A physical key can be copied without your knowledge. An employee badge can be lent to a friend. When access accountability actually matters, whether for a server room, a pharmacy storage area, or an East Sixth restaurant after a break-in, physical keys are not the right tool. WOW Locks designs and installs commercial access control systems across Austin: keycard, fob, biometric, and PIN-code, with credential management that revokes access in seconds and an audit log that shows exactly who entered which door and when.

-
Tech startup, office suite Domain office park, North Austin, 78758
- Challenge
- Seven employees left in two months. Rekeying every time costs more than the monthly rent allowance, and there is no way to know if old keycards were returned.
- Solution
- WOW Locks installed a Brivo cloud-based credential system on three entry doors. Each employee credential is deactivated on departure from a web dashboard in under 60 seconds, no rekeying, no tech visit required.
-
Medical practice, HIPAA-sensitive records room North Austin medical office near UT Dell Medical School

- Solution
- Installed a HID-compatible proximity reader on the records room door, integrated with the practice management platform. Access log exportable to PDF for quarterly compliance audit.
-
Restaurant owner, East 6th location East 6th Street entertainment district, Austin TX 78702
- Challenge
- Break-in overnight. Attacker used a duplicate key from a former employee. Entire front-of-house staff rotation made rekeying an every-quarter event.
- Solution
- WOW Locks replaced the deadbolt with a ZKTeco PIN-code access control unit. No physical keys means no duplicate keys. New PIN issued in 30 seconds when staff turns over.

~30 min
What access control brands do you install?
WOW Locks installs systems from HID, ZKTeco, Suprema, Brivo, Schlage, and Allegion. Brand selection depends on your specific requirements: Brivo and HID are strong for cloud-managed multi-tenant buildings, ZKTeco and Suprema for biometric applications, Schlage for integrated alarm and access environments. We recommend based on your door count, budget, and whether you need cloud administration.
Can you integrate with existing security systems?
In most cases, yes. Access control systems from HID, Brivo, and Schlage offer API connections to most commercial alarm and CCTV platforms. Integration allows an access event (such as a door forced open) to trigger a camera recording or dispatch an alarm. See our commercial locksmith hub for the full range of services. We assess integration feasibility during the site survey.
Do you offer cloud-based administration?
Yes. Cloud-based platforms such as Brivo allow credential management from any browser without a local server. You can add a new employee, revoke a departing employee's access, or pull an access log from Austin or from anywhere with an internet connection. Monthly platform fees vary by user count and are disclosed before the installation quote.
What is the cost per door?
A single-door keypad or fob reader system typically runs $500 to $1,500 installed, including controller, reader, electric strike, and credential programming. Biometric readers run $800 to $2,500 per door depending on technology. Multi-door projects scale with volume and are quoted after a site survey. Final written quote is provided before any work begins.
