Security, much like the spare tire in a quality family sedan, is something we all hope we'll never need but wouldn't want to go through life without.  And while many of the elements in a security system may never be activated, there is one feature which is used several times a day and quickly becomes indispensable.

          Access Control is the term used to describe automated systems that allow or restrict one's ability to enter a given area.  Doors, windows, gates and bollards are just a few of the barriers that are used in conjunction with these wonderfully convenient systems.  No longer restricted to government securing and top secret installations, the reliability and cost of these once exotic systems have entered the mainstream.  Biometrics (finger print readers), proximity (object readers), face recognition and retina scanners are now widely used.  For example, grocery stores in southern California have installed biometric readers to verify their shoppers' identification.

          The need for guards, keys or card readers has given way to these new systems which are rapidly becoming commonplace rather then the exception in quality single family residences.  's innovative use of these technologies affords our clients an extraordinary level of security and convenience while continuing to set and redefine the highest standard in the industry.

          Once a client experiences the convenience of being able to open any given door to her Colorado chalet for an unexpected guest from her cell phone while dining at a street-side café in Paris, or the ability to control access to all 60 of the doors in his upper east side brownstone during a cocktail party for 50 guests without the help of a dozen security guards, or checking-in on the staff of anyone of their superyachts by viewing their exteriors or cabins on their cell phone from any location in the world, the benefits of access control become obvious.  Of course, for the rest of us on planet earth, access control is also a practical way to insure that only those permitted to enter our homes, children's bedrooms and master suites can do so.
