Can my employees use their phones instead of carrying a fob?

Yes. Modern commercial access control supports mobile credentials, so employees can unlock doors using their smartphone via Bluetooth or NFC. Most systems we install support both phone-based access and traditional key fobs, so you can mix and match based on what each employee prefers.

How fast can I revoke a former employee's access?

Instantly. From your phone or laptop, you can disable a user and the change propagates to every door across every site in seconds. The action is logged in your audit trail, and if you use Okta, Microsoft Entra, or Google Workspace, deactivation can sync automatically when HR offboards the employee.

Will I have to replace my doors or existing hardware?

Not always. Most commercial doors can be retrofitted with new readers, strikes, or maglocks without replacing the door itself. We assess your existing hardware first and only recommend replacements where the current setup cannot support modern access control reliably.

Can access control integrate with my cameras and alarm system?

Yes. NTEX access control integrates with most major camera and alarm platforms, including Alarm.com, Avigilon, Verkada, and ONVIF-compliant systems. Tying access events to cameras and alarms means that when a door is forced or an alarm triggers, the relevant footage is pulled up automatically for review or response.

How much does a commercial access control system cost?

It depends on the number of doors, the credentials you choose, and any integration with existing systems. After a free site walk, you receive a line-item proposal that shows exactly what each piece costs, so there are no surprises later

Do you require long-term contracts?

No. We don't lock customers into multi-year contracts. You own your hardware. Cloud-based access control platforms typically have month-to-month or annual subscription options, and we'll be upfront about which one applies before you sign anything.

Plan Your Access Control System

Tell us about your building and how you want it secured. We'll send back a door-by-door plan and a flat monthly price.

Cloud-Based & Future-Proof

Manage every door from any device. Software updates and new features roll out automatically — no costly system replacements down the road.

Friendly Local Installation

A real North Texas technician designs and installs your system, then stays on call for support. No outsourced help desks, no confusing tickets.

Transparent Flat Pricing

One clear monthly price per door. No surprise hardware fees, no locked-in long-term contracts, no fine-print upgrades.

THE PROBLEM

Keys, codes, and spreadsheets stopped scaling years ago.

Most North Texas business still tracks door access on a clipboard, a hidden lockbox, or a key ring everyone copies. It is slow, leaky, and impossible to audit. Modern access control fixes all of that.

Lost keys, copied fobs

Every lost key is a rekey bill or a security risk you choose to ignore. Fobs get copied at kiosks for $5. There is no way to know who walked in last night.

Ex-employees with active access

Someone leaves on a Friday. Their fob still works on Monday. You hope nobody notices. Cloud access control disables them in seconds and logs that it happened.

No audit trail when something happens

Theft, vandalism, an after-hours visitor. Without an access log there is no way to answer who, when, or which door. Insurance and HR can do nothing with a shrug.

Multiple sites, multiple keyrings

Each location has its own locksmith, its own master, its own mess. One owner trying to manage doors across Mesquite, Forney, Plano and Waxahachie ends up managing none of them.

After-hours nobody should be there

Cleaning crews, weekend deliveries, the manager who comes in at 5am. You want them in. You also want to know if someone else got in too. Schedules and alerts handle both.

Old panel, expensive rip-and-replace

You inherited a legacy system from 2008 and no one will support it. Most clients are surprised how much of their door hardware we can keep when upgrading to modern access control.

How Commercial Access Control Works

Present credential. Verify. Unlock. Log every action.

A real access control system is more than a keypad on the wall. AI-grade readers, smart controllers, and cloud management put every door, every person and every entry on one timeline.

Present a credential

Mobile phone, key fob, prox card, PIN code, or fingerprint. Every employee, vendor and tenant gets their own digital identity.

Smart reader verifies

The reader checks the credential against your rules. Right person? Right door? Right time-of-day? Yes? Unlock. No? Deny and log.

Cloud logs the event

Every grant, every denial, every forced-door alarm streams to the cloud. Pull a report for any door, person, or date range in seconds.

Alerts when it matters

Door propped open. Failed PIN attempts. Access at 3am. You get a push, an email or an SMS the moment something looks off.

What’s Included

A complete access control stack, built around your doors.

Every NTEX access control system combines smart readers, cloud management and integration with your cameras and alarm. Per door, per site, per shift.

Mobile & Multi-Credential

Phones, fobs, prox cards, PIN, biometrics. Issue, replace and revoke from a single dashboard.

Cloud Management Platform

One web and mobile dashboard for every door, every site, every credential. Change rules from anywhere.

Real-Time Alerts & Audit

Forced-door, door-held-open, after-hours, repeated denials. Every event is timestamped and reportable.

Video + Alarm Integration

Every door event ties to a video clip and an alarm zone. One pane of glass for the whole site.

QUESTIONS

Things Business Owners Ask Us About Commercial Access Control.

NTEX Security installs and services commercial access control across Dallas, Rockwall, Kaufman, Ellis, and Collin Counties. That includes Dallas, Mesquite, Garland, Richardson, Rockwall, Rowlett, Heath, Forney, Terrell, Kaufman, Waxahachie, Midlothian, Ennis, Plano, Frisco, McKinney, Allen, and Wylie, along with the surrounding North Texas communities. If your business is in the DFW area and you're not sure if we cover you, send us your address and we'll confirm in a day.

Yes. Our cloud-managed access control systems issue mobile credentials over Bluetooth and NFC. Your team unlocks doors from their phone in their pocket, no app fumble, no fob to lose. Apple Wallet credentials are supported on most platforms we install. You can mix mobile, fob, card, PIN and biometric on the same door.

Instantly. From your phone or laptop, disable the user. The change propagates to every door across every site in seconds, and the action is logged in your audit trail (who disabled, when, from where). If your business uses Okta, Microsoft Entra or Google Workspace, we can sync deactivation automatically when HR offboards them. For businesses that want eyes on the building during and after sensitive offboarding, we also offer AI-powered video monitoring that flags unusual activity in real time.

In most cases, no. We retrofit existing commercial doors with electric strikes, maglocks, or modern exit hardware. Most prox cards and fobs (HID, MIFARE, DESFire and 26-bit Wiegand) can be enrolled into the new platform so you do not have to re-issue every credential. We tell you exactly what is reusable in the written assessment.

Yes. We integrate access events with video and intrusion so every door open, denied attempt or forced-entry is tied to a video clip and an alarm zone. Pair it with our live video monitoring and a real agent can respond in real time when a door is forced after hours. You can also arm and disarm the alarm panel with the same credential that unlocks the door.

It depends on door count, hardware condition, and whether you want video and alarm tied in. A typical 2 to 5 door office with cloud management lands in a predictable range that we quote line-item, no surprises. After the free site assessment you get a fixed proposal with hardware, install, training, and the monthly cloud cost broken out so you can decide what scope to start with.

No. NTEX access control is sold as hardware plus a month-to-month cloud subscription. We do not lock you into multi-year contracts to get reasonable pricing. If we are not earning your business every month, you should be free to leave.
