Electronic Access Control Systems for Utah Businesses
Take Control of Your Doors Without Rekeying
Access control gives businesses more flexibility, better security, and real data compared to mechanical locks. Instead of guessing who still has keys, electronic access control shows who accessed which door and when, while allowing changes without rekeying.
At Payson Lock & Key, we design and install electronic access control systems for Utah businesses. From simple keyless entry systems for small business to full building access control solutions, we help businesses move beyond keys and into systems that fit how they actually operate.
✔ Serving Utah businesses since 1995
✔ Cloud-based and on-premise access control solutions
✔ Local installation, service, and long-term support.
Secure your doors. Control access. Reduce key headaches.
What Is Electronic Access Control?
Electronic access control (EAC) replaces physical keys with electronic credentials such as:
Key fobs or access cards
PIN keypads
Mobile phone credentials
Commercial smart locks
Video intercom systems
Instead of cutting keys, access is managed electronically. Users can be added, removed, or limited by door and schedule. Compared to mechanical access control, EAC offers far more flexibility, control, and data.
Why Utah Businesses Choose Payson Lock & Key
Choosing the right access control system matters—but choosing the right company matters just as much. Electronic access control only works well when the doors, hardware, and system design are done correctly from the start.
That’s where Payson Lock & Key stands apart.
We Understand Doors First, Not Just Software
Many access control problems are not software problems—they are door problems. Doors that do not close correctly, latch poorly, or use the wrong hardware will cause ongoing issues no matter how advanced the system is.
We are locksmiths first. That means we understand:
Door alignment and hardware fit
Electric strikes, maglocks, and panic hardware
Fire and life-safety requirements
Long-term door reliability
We build your access control system on a solid foundation.
Local Utah Company Since 1995
We are not a call center or a national installer. We are a local Utah company that has been serving businesses since 1995.
Our technicians:
Live and work in the same communities we serve
Understand Utah buildings, storefronts, and facilities
Provide local follow-up service after installation
When you call, you reach a real local team.
We Design Systems Around How Your Business Actually Works
No two businesses operate the same way. We take time to understand:
Who needs access
Which doors matter most
When access should be allowed
How your business may grow
We design access control solutions that fit your workflow instead of forcing you into a one-size-fits-all system.
Cloud-Based and On-Premise Access Control
Some installers only offer one type of system. We install and support both cloud-based and on-premise electronic access control.
That means:
You get honest recommendations
The system fits your comfort level and policies
You are not pushed into technology you don’t want
Our goal is long-term reliability, not short-term sales.
Long-Term Support After Installation
Access control is not “set it and forget it.” Businesses change, staff turns over, and doors wear over time.
We provide:
Ongoing service and troubleshooting
Credential adds and removals
Door and hardware adjustments
System upgrades as needs change
We stay involved after the install.
Trusted by Utah Businesses

Flexibility: Why Electronic Access Control Changes How Businesses Operate
Flexibility is one of the biggest reasons Utah businesses upgrade to electronic access control.
Control Access by Door
Each access control door can be managed separately. Staff may access some areas but not others.
Control Access by Time
Electronic access control allows:
Scheduled access during work hours
Restricted after-hours entry
Automatic locking outside approved times
This is ideal for offices, medical buildings, and churches across Utah.
Remove or Add Access Instantly
If someone leaves, you can remove access immediately. No rekeying. No downtime.
Grow Without Replacing Everything
Many businesses start with one door and expand later. A well-designed access control system grows with the business instead of forcing a restart.
Security: A Major Upgrade Over Mechanical Access Control
Electronic access control provides a clear security improvement over keys.
Reduced Risk From Lost Keys
Lost keys create uncertainty. With EAC, you can disable lost credentials instantly, removing the risk without changing hardware.
Clear Access Records
Many access control systems record:
Which credential opened a door
The time access occurred
This visibility improves accountability and helps resolve questions quickly.
Fewer Forced or Propped Doors
Keyless entry systems reduce door abuse, helping doors close and latch properly.

Why Mechanical Locks Fall Short for Businesses

Keys do not:
Track who enters

Scale easily as businesses grow
Once you hand a key out, you lose control until you change the lock.
