Access Control System Installation for Commercial Facilities
Key control is a facility-wide problem: master keys get copied, doors get propped, and after-hours access is impossible to manage. Wilcox International installs and integrates access control systems for commercial and industrial facilities across Canada and the United States — pairing card readers, keypads, and electric locking hardware with commercial doors, gates, and dock equipment that are already built for high-cycle use.
What We Install
Every facility is different. We assess your openings, traffic patterns, and security requirements before recommending a system — then install it properly the first time, integrated with the doors and gates it controls.
- Card and credential readers: proximity, smart-card, and mobile-credential systems for staff and visitor access
- Keypad and PIN entry systems: standalone or networked, for low-traffic and restricted openings
- Electric strikes and magnetic locks: integrated with commercial doors, fire doors, and man-doors
- Door operators and auto-reopen systems: for high-traffic entrances requiring controlled access and hands-free operation
- Gate and overhead door integration: controlling vehicle access at gates, truck doors, and secured dock areas
- Audit-friendly access levels: role-based schedules, temporary credentials for contractors, and activity logging where required
Facilities We Serve
Access control pays off fastest in facilities where many people, vehicles, and doors interact every day:
- Warehouses and distribution centers: separating dock access from general circulation
- Manufacturing plants: restricting production areas, equipment rooms, and utility spaces
- Food processing and cold storage: controlling hygiene zones and restricted access points
- Property management and multi-tenant buildings: managing tenant, contractor, and after-hours access
- Government and public-sector facilities: audit trails and scheduled access control
- Healthcare and pharmaceutical facilities: securing pharmacies, labs, and controlled substance storage
Why Facilities Choose Wilcox International
Most access control installers stop at the electronics. We start with the door. A card reader on a door that is out of adjustment, has a failing closer, or is not fire-rated compliant is a security system that fails on the mechanical side — so we handle the complete opening: door, hardware, locking system, and access control, under one contract.
- Over a century in business, servicing facilities across North America since 1912
- One accountable partner for doors, docks, gates, and access control
- Installation crews experienced with high-cycle industrial environments
- Ongoing service and 24/7 emergency support across Canada and the United States
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you add access control to our existing doors?
In most cases, yes. We assess each opening for compatibility with electric strikes or maglocks, check fire-rated openings for compliant hardware, and identify any doors that need adjustment or repair before the access system goes in. A free on-site assessment covers all of this before you commit.
Do you service the systems you install?
Yes. We install, adjust, and service access control hardware alongside the doors and gates it operates — one partner for the complete opening, with 24/7 emergency support.
Do you work across North America?
Yes. Wilcox International services facilities across Canada and the United States, including large multi-site and multi-state operations.
