Fast, licensed access control & master key systems across Palm Desert
Access control in Palm Desert is mostly about two things: gated communities and the office corridors along Cook Street and Highway 111. Our Storefront is right here in Palm Desert on Country Club Dr, so we are local to the HOAs and business parks that run these systems. Palm Desert has more managed communities than almost any city in the valley, from Sun City Palm Desert to The Lakes Country Club, and each one has gate houses, clubhouses, pool gates, and fitness rooms that need controlled access. Locks Around the Clock designs, installs, and services keypad, card, and fob systems for all of them. Family owned here since 2007. Call (760) 625-0955.
- Keypad, card reader, and fob-based access control for offices, HOAs, and multi-tenant buildings
- Add or revoke a user in seconds, so a lost fob never means rekeying the building
- Electronic locks and magnetic locks from ASSA ABLOY, dormakaba, HID, and SALTO
- Master key hierarchies layered with electronic access for the best of both
- Designed, installed, and maintained by a licensed local locksmith, not a distant integrator
Access control built for Palm Desert HOAs and Cook Street offices
Palm Desert runs on managed communities, and access control is how they stay managed. A country club like Ironwood or Bighorn has one main gate but a dozen amenity doors behind it: the fitness center, the tennis pavilion at Deep Canyon, the pro shop, the maintenance yard. Each one needs its own schedule and its own list of who gets in. We build systems where a board member or manager adds and revokes fobs without rekeying a single door. On the commercial side, the office parks along Cook Street, Fred Waring Drive, and Highway 111 have their own version of the same problem: tenants change, staff turn over, and a lost card should never mean rekeying a suite. Desert heat matters here too. Keypads and readers mounted in direct afternoon sun run hotter than the spec sheet assumes, so we mount and shade them to last.
The Palm Desert access-control job we run most
The most common Palm Desert access-control job we run is an HOA or country club that wants to move an amenity building off metal keys. A board is tired of rekeying the fitness room every time a fob goes missing. We install a keypad or card reader on the door, program the resident list, set open hours, and hand the manager a way to add and revoke access themselves. Most single-door conversions are done in one visit.

The Palm Desert access control & master key systems process
What to expect when you call Locks Around the Clock for access control & master key systems in Palm Desert.
- Step 1
We assess your access needs
We map which people need which doors, at what times, and how you want to grant and revoke access. That drives whether keypads, card readers, fobs, or a mix fit best.
- Step 2
We design the system
We spec the controllers, readers, and electronic or magnetic locks from proven lines like ASSA ABLOY, dormakaba, HID, and SALTO, and show you how it ties into any existing master key setup.
- Step 3
We install and program
We mount the hardware, wire the controllers, and program every credential and schedule, so the right people get in at the right times from day one.
- Step 4
We maintain and adjust
As staff and tenants change, we add and revoke credentials, adjust schedules, and service the hardware, so your access control keeps working without a call to an out-of-state vendor.
