Why there is no single price
Two buildings with the same number of doors can have very different costs. The biggest drivers are the condition of each door, the type of lock it needs, how far the cable has to run, and whether you want local software or a cloud subscription. A clean glass storefront, a fire-rated stairwell door, and an outdoor gate are three very different jobs.
The main cost components
- Door hardware: electric strike, maglock, electrified exit device, or electrified lever
- Readers and credentials: cards, fobs, mobile credentials, or keypads
- Controller and power supplies sized for the number of doors
- Cabling and pathways, especially in finished ceilings or long runs
- Software, licensing, or monthly cloud fees
- Labor for installation, programming, and testing
Ways to control the budget
Reuse good existing cable and hardware when testing shows it is sound. Phase the project so the most important doors are done first. Pick one credential standard for the whole site. Choose a platform your team can actually manage, because an unused feature is still a cost.
How to get an accurate number
The quickest route is to text photos of each door, the frame, and any existing reader or panel to 714-584-7541, along with the number of doors and the type of building. That lets us give a useful range before a site visit.
