What is Keyless Entry?
Keyless entry allows users to unlock doors without physical keys. Access is granted through PIN codes, RFID cards or fobs, biometric scans, smartphone apps, or voice recognition. These systems simplify entry management, eliminate rekeying costs, and improve business security. Many local businesses use keyless entry for staff entrances, storage rooms, and multi-suite offices to avoid the confusion and security risks of managing multiple mechanical keys.
Types of Keyless Entry Devices for Access Control
Standalone Access Control Systems
Standalone access control units operate independently at each door without a building-wide network. They are cost-effective options for businesses that want electronic entry without complex IT infrastructure.
Our technicians install keypad locks, card readers, maglocks, and electronic locking devices on wood, steel, or aluminum doors. We program user credentials during installation and test each system to confirm secure, smooth operation. Standalone systems work well for:
- Staff entrances, storage rooms, and employee-only exits
- Separate suites in multi-tenant buildings or medical offices
We explain how to manage codes or cards directly at the unit so your team can add or remove users as needed.
Benefits of Keyless Entry for Your Business
Businesses choose keyless entry and access control systems to improve daily operations, and our team will help you configure the best system based on your property size, layout, and security needs, ensuring it integrates seamlessly with existing doors and hardware. Here are some of the top benefits:
- Enhanced security without the risk of lost or copied keys
- Convenient user management for staff, vendors, and maintenance teams
- Cost savings by avoiding frequent rekeying or lock replacements
- Increased property value and modern security appeal

FAQs About Access Control Systems
What is a standalone access control system?
A standalone access control system manages entry at a single door using access credentials like PINs, key cards, or fobs. It operates independently and does not require a cloud-based system or centralized access control software connection. These systems are ideal for securing specific areas without needing to integrate with computer networks or broader management systems.
Can I manage users without a computer?
Yes. Most access control systems allow you to add or remove user credentials directly at the device. There is no need for a control panel or external software to update access permissions, which makes these systems easier to manage for small business owners.
Are standalone systems suitable for small businesses?
Yes. Standalone electronic access control systems are a practical solution for small businesses. They offer enhanced security and controlled access without the complexity of larger, cloud-based access control solutions. These systems are especially useful for managing specific areas like staff entrances or supply rooms.
Do you install access control on exterior doors?
Yes. We install electronic access control hardware on both interior and exterior commercial doors. Door controllers are mounted near entry points and work with your existing locking hardware or upgraded components when needed.
Can I set time-based access for users?
Some standalone access systems support access rights that limit entry to certain hours. These time-based permissions can help with shift-based access management and are useful for preventing unauthorized access during off-hours.
Will I need to replace my existing lock?
Not always. We can often connect access control readers to existing systems. However, if your current lock cannot support electronic control, we may recommend replacing mechanical keys and updating the locking hardware for full compatibility.
How many users can be added to a system?
That depends on the specific access controller. Many systems store multiple access control credentials and support dozens of unique users. We’ll confirm capacity based on your security needs during installation planning.
Can I use mobile credentials to unlock the door?
Some electronic access control systems offer mobile access control using a smartphone or mobile device. Standard standalone models use key cards or PINs. If you require mobile phone credentials or touchless access, let us know during scheduling so we can check compatibility.
How do I schedule installation of an access control system?
Call Affordable Locksmith LLC to schedule an appointment. We’ll review your door layout, discuss your access management goals, and determine your business’s best access control solution. All installations are performed by appointment throughout Milwaukee and Waukesha Counties.
