Apartment Access Control Systems in Orlando and Central Florida
Gate, lobby, amenity and unit access that survives turnover — designed for the capex window you actually have, and supported after lease-up.
Built for how multifamily spends
Apartment communities buy access control at two moments: when the property is built and when it's renovated. In between, operating budgets are tight and most of the margin goes to investors. We design for those windows. That means a proposal an asset manager can put in a capex plan, a system that doesn't need a lump sum every time a controller ages out, and turnover handled by the leasing office in minutes instead of by a locksmith. We've been installing in Central Florida apartment communities since 2007, and we support what we install.
What property teams tell us
- Turnover is constant and the keys don't keep up. Move-outs leave fobs and codes active for months. Rekeying is expensive and slow.
- Tenants expect app access. Prospects compare your gate and your package room to the community down the road.
- Amenities get used by people who don't live there. Pool, gym, dog park, coworking lounge — with no record of who came in.
- A capex request with no clear number. Ownership wants one proposal, one price, one phasing plan — not three vendors and a spreadsheet.
- The installer disappeared after lease-up. Nobody answers when a reader fails on a Saturday.
What we install at apartment communities
Cloud access for the leasing office. Brivo or PDK platforms the office manages from a browser: issue a credential at move-in, revoke it at move-out, set vendor access with an expiration date. LenelS2 or ICT where the owner standardizes on an enterprise platform across properties.
Gates and parking. Resident and guest lanes, telephone entry, mobile credentials, license-plate recognition for garages and high-traffic entries.
Amenity and common-area doors. Pool, fitness, clubroom, package room, mail room, bike storage — scheduled and logged. CDVI readers and keypads, HID credentials, Assa Abloy and HES locking hardware.
Unit-door and smart-lock integration. Where the owner wants it, unit entry on the same credential as the gate and amenities, with turnover handled from the office.
Video on the same record. Eagle Eye Networks or Axis cameras paired with access events at entries and amenities.
New-build and renovation packages. Rough-in and cabling during construction, device install at turnover, and a phased option when the full scope doesn't fit one budget cycle.
From capex request to move-in
- Free site assessment. Entries, amenities, parking, unit count, and what the current system can't do.
- One proposal, phased if needed. A number ownership can approve, with a phase-two option for the pieces that can wait.
- Construction or live-property install. On a new build we coordinate with the GC; on an occupied property, doors cut over one at a time with resident notice.
- Leasing-office training. Move-in, move-out, vendor access, and reports — the whole office, not one person.
- Support after lease-up. 24/7 phone support and rapid repairs for the life of the system.
For asset managers and ownership groups
Standardize access control across a portfolio and every property reports the same way, trains the same way, and calls the same number. We'll build a per-property budget and a portfolio rollout schedule, and we'll present it to your ownership group. Renovating or acquiring? Bring us in before the capital plan is final — it's cheaper to design it in than to add it later.
