Why This Matters for Your Leasing Office

Managing physical keys across an apartment community is a constant headache: lost keys, unreturned keys at move-out, keys copied without authorization, and the expense of rekeying locks when security is compromised. Electronic access control solves all of these problems. With card, fob, or mobile-based access, your leasing office can grant and revoke access to any door, gate, or amenity area instantly — no locksmith needed. Telesco designs and installs access control systems for multifamily properties across San Antonio, Austin, Dallas/Fort Worth, and Houston, and Houston, and Houston that replace key management chaos with simple, centralized electronic control.

What’s Included

Telesco installs access control systems using commercial-grade hardware from manufacturers like HID, DoorKing, and Linear. Systems include proximity card readers or key fob readers at controlled entry points, electronic door strikes or magnetic locks, a central controller, and management software that your leasing staff uses to add residents, revoke access, and pull access logs. For amenity areas like fitness centers, pools, business centers, and package rooms, we configure time-based access schedules so areas are only accessible during operating hours. Every access event is logged — who accessed which door, and when — giving your management team a complete audit trail. We also offer mobile credential options so residents can use their smartphones instead of carrying a separate card or fob.

How We Work

Telesco evaluates which doors and entry points need electronic access control based on your property’s security needs and budget. Not every door needs a reader — we help you prioritize the entry points that give you the most security value. We handle all hardware installation, wiring, controller programming, and software setup, then enroll your first batch of resident credentials and train your leasing staff on day-to-day management: adding new residents at move-in, deactivating credentials at move-out, and running access reports. Ongoing support includes adding new doors and readers as your needs grow, replacing failed hardware, and helping resolve any access issues your staff encounters.

Common Scenarios We Solve

Properties that still rely entirely on physical keys and are tired of the expense and security risk. Communities where the fitness center or pool area has no controlled access and unauthorized use is a constant problem. Leasing offices that need to track who enters common areas and when. Properties upgrading from standalone electronic locks to a networked system with centralized management. Multi-site management companies that want one platform to manage access across all their properties. Telesco designs access control systems that match your property’s actual needs — not a one-size-fits-all package.
