Access Control Systems

Security Gate & Access LLC: Serving Your Security Needs in Western Washington Since 2011, With 40+ Years of Team Experience.

Access Control Systems for Western Washington Properties: Keep Threats Out With SGA

Protecting your property isn’t just about fences or cameras. You need solutions that don’t keep everyone out, but do keep out those who don’t belong. It’s about controlling who can enter, when they can enter, and who knows about it. 

At Security Gate & Access LLC (SGA), we design and install access control systems that give property owners real control over their security, without sacrificing convenience or efficiency. Whether you manage a commercial facility, industrial site, multi-tenant property, or gated community, the right access control system helps you stay proactive, organized, and secure.

With decades of experience serving the Puget Sound area, our team understands that no two properties are alike. That’s why we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Instead, we tailor each access control system to your specific needs, risks, and daily operations.

 

What is an Access Control System?

An access control system is a security solution that regulates who can enter or exit a property, building, or restricted area. Rather than relying on traditional keys—which can be lost, copied, or shared—modern access control systems use electronic credentials and automated controls to manage entry points.

These systems can include:

  • Keypads and PIN-based entry
  • Key cards, fobs, or proximity readers
  • Mobile and app-based credentials
  • Intercom and video entry systems
  • Automated gates and barriers
  • Centralized management software

When integrated properly, access control and perimeter security work together to create a seamless layer of protection around your property.

Why Access Control Matters for Property Owners

Property owners today face more security challenges than ever. Unauthorized access can lead to theft, vandalism, liability issues, and safety concerns for tenants, employees, or residents. 

Installing access control gates and controlled entry points helps you prevent unauthorized entry to protect people, assets, and equipment. You can also track and monitor who comes and goes to improve accountability, reducing both external and internal threats. At the end of the day, an access control system can boost property value and company credibility.

Instead of reacting to security incidents after they happen, access control allows you to prevent them in the first place.

Access Control in Action: What it Looks Like

These systems must work for the unique property. While one property might need access control at the front door, others might need it at the front gate. Some only need to protect what’s inside a building. Others need to protect the entire property, from corner to corner.

Access Control for Perimeter Security

Access Control Gates for Perimeter Security

One of the most effective ways to secure a property is at the perimeter. Access control gates serve as the first line of defense, controlling vehicle and pedestrian entry before someone ever reaches your buildings.

SGA designs and installs gate-based access control solutions for:

Our commercial gate access control systems can be paired with swing gates, slide gates, cantilever gates, and barrier arms. Whether you need high-throughput vehicle access or tightly restricted entry, we’ll help you choose a system that balances security with efficiency.

Access control and surveillance systems

Commercial Door Access Control Systems

Not all access points are outside. Many properties need layered security or one controlled entry point at the building. Commercial door access control systems allow you to manage access to buildings or even specific rooms. 

These systems are ideal for:

  • Office buildings
  • Medical facilities
  • Warehouses
  • Retail spaces
  • Educational campuses

With electronic door access, you can assign, modify, or revoke permissions without rekeying locks. This flexibility is especially valuable for businesses with employee turnover or changing access needs.

Designed Around Your Property and Your Needs

Every property has unique challenges—from traffic flow and tenant access to security risks and compliance requirements. That’s why our process always starts with a site evaluation and consultation.

We take the time to understand how people and vehicles move through your property and where vulnerabilities exist. We also account for your operational processes and the particular priorities for your company, whether that’s simplicity, privacy, or max security. Finally, we discuss your future expansion or upgrade plans to ensure your access control system can grow with you.

From there, we design a custom access control system that fits your property today and scales with you tomorrow. Our team uses only high-quality hardware and systems from trusted sources like Gallagher Security.

Surveillance Cameras, Access Control, Security Fencing and Gates

Integrated Seamlessly With Your Entire Security System

The most effective security strategies don’t rely on a single solution. At SGA, we specialize in integrated access control and perimeter security systems that work together seamlessly.

Your access control system can be integrated with:

This integration provides better visibility, faster response, and a more comprehensive approach to protecting your property.

This company stands behind their work even after 5 years.
I have done electrical contractor work for them for years. I have a customer that I have done multiple jobs for including the gate SGA installed over 5 years ago.

She called them 6 or 7 months age for additional remotes for the access gate.
Apparently when SGA's crew was there either "she" the customer had a bad day or their crew did but she wasn't satisfied with them. When the gate wasn't working properly, she called me because she had lost trust in SGA.
I made 1 call to Duke and told him of the situation. He didn't hesitate one minute. He went out there the next day and completely fixed the problems with the gate and didn't even charge her. What awesome customer service. 10 ⭐️service.
Thanks Duke
Response from the owner:Thanks Michael. Appreciate your comments.

Our neighborhood had a 20 year old gate that was in need of an upgrade in terms of technology and mechanical improvements. the support we received getting our neighborhood gate as good as new was exceptional.

SGA was a true partner and I am so glad we found them to do the job. There were alot of unseen issues with our 20 year old gate, but they communicated them perfectly and helped us solve the problem for good.

Shoutout to Nathan, Trudy, Duke, Julieta and Eric!

Highly recommend Security Gate and Access!

I would highly recommend Security Gate and Access LLC! They originally installed my gate about 4 years ago, and it has worked great! This last year there was a series of weird/abnormal glitches that took place with my gate over a period of about 7 months. (more just unlucky situations). They showed complete dedication in trying to get it fixed, and finally solving the mystery after all of that time! I have appreciated their diligence and customer service in getting this problem finally resolved!

Our 20-year-old double leaf Electric gate stopped working, boo-hoo. After a good deal of research into other companies we contacted security gate and dealt with three different people including the owner. All three were prompt, efficient, quite pleasant and best of all we didn't feel we had been taken advantage of or paid too much.
Hello,one year later now. Failure, failure,another boohoo because one of the two electric gate operators stopped working. However Security Gate and Access honored their warranty with prompt and friendly service. Hard to beat these guys in price and service. Yahoo.

We used SGA to replace and repair an automatic gate for our neighborhood. From start to finish, they were very responsive and showed a high level of professionalism. Due to Covid and unforeseen complications, this job took a while to complete. However, during that time, SGA and their masonry contractor never made us feel as though we had slipped through the cracks. Special thanks to David, Trudy & Casey who were instrumental in getting our job complete.

Shana G.
I work for a company that had our gate installed by Nathan who was extremely professional and just a joy of a person. The chain to our gate had to be repaired and they explained they would have a technician out in a couple days which is still a pretty quick response time. It was even quicker to our surprise when we saw Nathan walking up! He was here to fix our gate a day early and went out of his way to make sure we were taken care of. All our customers really liked him and his sparkling personality. He explained everything and the gate ended up being even better than before! He did a fantastic job and I couldn't recommend anyone more. Definitely Five Star service!
Response from the owner:Thank you Shana!
In such hectic times it's great to know you took the time to write a great review!
We work hard to get our customers the help they need as soon as possible!
We hope your holidays are spectacular!

My company hired SGA to repair the barrier arms on our gate system after someone hit them with their vehicle. I am very pleased with the service they provided! Nathan, their technician, was very helpful and ensured that the job was completed in a diligent and professional manner. We will definitely use them again.
Response from the owner:Tony, thank you for the feedback! Looking forward to working with you in the future.

EXCELLENT SERVICE/COMPANY! From the initial call to the billing, I couldn't be happier! Casey arrived before scheduled time which was perfect. He was professional and truly knew everything about my security gate. He explained every step of the maintenance, making notes for future inspections. I highly recommend this company! Super staff - quick scheduling and service!

I wish all businesses and especially small business were like SGA! As they say it starts from the top - Mike's professionalism and always want to take care of the customers filters in the entire SGA organization.

Thank you Mike and the entire SGA team for great work and support.

I've been around and aware of security gate for the past 15 years since their inception. I find their owners and estimators be highly skilled and quite knowledgeable in their field. Their technicians are licensed by the state and and are trained and certified to national industrial standards. I would highly recommend them for any job weather residential or commercial no matter how big or how small.

Very helpful when I stopped to get a rough estimate for a entrance gate. However they are very expensive since all components of the gate and fencing are custom built.

If I could give the team at SGA more stars, I'd do it.
We had one of those gate projects that we all just hate. Multiple delays and product problems for seven+ months..... nobody's fault, just stuff.
SGA hung in delightfully while we all just walked it through together. SGA took care of all the issues and we actually ended up with an even better gate!
I would recommend them unconditionally to anyone looking for a great security gate.

I called numerous gate companies and the only one to even call me back was SGA. They called me back right away, scheduled an appointment very quickly and solved the problem immediately, all with a fair price! After the service call they even called to follow-up to ensure everything was satisfactory. This is what doing business should look like.

Hands down, this is the best company that we have ever worked with! From the amazing and prompt customer service that we received from Mike, to the installation of our gorgeous gate, these guys have not only met but exceeded ALL of our expectations. They are true to their word, no surprise 'fees' or up-cost to the project, we were extremely happy with our experience with them and would not hesitate to work with them or recommend them to our friends and family. Thanks guys for doing an awesome job on our gate!

Absolutely the best customer service, best gate, best employees. Would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone looking to install a security gate. Mike, Duke, and Dave were on time, on budget, and knowledgeable; taking their time with us, defining details, making it perfect. If I could give these guys 10 stars, I would. Cannot say enough good about them. Thank you. Thank you, guys.

SGA installed a 30 foot cantilevered gate for our community about two years ago. Not only is the gate operation extremely reliable, but their customer service is also prompt and professional. It's gratifying to find businesses that do what they say they're going to do, and show up when they say they'll be there. We couldn't be happier about our entire experience working with Mike Maggitti and his team at SGA.

These are absolutely the most accommodating and helpful people around, and they are also very skillful. In 2016, SGA completely rehabilitated our gate, which included fabricating a new swing arm and replacing the drive motor and controls. The work was done on time and within the agreed budget (which was about half the cost of a well-known competitor). SGA also took the time to show me how to operate the controller, which we appreciated when our power failed and we needed to open the gate manually. Today, "Duke" was on-site to perform annual maintenance. He fixed the alignment of the post, assured all mechanical and electronic parts were operating properly and even painted a few nicks on the frame. All of the personnel at SGA have a wonderfully helpful attitude, and are committed to making their customers happy.
