Access control swaps keys for credentials: fobs, cards, keypads or a phone that opens a door on a schedule you set. In Santa Rosa it goes on winery production buildings where a harvest crew arrives in August and leaves in October, offices near the Keysight campus in Fountaingrove, clinics near Sutter and Kaiser, gated driveways in the hills, and mailrooms in Roseland apartment buildings. Vintage Lock & Key installs everything from a single keypad on a cellar door to networked readers across a property with an audit trail.
The tech counts doors, checks each one for hardware and power, and asks who needs to be where and when. Electric strikes or maglocks are recommended per door, a controller sized to your door count, and a credential that fits your staff. Readers, request-to-exit sensors, wiring and the software are set up together. You are left able to add a new hire or remove a departed one yourself.
It starts with a site survey, covered by the $89 service call and applied toward the job. The written quote lists each door, its hardware, the controller, credentials and labor as separate lines. Once approved, that quote is sealed. If an old door turns out to need new prep once work starts, you hear the number and approve it before the work continues.
Access control is quoted per project because door count, controller and credential type set the price. A single keypad on one door is a small job; a dozen readers across a winery with a gate controller is a larger one. The format of the quote is the same either way, and the number does not drift after approval. Seasonal credentials for harvest crews can be set to expire on a date you choose.
“Locked out of my apartment above one of the antique shops at 11pm after dinner on Fourth Street. Quoted $139 on the call, $109 for the lockout plus the $30 evening add, and that was the charge. The text with the technician's name came a minute later, the van was there in about fifteen, and the old door opened without a scratch.”
Every job is quoted from the ranges below. The number you hear on the call is sealed there, written on the work order and repeated on the receipt.
- Daytime (7am–8pm)standard rates
- Evening (8pm–12am)+$30
- Overnight (12am–7am)+$60
FAQ
Access Control: quick answers
Can our tasting room keep the existing glass door?+
Yes. Glass storefront doors usually take a maglock at the top rail with a request-to-exit sensor inside, and the door itself stays. Wood and metal doors more often accept an electric strike behind the existing latch. The tech lists which for each door in the quote.
How do we handle a harvest crew that changes every season?+
Issue fobs or codes with an expiry date at the end of October. When someone leaves early, their credential is deleted in seconds from your phone or laptop. No rekeying, no chasing down keys.
Do you do gated driveways in Fountaingrove?+
Pedestrian gates, keypads and fob readers, yes. Vehicle gates with motors are quoted separately because they run on the gate operator's own controller, and the tech will say on the call whether your operator can take a new keypad or reader.
