A card and fob system works like this: a reader checks the badge, then unlocks the door for a set time. We install the reader, controller, and power supply, then test every card in North Vancouver. If you want a PIN back-up, our keypad entry systems are a strong fit. For a simple overview, these RFID basics explain how tags and readers talk.
Many families in Lynn Valley and Upper Lonsdale choose door access control systems so kids do not need spare keys. You can set one fob for each person, and turn off a lost one fast. If you want two-way talk at the front door, add intercom system installation too. It is a smart choice for laneway homes, rental suites, and small strata lobbies in North Vancouver.
Before we start, we do a quick walk-through of your doors, locks, and power spots. We check cable routes and where your reader will sit, so it looks clean and works well. In North Vancouver, this matters for busy entries near Capilano Mall and Marine Drive. We keep wires hidden, label parts, and leave simple notes so you can manage users later.
For offices and shops, you need to know who came in and when. We handle commercial access control systems installation in North Vancouver for retail, warehouses, and strata buildings near The Shipyards. Give staff cards, set time schedules, and revoke access when someone leaves. Want a key-free deadbolt on one door? Add smart lock installation for a clean upgrade.

Key fobs are fast, but good rules make them safer. We can set door-held-open alerts and simple reports so you spot tailgating. This helps homes near Deep Cove and businesses close to the Lions Gate Bridge. If you also have a parkade or driveway arm, our gate and entry control systems keep vehicles moving while staying secure.
Every install starts with a plan. We ask how many doors you want on the system today, and which doors you may add later. We also talk about who needs access, like staff, cleaners, or delivery teams. In North Vancouver, we often plan around busy lobby times and parking access, so the building runs smooth.
Next, we mount the reader, run the cable, and connect the controller and power. We set the unlock time so the door is not held open too long. If you want one place where guests can buzz in, pairing the system with intercom system installation makes check-ins easy. We test the lock, the strike, and the exit button before we leave.
Then we program your cards and fobs. We can name users, add groups, and set schedules for doors that should stay locked at night. We show you how to add new staff and how to delete a lost fob right away. We also set a simple back-up list so you always know which badge number belongs to which person.
Last, we do a full test. We check each door, each reader light, and each credential. We make sure the door closes tight and that the emergency exit still works right. Before we go, we train one or two people and answer questions. If you need help later, we can return for updates, repairs, and new fobs.
Protech Security Systems keeps the job simple. We show up on time, protect your walls and floors, and clean up after the install. We train your staff so changing users is easy, even if you are not “techy.” If you manage a small strata in Lower Lonsdale or a shop on Lonsdale Avenue, we can help you pick the right cards and readers. Call (778) 951-2033.
Price depends on a few things. The biggest cost drivers are how many doors you want, how far the wiring runs, and which card or fob type you choose. Older buildings in North Vancouver, like some near Pemberton Heights, can need extra cable paths. We give clear quotes and explain options, from basic single-door control to multi-door systems with logs and schedules.
Yes. After we finish your fob system installation, we can enroll more cards or fobs at any time. Most systems let you add users, name them, and set what doors they can open. In North Vancouver strata buildings, you can also limit access to parkades or storage rooms. Protech Security Systems can supply new credentials and help you keep a clean, up-to-date list.
Tell us right away if a fob is missing. We can disable that badge number so it will not unlock any door. Then we can issue a new card or fob and assign it to the right person. This is one big reason people choose door access control systems instead of keys. It is fast, and it helps you stay in control.
It depends on the number of doors and how the building is wired. A simple one-door setup can be done in a short visit, while a multi-door lobby and parkade can take longer. We plan the work so you still have safe entry during the day. For a helpful idea of timing, see our installation timeline guide, then call (778) 951-2033 to book.
Most fobs are passive, so there is no battery to change. Problems usually come from damage, water, or heavy wear. Sometimes the reader is dirty, the door hardware is out of line, or the fob was never added to the system. If the door is not closing fully, the lock may also fail to release. We can test the fob and the reader and fix the cause.
