Door-level access control for Atlanta-area commercial buildings — card readers, mobile credentials, electrified hardware, and head-end controllers, designed and installed by a licensed Georgia low-voltage contractor.
Access control is not just a card reader on a wall. A properly engineered system addresses the full door opening — electrified hardware, request-to-exit, door contact, power supply, conduit, controller location, fire alarm integration, and software platform. JB Technologies designs and installs complete access control systems for commercial construction, tenant improvements, and retrofit projects nationwide.
We install proximity, smart card, and mobile credential readers on standard and specialty door applications. Readers are configured to match your security zones, time schedules, and access group structure.
We coordinate and install electric strikes, magnetic locks, electrified exit devices, and electrified cylindrical and mortise locks — selecting the right hardware for each opening based on door type, frame construction, and life safety requirements.
We install and program door controllers, power supplies, and access control software platforms. Networked systems are configured for real-time monitoring, remote management, and reporting across both on-premise and cloud platforms.
Access control doors in life safety applications must fail in the correct position on alarm. We coordinate all fire alarm release wiring, verify fail-safe vs. fail-secure hardware selection, and test integration sequences including elevator lockout and stairwell door release.
Access control requirements vary by occupancy, security tier, and building use. JB Technologies has installed code-compliant systems across a wide range of commercial facility types nationwide.
Multi-tenant and single-tenant office buildings with lobby turnstiles, elevator control, secure floor access, and cloud-managed credential platforms.
Hospital and medical office building access control with nurse station lockdown, pharmacy security, server room protection, and HIPAA-compliant audit trail requirements.
Apartment complex and student housing access control covering amenity areas, parking garages, package rooms, fitness centers, and individual unit entry.
High-traffic industrial access control with heavy-duty hardware, vehicle gate integration, shift-based time schedules, and perimeter protection.
K-12 and university campus access control designed for visitor management, classroom lockdown, after-hours access, and intercom integration.
Hotel back-of-house and service corridor access control integrated with property management systems and coordinated with existing RFID key card infrastructure.
Every component of the door opening — hardware, wiring, conduit, controller, and software — so there are no gaps between trades.
Networked systems covering multiple buildings or campuses with centralized management and unified credential databases.
Smartphone-based credentials, remote administration, and cloud-based reporting without on-premise server infrastructure.
Access control events paired with camera snapshots or video clips for incident review, integrated with IP camera systems and VMS platforms.
Lobby systems with pre-registration, host notification, badge printing, and temporary credential issuance.
Complete access event logging for compliance, HR investigations, and insurance purposes.
Every access control system is engineered to meet applicable codes, life safety requirements, and manufacturer specifications.
Life Safety Code requirements for egress path door hardware, fail-safe release on alarm, and delayed egress lock compliance.
International Building and Fire Code provisions governing access-controlled egress doors, locking hardware, and emergency release.
The standard for access control system units covering controllers, power supplies, and lock hardware ratings for commercial applications.
Permits pulled in our name; Atlanta and metro-suburb AHJ relationships built over years of new construction and TI work.
Access control, CCTV, fire alarm, and the cabling under all of it on one contract — fewer finger-points when you call for service.
Authorized Kidde Commercial dealer for the Southeast plus active partnerships with the access control, video, and infrastructure brands enterprise IT teams already standardize on.
Submittals, sequences of operations, as-builts, and inspection reports formatted for your AHJ and insurance carrier — not buried in field email.
We walk every door in scope, document hardware condition, and confirm power, network, and conduit availability.
Door schedule, panel/reader selection, network design, and a UL 294-compliant submittal package signed off before procurement.
Rough-in, terminate, mount readers, and integrate with fire alarm, CCTV, and visitor management. Programmed and tested per device.
Owner training on the credential workflow, documented as-builts, and a 12-month workmanship warranty with optional service agreement.
Fail-safe locks unlock when power is removed (used on egress paths so occupants can exit during an emergency); fail-secure locks remain locked when power is removed (used on storage, IDF/MDF rooms, and other doors where security must be preserved through an outage). NFPA 101 and the authority having jurisdiction dictate which is required at each opening.
Both. We design around what fits your IT footprint and security policy — cloud platforms (Brivo, Genea, Openpath, Verkada) for distributed sites with limited IT staff, and on-prem (LenelS2, Genetec, Mercury) for enterprises that already have a NOC and prefer to keep credential data inside their network.
HID Prox, iCLASS SE, Seos, MIFARE DESFire, mobile credentials over Bluetooth/NFC, and biometric readers. We default to MIFARE DESFire EV3 or Seos for new deployments because Prox is trivially cloneable and is being deprecated for high-security environments.
Door controllers receive a fire alarm release signal so all egress doors unlock during an alarm event, satisfying NFPA 101 free-egress rules. Access events also tag video on the NVR/VMS so a card swipe at a door pulls the matching camera clip for investigation.
UL 294 is the standard for access control system units. Insurance carriers, many AHJs, and most enterprise procurement teams require UL 294-listed panels and readers. Every controller and reader we install is UL 294 listed.
A 10-door tenant improvement runs about 2-3 weeks from contract to commissioning, assuming the conduit and door hardware are already in place. New construction is paced by the GC schedule; we coordinate rough-in with electrical and door hardware trades early.
New construction, tenant improvement, or retrofit — we'll assess your opening schedule and design a system that fits your facility and budget.
