Installation FAQ
Historically, we have mainly worked on systems that are already installed or added maglocks to an existing system, though we can also install new systems.
Atomic ensures access is tied into the fire alarm system so that the doors release upon a triggered fire alarm.
The majority of assisted living facilities we’ve served for decades use older-style access control systems.
We can also install modern systems with HID card readers; however, the majority require a code.
One facility we serve uses bracelets for its patients. When a patient goes near a door, the door automatically locks to prevent the patient from getting out.
In general, access control systems are intended to keep outsiders out of the building. However, a nursing home does both – keep outsiders out and keep high-risk patients from escaping.
We install mostly wired access control systems for Oklahoma facilities, though we can also install wireless and cloud-based systems, including timed doors (ex: doors that lock after business hours and holidays), keypads, and badges.
Integration with door controllers, proximity card readers, and video intercoms for seamless security management are more common with cloud-based systems. There are systems we can install where the user codes are programmed online.
Assisted living facilities use access control to keep residents inside for their safety. Access control systems must automatically release during a fire alarm. We ensure every system is properly integrated with the fire alarm to meet all code requirements.
It depends on the size of the building. Contact us for a quote and estimated installation for your building.
The estimated cost depends on the brand the customer chooses and the features they want in the system.
Access control is a system where you get what you pay for. The more it costs, the more features you get.

Maintenance FAQ
There’s no routine maintenance standard in access control. Most common issues we’re called out to resolve involve how the system was installed:
- Wires become loose/disconnected
- Programming errors
We have emergency service and regular service to assist with repairs.
Contact emergency service if a door is locked and staff cannot get out or if a patient could escape because it’s unlocked.
Yes, our alarm techs are also licensed for access control. If something is going on with a mag lock and it is tied into the fire alarm, they are licensed to troubleshoot both trades.
