Sophisticated Entry Management for Modern Facilities
The days of managing heavy key rings are over. At Knell’s, we provide robust commercial electronic access control systems that offer precision, flexibility, and enhanced security for your facility. As a leading best commercial access control supplier in Southwestern Ontario, we don’t just sell hardware; we integrate it into your building’s existing ecosystem.
With our “One-Stop” approach, our Security Integration team (building on the G&A Lock Services legacy established in 1966) manages everything from the physical strike and lock to the software and credentials. For property managers and institutional clients, this means a cohesive system where the door, the closer, and the card reader work in perfect harmony.
Advanced Employee & Visitor Management
We design commercial employee access systems that allow you to track movements, restrict sensitive areas, and revoke access instantly – all from a central dashboard.
- Commercial Access Control Installation: Our certified technicians handle the wiring, hardware mounting, and software configuration for a turn-key security solution.
- Commercial Access Control Fobs & Credentials: Move beyond physical keys with secure fobs, cards, or biometrics. We provide high-security credentials that are virtually impossible to duplicate.
- Commercial Smartphone Access Control Systems: Modernize your facility with mobile credentials. Our cloud-based systems allow employees to use their smartphones as digital keys, providing a frictionless experience.
- Commercial Intercom Systems: Manage visitors and deliveries with high-definition audio and video intercoms. These systems integrate directly with your access control to allow remote door release.
