Access control for buildings and businesses in Montreal
Montreal packs in every kind of building: older plexes and walk-ups, downtown office towers, street-front retail, housing agencies and institutions. Many buildings still run analog intercoms and keyed locks, and cabling is often hard to pull through brick walls.
Altea installs access control for residential buildings, retail, offices and industrial sites, under an RBQ licence. We mostly work with UniFi Access: no per-door licence, one app for managers, and a log of every opening. We also handle the door hardware (electric strikes, mag locks, panic bars, automatic operators) and parking gates.
What we install in Montreal
- Card, NFC, phone and PIN readers (UniFi Access G3)
- Electric strikes, mag locks, deadlatches and panic bars
- Exit buttons, door contacts and door-held alarms
- Parking gates and garage doors (UA-Hub-Gate)
- Hands-free fobs for parking
- Schedules, user groups and access reports
What clients in Montreal ask us for
- In rental buildings we replace common-door keys with cards or phones: a tenant who moves out means a deactivated card, not a new lock cylinder.
- In offices we separate zones (server room, executive area, entrances) and give temporary access to visitors and contractors.
- In retail we control the back room, stockroom and delivery door, with a per-employee log.
- For institutions we plan zones by role, fast lockdown of every door and clear reports.

Frequently asked questions
Do you work in Montreal?
Montreal is about 35 km from our Saint-Eustache office, inside our regular service area: quick site visits and work scheduled around your hours.
How much does access control cost in Montreal?
Price mostly depends on the door (frame, lock, cabling). As a guide, the UniFi hardware for one door (hub, G3 reader, strike, exit button, cards) comes to about $763 at current altea.io prices, plus installation. The site visit in Montreal and the quote are free.
Is there a per-door licence?
Not with UniFi Access: the software comes with the UniFi console. You pay for hardware and installation, with no mandatory subscription.
Can we keep our existing doors and locks?
Often, yes. We reuse frames and hardware in good condition and add an electric strike or mag lock. The site visit confirms it door by door.
What happens during a power or Internet outage?
Readers keep working on the local network. For each door we choose a safe fail mode (locked or unlocked) on power loss, and we can add backup power.
