Keypad access for office staff

A Summerlin medical office wanted to stop sharing one staff key. Cairn installed keypad locks with individual codes as part of our Las Vegas valley commercial work.

  • Standalone keypads on two doors
  • A separate access code for each person
  • Installation after patient hours

The challenge

One key shared across the staff

The office had a single key that employees shared for the supply room and staff entrance. Access depended on having that physical key available, even though several people needed to use the doors.

The manager wanted to handle staff changes without arranging another lock change or continuing to pass the same key between employees. Work also needed to take place outside patient hours.

Separate codes, managed at the door

We recommended standalone keypad hardware that lets the office manager control individual access without a networked system.

  • Two keypad locks

    Standalone electronic locks replaced shared-key access at the staff entrance and supply room.

  • Individual staff codes

    Each employee could use an assigned code rather than relying on one physical key circulating through the office.

  • Restricted backup keys

    Restricted keys provided a separate means of entry without leaving ordinary copies in circulation.

  • Manager-controlled access

    The manager was shown how to add staff codes and remove credentials when an employee leaves.

What we installed and handed over

The installation was arranged around the office's patient schedule, with the manager shown how to operate the new locks.

  1. Review the two doors

    Identified the staff entrance and supply room as the locations needing a different way to manage access.

  2. Fit the keypad hardware

    Installed standalone electronic locks during the agreed period after patient hours.

  3. Set up staff entry

    Established separate user codes and provided restricted physical keys for backup access.

  4. Show the manager the controls

    Demonstrated how to manage codes directly so the office could handle changes in its own staff.

Staff changes without changing locks

The office moved from one shared key to access that the manager could change for each employee.

  • One code can be removed

    When an employee leaves, the manager can delete that person's code without replacing the door lock.

  • No shared key to pass around

    Staff members use their own credentials, so routine entry no longer depends on locating a common key.

  • Changes handled in the office

    Management can assign or withdraw keypad access locally rather than requesting a locksmith visit for each personnel change.

“Our staff had been sharing one key for the entrance and supply room. Cairn fitted the keypads after our patient hours and showed me how to manage the codes. The useful part is being able to remove one person's access when they leave without having the locks changed.”
