Access Control

Control who enters your building — with professionally installed access control and intercom systems for businesses, multi-housing and commercial properties.

Modern access control isn’t just about software or readers — it requires the right door hardware, installed and integrated correctly, to function safely and reliably.

SHARC designs and installs new commercial access control systems, including intercom solutions and electronic door hardware, for businesses and commercial properties across Edmonton and surrounding areas. Our systems are built to manage doors, users, and entry points — and to integrate properly with automatic door operators where required.  We do it all.

WHAT WE DO (ACCESS CONTROL SYSTEM SALES + INSTALLATION)

1) Access Control Systems (New Installations)

We design and install access control systems that manage:

  • Entry doors and restricted areas
  • User credentials (cards, fobs, mobile credentials, PINs)
  • Time schedules and permission levels
  • Centralized control panels and management software
  • Secure audit logs showing access activity

Systems are designed to scale — whether you’re securing a few doors or an entire facility.

2) Intercom Systems (Integrated Entry Control)

Intercoms are a key part of modern controlled-entry systems, especially at main entrances, reception points, and shared access doors.

We install commercial-grade intercom systems that allow staff, tenants, or administrators to:

  • See and speak with visitors at the door
  • Verify identity before granting access
  • Unlock doors remotely from an interior station or mobile device
  • Maintain secure entry without leaving their workstation

 

Intercom system options may include:

  • Video intercoms with camera and two-way audio
  • Touchscreen or directory-based entry panels
  • Mobile-enabled intercoms for remote answering
  • Systems designed for durability in commercial environments

 

We install and support intercom platforms such as Mircom and ButterflyMX, selecting the right solution based on the building type, entry flow, and security requirements.

3) Electronic Door Hardware & Operator Integration

Access control systems rely on the correct door hardware to operate safely and reliably.

We supply and install the electronic door hardware required for access control and intercom systems, including:

  • Electric strikes and magnetic locks
  • Electronic mortise locks and exit devices
  • Door position switches and request-to-exit devices
  • Power supplies and control interfaces

 

Where required, we also integrate access control systems with automatic door operators, ensuring:

  • Proper sequencing between access control and door automation
  • Safe and code-compliant operation
  • A clean, unified solution rather than fragmented systems

 

This single-provider approach reduces coordination issues and ensures the entire door system works together as intended.

Core Features of a Modern Access Control System

A properly designed access control system delivers more than locked doors:

  • Audit trails showing who accessed which doors and when

  • Mobile credential support for modern workplaces

  • Intercom-based visitor verification at primary entrances

  • Integration-ready design for alarms and surveillance
