Access Control Systems in Calgary
What are the benefits?
- Access Control allows clients to maintain a professional and welcoming environment while also retaining strong security capabilities.
- It creates deterrence, providing visual and physical barriers to criminal activity.
- Systems are tailored to each individual property: they can be overtly monitored, with a strong and visible presence, or they can be more subtle and integrated for a friendly and welcoming environment.
- They maintain a record of access, preventing and protecting against liability and allowing clients to see who has entered what areas at what time.
- Access Control gives clients the peace of mind of knowing that only authorized people are on the premises, in the right areas, and able to access sensitive assets.
Access Control Brands and Platforms We Install
Access Control Brands We Install in Calgary
We design access control systems around how your building actually runs — which doors need control, who should have access, and how you want to manage credentials day to day.

NAPCO MVP EZ
NAPCO MVP EZ is cloud access control made simple and affordable.

How Your Access Control Project Works With Bordo
It starts with a look at your property and how people move through it – which doors need control, who should have access, and whether you need extras like gates, turnstiles, or a telephone entry system. From there we design a system matched to your doors, your headcount, and how much control you actually need.
Kantech is the access control platform Bordo installs in Calgary, giving you a reliable system for managing doors, users, and schedules.
You receive a quote for the designed system, and we walk through your options: card, fob, or mobile credentials, cloud-managed or on-premise software, and how you want to manage users day to day.
Our team installs the doors, readers, and software, then trains your people on adding and removing users, setting schedules, and pulling access records. Ongoing support comes from our Calgary team – call 403-397-3300 or email [email protected]. In memory-care settings, access control pairs with patient wandering protection at the doors.
Access Control FAQs - Calgary

Can access control show me who entered my building?
Yes. Systems maintain a record of access, so you can see who entered which areas and at what times. That record helps prevent and protect against liability as well as improving security.
Do you install access control for condos and multi-tenant buildings?
Yes. Access control solutions combine security technology with the human factor – such as a condominium concierge or security guard – and can include telephone entry systems alongside card and fob access for a complete building solution.
Can one system handle both my alarm and my door access?
Yes. Some platforms combine intrusion alarm and access control in a single easy-to-manage system – for example, the NAPCO MVP EZ line protects your doors and your perimeter from one panel, with a phone app for managing users and doors.
What happens if an employee loses a fob or card?
Lost credentials can be individually revoked without changing your locks. With cloud-managed options, you can issue and revoke credentials from a browser or your phone in seconds.
How do I get started with access control?
Call 403-397-3300 or email [email protected] – we are open Mon-Sat, 8 AM-7 PM. Our team will design, build, and maintain a system suited to your property, and we serve Calgary and area.
