Tomball kept its old centre while the tollway brought new business parks to the south of it, and the two halves want different things from a door. A shop on Main Street and a unit in the business and technology park both need to control entry, but almost nothing about the openings is the same.
We look after the whole door on a Tomball job: the reader or keypad on the wall, the strike or magnetic lock in the frame, the exit device and the hardware holding it all together. Smart locks too, where a battery unit is the sensible answer.

Main Street Units and Business Park Doors in Tomball, TX
The older commercial buildings through the centre of Tomball were built for a world where the owner held the only key and lived nearby. Many still have the original hardware and a back door that opens onto a shared yard. Those units benefit enormously from a keypad on the rear door, because it lets a supplier or a part-time member of staff get in without a key ever leaving the building.
South of town the picture is industrial and newer: metal-frame units, roll-up bays and a personnel door beside each one. Those businesses tend to have several staff, subcontractors on site and equipment worth controlling access to. A card or fob system on the personnel doors gives a record of who came in, which matters much more when a unit holds stock or tools than when it holds a desk.

Access Control FAQs for Tomball, TX
Our building is old. Can it take access control at all?
Almost always, but the method changes. Older Tomball frames often will not take a let-in strike without damage, so we use surface-mounted hardware or a battery lock instead. The result works the same; it just does not involve cutting into something that has lasted a century.
We just bought the business. Should we change everything?
Change the credentials first, which is quick, then decide about hardware. A change of ownership is the most common moment a building discovers how many keys are out there, and the answer is usually more than anybody expected.
Can access control cover a unit with a roll-up bay?
We fit it to the personnel door beside the bay, which is the door staff and visitors actually use. That gives you control and a record without touching the bay equipment.
Is a fob better than a code for a workshop?
If several people come and go and you want to know who, yes. If it is two people and a stockroom, a code is simpler and there is nothing to lose or leave in a jacket.
Do you service systems you did not install in Tomball?
Yes. A lot of our work is on somebody else’s installation, particularly where the original installer is no longer around and the building has lost its administrator access.
