Phoenix Apartment Access

Key Fob & Door Entry for Multifamily in Phoenix

One credential for every resident door and amenity, managed from the leasing office.

Apartment Key Fob Systems in Phoenix

Commercial Security Phoenix has technicians who install key fob and door entry systems for apartment communities across Phoenix. Multifamily access control has to handle constant move-ins, move-outs and lost fobs without slowing the leasing office down.

Residents get one fob or phone credential that opens their building, the pool gate, the garage and the amenities they pay for. Staff turn credentials on and off at lease signing and move-out.

Phoenix Fire also uses gate preemption: a detector on the gate's control system that reads an emitter on the fire truck, required on residential gates since 2001. Apartment and HOA gates should have both the detector and the key switch.

Working With Leasing and Property Management Software

Many access platforms can sync with property management software, so access starts and ends with the lease. If your platform supports it, we set up the link and test a move-in and move-out with your staff.

Key Fob & Door Entry for Multifamily Questions

Can we keep our current fobs?

Sometimes. If the existing fobs are compatible with the new readers we can enroll them. Older unencrypted fobs are usually worth replacing over time.

Can we limit pool hours by fob?

Yes. Each door or gate can have its own schedule, and residents' fobs follow it automatically.

Do you work on occupied properties?

Yes. We phase work by building and post notices with your staff so residents aren't locked out during changeovers.

Can one system cover several communities?

Yes. Many platforms manage multiple sites from one login, which helps regional managers.
