Modern Access Control for Modern Businesses: Why We Recommend UniFi

If you're a business owner in Langley or the surrounding area, you've probably been hearing more about smart access control systems. And if you're like most of our clients, you’ve got one big question:

“What’s the best way to secure my building without breaking the bank—or my brain?”

We’ve got one word for you: UniFi.

What Is UniFi Access?

UniFi Access is Ubiquiti’s sleek, modern take on door access control. It combines card readers, electric strikes, door sensors, and a cloud-connected control panel into one simple, attractive, and powerful system.

Unlike clunky legacy access systems that require expensive licenses, dedicated servers, or on-site IT support, UniFi Access is designed to be clean, cloud-friendly, and surprisingly cost-effective.

Why We Like UniFi (And Why You Will Too)

🔐 Easy to Use

The UniFi interface is beautifully designed. You can add users, set schedules, monitor entries, and even receive door events—all from a single dashboard that works in your browser or via the UniFi app.

💼 Made for Businesses

Whether you're running a small office, a warehouse, or a multi-door facility, UniFi Access can scale with you. You can control multiple doors, restrict access by time or role, and integrate with cameras or network infrastructure—especially if you're already using UniFi for Wi-Fi or video.

💳 Modern Credentials

Support for key fobs, cards, and even mobile access (with your phone as a credential) means employees don’t need to carry special keys or remember access codes.

💡 Cloud-Based, No Monthly Fees

One of the biggest reasons we recommend UniFi? No licensing fees. You own the system. It’s cloud-enabled but not subscription-locked, saving you thousands over time compared to traditional providers.

🧠 Future-Proof and Expandable

If you plan to grow, UniFi grows with you. Already using UniFi cameras or switches? Access Control fits seamlessly into the same ecosystem.

What Does Installation Look Like?

At Crono Lock, we handle the full install:

Supplying and installing UniFi Access readers and controllers
Integrating with your existing electric strikes or maglocks
Setting up the system and training your staff
Optional upgrades with UniFi Cameras or other smart tech

Installations can be done with minimal downtime, and we’ll walk you through the entire system so you’re confident using it on Day One.

Is It Worth It?

Absolutely. For business owners who want:

A modern access control system
A clean, professional look
Easy management and reporting
Long-term value with no hidden fees

...UniFi is one of the smartest investments you can make in your building security.
