St. Petersburg Area Access Control Systems
We don't just lock doors. We design systems around how your business runs — who needs in, when, and how. Employees, vendors, tenants — our systems keep things secure and moving. Less key juggling, fewer lockouts, more control. We stick with Paxton10, Net2, and PDK because they scale cleanly and are simple to administer. Not every fob reset should turn into a service call.
Still handing out keys or chasing down ex-employees? A real access system lets you kill access instantly — no rekeying, no drama. Cleaners and employees only get in during the hours you specify. You know who entered the IT room and when. You can be notified if a door is propped open. You control every door and don't need to call a locksmith every time someone quits.
Cards and fobs get lost, loaned out, and left at home. Phones don't, people and phones are permanently joined these days. Many of our customers now use mobile credentials — no hardware to buy and hand out, nothing to reprogram, and no hassle when someone leaves. PDK and Paxton10 offer mobile access, and it's fast, secure, and easier to manage than badges.
Shared buildings get messy. Tenants change, fobs go missing, and no one knows who has access to what. Or, each tenant has their own systems, and your maintenance crew can't access critical infrastructure. We install systems that let each suite manage its own doors — without affecting others. Owners can override, tenants control their own users, and you don’t have to babysit it.
Smart Door Systems That Make Sense
Keys are so last decade.
If you’re still tracking keys, chasing fobs, or dealing with systems that lock you out—or worse, fail to stay locked—it’s time for an upgrade. We install reliable door access systems in St. Pete that work from day one, make sense to use, and eliminate the frustration of lost credentials.
St. Petersburg businesses trust systems like Paxton and PDK because they’re secure, scalable, and don’t turn simple tasks—like unlocking a door—into tech support nightmares.
Here’s what modern door access systems replace:
With a solid access setup, vendors, staff, and tenants are given access only where and when they need it—all without a single key.
Today's smart door systems are capable of much more than just locking doors:
We build systems designed for the realities of retail, commercial, and industrial spaces in areas like downtown St. Pete, Grand Central, and the Warehouse Arts District.
Phones are everywhere. Badges? Not so much.
We’ve scaled setups where mobile access replaces traditional fobs, removing hassle and expense. PDK systems make nearly everything painless:
Staff, vendors, or tenants simply swipe or tap from their phone—easy, fast, and low-maintenance.
Magnetically locked doors may seem like an easy solution—until they’re not.
Mag locks bring complexity: wiring concerns, fire code requirements, fail-safe protocols, and often compliance frustration. In many cases, they cause more issues than solutions. We prefer electric strikes or standard electronic latch systems that are simpler to install, more reliable, and code-friendly.
Here’s why property managers, GCs, and business owners in St. Pete keep calling us:
That level of clarity and communication makes things predictable—for everyone.
If you manage a strip plaza, mixed-use building, or coworking space, here’s how we help you keep it simple:
In busy areas like Tyrone or Lealman, well-designed access control becomes a necessity—not just a convenience.
Install failures are always avoidable:
We walk every job site early, coordinate with signage and lighting teams, and map everything before we drill or install. That’s how correct setups happen.
Our shop is in Pinellas Park. Most of our clients are in St. Pete. If something breaks or you have a question, you call us—not a voicemail queue.
We’ve built systems across areas like:
In each case, it’s local — and dependable.
St. Pete sees storms. Systems break. Credentials get lost. Doors get stuck.
Here’s what we do:
We’re local and responsive—exactly what matters when systems fail.
On-site control systems still make sense—but more businesses are moving toward cloud- or hybrid-based systems.
Benefits include:
We’ll walk you through pros and cons specific to your location and design a system that fits your business goals.
All of them wanted systems that make life easier—not one more headache.
Email, text, or book a walkthrough. Whether you're installing for the first time or replacing a system stuck in lockdown (literally), we’ll give you straight advice that fits your needs and budget.
Let’s make your doors smarter—and stop worrying about who’s carrying that master key.
Please reach us at Service@tssusa.net if you cannot find an answer to your question.
Yes — cloud-based systems like PDK and Paxton10 make managing access simple and flexible. You don’t need to be on-site to make changes. Add or remove users, check activity logs, and unlock doors right from your phone or laptop. No dedicated servers, no licensing headaches. For busy business owners in the Tampa Bay area, it’s one less thing to worry about.
All 3 systems support up to 1000 doors. Most of our installs fall in the 2-10 door range. For these projects, we primarily recommend Paxton10 and PDK.
Yes — with both PDK and Paxton10, you can unlock doors remotely via mobile or web apps. Forgot to lock up? No problem. Need to let a vendor in halfway across town? Done in seconds. It's secure, trackable, and avoids guesswork or surprise lockouts.
The common integration is with security cameras. Paxton10 makes this very intuitive and easy. It's simple to cross-check security footage with badge use. This makes it easy to track an individual around your building. Beyond that, the integrations we see frequently are with alarm systems and building automation(HVAC).
With PDK and Paxton10, your doors won’t just stop working. Each controller stores data locally, so users can still badge in even if your connection is out. The system just syncs back up when internet returns. No lockouts, no angry tenants — and no explaining to your staff why the front door doesn’t work.
