Access Control & Key Fob Systems

Yes — reprogramming a key fob for an office access control system is a standard service for our commercial locksmith team. The process varies depending on the access control platform your building uses. On most proximity-card and fob systems, we read the controller's credential database, add the new fob's unique ID, and test it at the reader within minutes. If the original fob was lost, we can also delete that credential remotely from the controller so the old fob no longer works, eliminating the security gap without replacing any hardware. Call 862-282-1577 and have your panel model handy if you know it — that helps us bring the right programming equipment on the first visit.

There is no single price because the scope varies widely. Factors that shape the final quote include the number of doors, the type of credential reader (card, fob, keypad, or biometric), whether the existing door prep accepts the mortise lock body we are installing or needs a new pocket cut, the complexity of the wiring run, any after-hours service premium, and travel distance to your Parsippany-Troy Hills location. We assess every job in person and give you a complete, itemized price before any work begins — so you know exactly what you are paying and why, with no surprise charges afterward.

An electric strike replaces the stationary strike plate in the door frame and releases the latch electronically when a valid credential is presented — the lock body itself remains mechanical. A mortise lock access control setup, by contrast, integrates the electronic function into the lock body itself, either through a motorized bolt, an electrified cylinder, or a motorized clutch. Mortise lock systems are generally stronger, better suited for high-traffic commercial doors, and more difficult to defeat mechanically. Our technicians will recommend the right approach after examining your door frame, door thickness, and traffic volume — both solutions have legitimate use cases depending on the application.

This is exactly why we operate 24/7. A failed card reader, a mortise lock that will not retract, a blown power supply, or a controller that has lost its credential database can all lock your team out at any hour. When you call 862-282-1577, a technician is dispatched to your Parsippany-Troy Hills location immediately. We will diagnose whether the issue is a hardware fault, a wiring problem, or a software/firmware failure and resolve it on site. If a component needs to be replaced entirely, we carry a range of commercial lock and access control hardware on the vehicle so most access control system repairs can be completed in a single visit without a return trip.

Tipping is entirely optional and never expected. Our technicians are paid professionals — trained and insured — and the quoted price for the job reflects the full value of the work. If a technician goes above and beyond, a tip is always appreciated, but please never feel obligated. The best way to recognize good service is to call us again for your next project and to let other Parsippany businesses know about your experience.

Yes. Glass storefront doors present a unique hardware challenge because standard mortise lock preps do not apply to frameless or narrow-stile aluminum doors. We use patch fittings and narrow-stile electric locks designed specifically for glass door applications, and we pair them with surface-mounted or recessed card readers depending on the aesthetic and security requirements. We handle the full installation — hardware fitting, wiring, reader programming, and credential setup — so your storefront has electronic access control without compromising the appearance of the glass entry. Call 862-282-1577 to schedule a site assessment and we will confirm the right hardware approach for your specific door configuration.
