Our Services
Installation & Programming
We handle every part of the installation process — from hardware mounting to network setup and programming — so that when we’re done, your system is live, functional, and ready for residents or staff to use immediately. Our detailed programming ensures reliability from day one, saving you from costly rework or system downtime later.
Software Setup & Integration
Once your hardware is in place, we configure and connect your smart locks to the software platforms you use most — including Yardi, AppFolio, Buildium, etc. By integrating everything into a single system, we make managing access simple and seamless for your team, without extra logins or disconnected tools.
Property Management Training
We don’t just install and leave. We walk your team through how to use and manage the system confidently — from adding new tenants to resetting locks or granting maintenance access. This hands-on training saves time, reduces support requests, and ensures your staff can handle day-to-day access control with ease.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you provide hardware, or install what’s supplied by others?
We can do both — install owner-supplied hardware or source and supply smart locks as part of a turnkey package.
Do you handle access control or just the locks?
We handle the full scope of smart lock installation and programming, and coordinate with low-voltage or access control teams to ensure everything works seamlessly.
Do you meet on-site safety requirements?
Absolutely. Our technicians are OSHA-compliant, background-checked, and trained to follow GC site protocols.
Can you program and test the locks before turnover?
Yes — we fully program, test, and verify all locks before final inspection to ensure a smooth handoff to property management.
Do you train property managers or maintenance staff?
Yes — after installation, we provide hands-on training or virtual sessions to ensure staff can manage, add, and remove access easily.
