Managing who enters your building is critical to keeping tenants, staff, and assets safe. Fire Protection, Inc. (FPI) installs secure, code-compliant access control systems for commercial and industrial properties across Seattle and the Puget Sound region.
Since 1968, FPI has helped property managers control entry to high-traffic, restricted, and sensitive areas. Our systems reduce unauthorized access, allow for user-specific permissions, and offer full visibility into who comes and goes. Whether you manage a multi-tenant office building, senior living facility, or warehouse, our team builds access control solutions that match your security goals and daily operations.
Our access control systems allow property managers to assign and manage who can enter different parts of the building, when they can enter, and how access is granted. With options like keypads, card readers, and key fobs, you can prevent unauthorized entry, secure sensitive areas, and improve overall building safety.
FPI designs access control systems that work for properties of all sizes. From single-door systems to multi-zone configurations, our solutions are scalable and built to integrate with your fire alarms, intrusion detection systems, and video surveillance platforms.
Every system is built to suit your building’s layout, access needs, and tenant structure. FPI uses commercial-grade hardware and software designed for long-term use in professional environments.
Multi-Tenant Access Management
Access control becomes more important, and more complex, when you manage a building with multiple tenants. We help you create user groups with specific access levels by door, floor, time, or day. This is ideal for shared buildings with office suites, retail storefronts, or service providers.
Each tenant can receive individualized access while you maintain full administrative control of the system.
Real-Time Activity
Logging
FPI’s access control systems log every entry and attempted entry by user, time, and location. This activity log supports internal security reviews, incident investigations, and insurance or compliance documentation.
Reports can be exported and reviewed by security personnel or building managers as needed.
Remote Management and Alerts
Modern access control systems include cloud-based management options, allowing you to make updates from anywhere. You can grant or remove access, monitor activity, and receive real-time alerts if a door is forced open or left unsecured.
Remote access helps property managers stay in control, even when they’re not on site.
Keypad and Card Reader Entry
Our systems offer several credential types, including:
- PIN-based Keypads
- Proximity Card Readers
- Contactless Key Fobs
These options make it easy for employees, vendors, and tenants to enter approved areas while keeping others out. All equipment is designed for durability and consistent performance.
Integration with Other Systems
FPI designs systems that integrate with your building’s other safety components, including:
- Fire Alarm Systems (for emergency unlock/egress)
- Intrusion Detection Alarms (for breach response)
- Video Surveillance Systems (for event footage verification)
With an integrated setup, you can manage entry and monitor events from a single platform.
Like any building system, access control equipment needs periodic attention to stay reliable. FPI offers maintenance services that include:
|
Reader and keypad function testing
|
Panel and wiring inspections
|
Battery backup checks
|
Credential programming support

Software updates (if applicable)
If you’re experiencing issues like doors not unlocking, cards not reading, or alerts not triggering, our local team responds quickly to get your system back on track.
FPI provides complete access control system installation for new construction, renovations, and existing building retrofits.
