A lost key in a small business can mean rekeying the whole building. In Chipley and across Washington County, TekPro installs access control that replaces keys with cards, fobs or keypad codes you can turn off instantly. We’re just under 50 miles away in Panama City.

Getting Started

We begin by listing the doors, the people who use them and when. Then we look at each door and frame to choose hardware that fits and keeps exits free.

Right-Sized Access Control for Smaller Buildings

Not every building needs a large system. Many Chipley businesses only need control on one or two doors, such as a front entrance and a rear delivery door, or an office and a supply room. We size the system to what you actually need and leave room to add doors later. Professional offices around the county courthouse, medical practices and shops all benefit from knowing who entered and when, and from being able to change access without calling a locksmith.

Entry Logs

Every entry is recorded with the credential used and the time. Reviewing those logs helps answer questions after an incident.

A Chipley access control system can include:

• Instant removal of lost or former users’ credentials
• Fire alarm release where required
• Single-door and multi-door systems
• Integration planning with cameras and alarms
• Training for the person who manages users

Many Chipley customers pair this with security cameras or fire alarm systems.

Room to Grow

Start with the doors that matter most and add more later. We plan the system so expansion doesn’t mean starting over.

Cards, Fobs and Keypads

Most users carry a card or key fob, and keypads work well for doors where a code is easier. We’ll recommend readers based on how each door is used.

Common Questions

Can we start with just one door?

Yes. We can install access control on a single door and add more later.

Do employees need cards, or can they use a code?

Either works, depending on the reader. Many businesses use cards or fobs for staff and keep a code for occasional use.

Can I manage access control remotely?

Depending on the system, yes. We’ll explain the management options when we quote.

What happens if the power goes out?

Systems have backup power, and doors are set to fail safely based on code and your needs.
