Control Who Gets In — And Keep a Record
Access control is one of the most practical security upgrades a DFW business can make. Instead of physical keys that get copied, lost, or handed off without your knowledge, a modern access control system lets you manage entry credentials digitally — and revoke them instantly when an employee leaves or a situation changes.
Cadena Security designs and installs access control systems for commercial buildings, warehouses, offices, multi-tenant properties, churches, medical facilities, and residential estates across Fort Worth, Arlington, Hurst, Euless, Bedford, North Richland Hills, and the broader DFW Metroplex.
What Access Control Covers
A complete access control installation goes beyond a card reader on a door. We handle the full stack:
Credential Readers
Key fobs, proximity cards, PIN keypads, and mobile credentials. We match the right credential type to your security level and workflow.
Biometric Devices
Fingerprint readers and facial recognition for high-security areas requiring positive identity verification, not just credential possession.
Electric Door Hardware
Electromagnetic locks, electric strikes, and door position sensors. Properly chosen so doors fail safely — never trapping people inside during a power outage.
Cloud Management Software
Real-time access logs, remote unlock, scheduled time windows, and instant credential revocation from any device. No on-site server required.
Integration with Video Surveillance
Access control is more powerful when paired with video surveillance. When a credential is used at a door, you can pull the camera feed for that entry point — a visual record of exactly who walked through. Cadena Security designs integrated systems that make this seamless and automatic.
Common DFW Deployments
Server room protection for IT infrastructure, back-of-house control in restaurants and retail, executive floor restrictions in multi-story offices, tool crib control in industrial settings, and perimeter access for gated industrial parks and apartment communities throughout the DFW area.
What Does Access Control Cost?
Pricing depends on the number of doors, credential type, cloud subscription requirements, and door hardware complexity. A single-door office system costs significantly less than a 20-door enterprise deployment. Cadena Security provides free, itemized quotes — call (682) 277-9690 or request a quote online.
