BUILT AROUND YOUR PROPERTY.

The right people. The right doors.

The right people. The right doors.

We design access control around your doors, the people using them, and the way the property actually operates—not around a standard access package.

ACCESS CONTROL / THE BASICS

WHAT IS ACCESS CONTROL?

WHAT IS ACCESS CONTROL?

Access control is a security system that manages who can enter specific doors, gates, or areas—and when they’re allowed to enter. Instead of relying entirely on traditional keys, access can be managed through cards, key fobs, mobile credentials, keypads, and other authentication methods.

Modern access control systems can give property owners and managers much more control over entry. Credentials can be added or removed, access can be limited by time or location, and activity can be reviewed without having to replace physical locks every time access changes.

But the reader on the wall is only one part of the system. Doors, locking hardware, controllers, power, credentials, network connectivity, permissions, and the way people actually move through the property all determine whether an access-control system works well.

ACCESS CONTROL / WHY IT MATTERS

WHEN DOES ACCESS CONTROL MAKE SENSE?

WHEN DOES ACCESS CONTROL MAKE SENSE?

When managing who can go where becomes more important than simply locking the door.

When managing who can go where becomes more important than simply locking the door.

01

CONTROL WHO GETS IN

Give the right people access to the right doors without handing out unrestricted physical keys.

02

CHANGE ACCESS WITHOUT CHANGING LOCKS

Add, remove, or modify credentials when employees, residents, vendors, or other users change.

03

MANAGE WHEN AND WHERE PEOPLE HAVE ACCESS

Create permissions around specific doors, areas, schedules, or user groups.

04

KNOW HOW ENTRY POINTS ARE BEING USED

Access activity can provide useful visibility into when credentials are used and at which controlled entrances.

05

CONNECT ACCESS WITH THE REST OF SECURITY

Access control becomes more useful when doors, cameras, intercom, intrusion detection, and other security systems work together.

ACCESS CONTROL / BUILT RIGHT

THE READER IS EASY. THE DOOR IS THE SYSTEM.

THE READER IS EASY. THE DOOR IS THE SYSTEM.

Good access control requires more than mounting a card reader beside a door. The entire opening—and the way people need to use it—has to be considered.

Good access control requires more than mounting a card reader beside a door. The entire opening—and the way people need to use it—has to be considered.

THE DOOR
Existing door construction, frames, entrances, gates, and how the opening currently operates affect the design.

LOCKING HARDWARE
The appropriate locking method has to work with the door, access-control system, and required entry and exit behavior.

READERS & CREDENTIALS
Determine how users will identify themselves through cards, fobs, mobile credentials, keypads, or other appropriate methods.

CONTROLLERS & POWER
Readers and locking hardware need properly designed controllers, power, and supporting equipment.

PERMISSIONS
Determine who gets access, where they get access, and when.

NETWORK & MANAGEMENT
Connected systems may require network connectivity, management software, cloud services, or centralized administration.

THAT’S WHY MAINSTREET STARTS WITH THE PROPERTY AND THE DOOR—NOT THE READER CATALOG.
