HSM IT ServicesAccess Control Systems in Sherwood Park
Card, fob and mobile door access tied to your staff accounts, so access ends when employment does.
For Sherwood Park businesses with seasonal or high-turnover staff, linking door access to onboarding and offboarding means credentials are issued and removed alongside computer accounts, without relying on someone remembering keys.
Keys are difficult to control. They get copied, lost and never returned, and changing locks after someone leaves is expensive enough that it often does not happen. Electronic access control replaces keys with cards, fobs or mobile credentials that can be issued, limited and revoked centrally. HSM IT Services designs and installs access control for entrances, server rooms, medication rooms, records storage and other sensitive areas, with door controllers, readers and locking hardware matched to each opening.
Access is assigned by role and schedule. Staff can be limited to certain doors and hours, contractors can receive temporary credentials and every door event is logged, so you can see who entered where and when. Systems can be managed in the cloud, letting authorized administrators lock or unlock doors and adjust access from anywhere. We place controllers on a secured network segment and keep firmware and software current, applying the same security discipline as other connected systems.

Access Control Systems in Sherwood Park: questions
How does access control connect to IT onboarding and offboarding?
When HSM IT Services manages both your IT and your access control, door credentials become part of the same checklist as email, computer and application accounts. A new hire's access is set up before their first day, and a departure removes door access at the same time as other accounts, closing a gap that often leaves buildings exposed.
Can we keep our existing door hardware?
Sometimes. Depending on the doors, frames and existing locks, it may be possible to add readers and electric strikes or maglocks to current hardware. Some openings need new hardware to meet safety and building code requirements, particularly exit doors. We assess each door and coordinate with qualified door hardware and electrical trades as needed.
Can HSM IT Services install access control at our Sherwood Park building?
Yes. For buildings in Sherwood Park, we survey each door, design the system, coordinate any door hardware and electrical work, and install and configure readers and controllers. Work is licensed where required and completed alongside qualified trades. After installation, we manage the system as part of your HSM IT Services services.
