Access Control Systems

Scalable commercial access control — from single doors to enterprise multi-site systems — designed and installed by PCS across Utah.

Overview

Control Who Gets In — Everywhere

Powered Control Systems designs and installs commercial access control systems for facilities of every size across Utah. Whether you need a single controlled entry point for a small office or a fully integrated enterprise system managing hundreds of doors across multiple properties, PCS has the expertise to design and deploy the right solution.

Our access control installations integrate seamlessly with video surveillance, intrusion alarm, and fire alarm systems — providing a unified security platform rather than a collection of disconnected systems. This integration is one of the key advantages of working with PCS across multiple system types.

We install systems from leading manufacturers and configure them for your specific access policies, user groups, and schedules. We also provide training, ongoing support, and system expansions as your facility grows.

Why Choose PCS

The PCS Difference

Systems Integration

PCS integrates access control with VSS/CCTV, intrusion, and fire alarm — one unified security ecosystem rather than four separate vendors.

From a single entry to enterprise, multi-site deployments — we right-size the system for your needs today and plan for growth tomorrow.

Security-First Design

Our engineers assess your facility's access points, risk areas, and user groups before recommending a system architecture.

Ongoing Support

After installation, PCS provides credential management, programming updates, and 24/7 support to keep your system running.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Proximity cards (125kHz) use older, less secure technology that can be easily cloned. Smart cards (13.56MHz) use encrypted communication and are significantly more secure. PCS recommends smart card or mobile credential systems for new installations due to their superior security.

Yes — access control systems can and should integrate with fire alarm systems so that doors automatically unlock during an alarm event, facilitating egress. PCS coordinates this integration as part of every access control installation.

Yes. PCS installs and configures centralized management platforms that allow you to manage credentials, access schedules, and audit trails across unlimited locations from a single interface.

Timing depends on the number of doors, wiring runs, system complexity, and coordination with other trades. A small single-site system can move quickly, while a large enterprise or multi-site deployment takes more coordination. PCS sets a schedule at kickoff and coordinates installation to minimize disruption to building operations.
