manage across a mixed workforce.
PIN / keypad entry
02Code-based access for areas where you'd rather not issue a physical credential at all.
Mobile credentials
03The badge lives on the phone your team already carries, nothing to print, lose, or hand back at the door.
Multi-door, multi-site
04One system governing every door across every location, administered from a single dashboard.
Door hardware
05Electric strikes, magnetic locks, request-to-exit sensors, and door contacts, wired to fail secure and code-compliant for life safety.
Audit logs & reporting
06Every entry time-stamped, who opened which door, when, granted or denied, ready for HR, investigations, and compliance.
Cloud or on-site, recommended for your rules, not ours.
Both work, and we'll walk you through the trade-off plainly. Cloud-managed means you administer doors, credentials, and reports from any browser with no server to maintain, ideal for multiple sites and lean teams. On-premise controllers keep everything inside your own walls, which some security and compliance postures require. We recommend based on your size, your sites, and your rules.
Access control questions, answered.
What is a commercial access control system?+
It's an electronic system that controls and records entry to your building using credentials, keycards, fobs, PINs, or mobile badges, instead of mechanical keys. You decide who can open which doors and when, deactivate access instantly when someone leaves, and get a time-stamped log of every entry.
Can I give someone access to only certain doors or certain times?+
Yes. Access is set per-person, per-door, and per-schedule. A vendor can get the loading dock on weekdays only; a manager can get every door, anytime; a seasonal hire gets exactly what their role needs and nothing more, all changed in seconds from one dashboard.
What happens when an employee leaves?+
You deactivate their credential in seconds and it's done, no rekeying locks, no chasing down a physical key that may already be copied. That single capability is one of the biggest reasons businesses move off mechanical keys.
Does access control integrate with my security cameras?+
Yes, when both run on one platform. A door event can pull up the camera on that door, so you don't just have a record that someone entered, you have the footage of it. LRG installs both, so they're designed to work together from day one.
Cloud-managed or on-premise, which should I choose?+
Cloud-managed is easier to run and ideal for multiple sites and lean teams; on-premise keeps everything inside your walls and is sometimes required by security or compliance rules. We recommend based on your situation in a security assessment, not on a default.
