SLK Security Solutions · Family-owned for more than 50 years
One company, every opening.
Doors, frames and hardware, and the access control and video on them. We install, repair and service both halves for schools, hospitals, plants and public buildings, most of them open while we work. [CLIENT REVIEW: "open while we work" extends what the client said, that about 90% of the work is retrofit and aftermarket in existing buildings (onboarding part 1). That figure was given while describing the electronic security unit. Confirm it holds company-wide and that most of these buildings stay occupied during the work]

Retrofit work
Built for buildings that can't close.
Schools in session, hospitals with patients, plants on shift. Retrofit work means unknown conditions behind the frame, fire ratings that have to hold, and egress that has to work every hour we're on site.
[CLIENT REVIEW: this section's framing, that the buildings stay open during the work, rests on the same assumption as the hero. The specifics (fire ratings, egress, unknown wall and door conditions, missing floor plans, healthcare procedures) are the client's own words from onboarding part 2 and the 10/23 feedback] Plenty of buildings have no current floor plans, so the work starts with a survey of the openings. We coordinate access and scheduling with your staff and follow your facility's procedures, including infection control and dust containment in healthcare.
About SLK Security SolutionsBoth halves of the opening
The door and the system on it, from one company.
An opening is more than a door. It's the frame, the hardware, the closer and the exit device, plus the reader, lock and camera that work with them.
We handle both halves, so one company answers for the opening from the first survey to the annual inspection. Our own technicians do most of the work, with long-term partners we bring in when a job calls for them.

Where to start

-
Keying and key control
Master key systems, district-wide rekeys and restricted keyways, so you know who holds which key. [CLIENT REVIEW: the outline names master key systems and rekeying, and onboarding part 1 confirms district-wide rekeys. "Restricted keyways" is inferred from the Medeco keyway John described for Franklin County; it is the standard trade term manufacturers use for keys that can't be copied without authorization. Confirm SLK offers restricted keyways as a service]
