Door Access Control in Hernando, MS
Door Access Control for storefronts and small businesses across Hernando — simple keyless entry that mounts onto existing storefront doors.
Hernando is the DeSoto County seat, built around a historic courthouse square where most of the buildings have been renovated for upscale shops, eateries, and a popular farmers market. It's grown into an affluent suburb while keeping a genuine downtown-merchant character.
Square-side merchants want storefront cameras and reliable small-business WiFi that won't clutter a historic facade. That discreet, right-sized work is exactly what a courthouse-square install calls for.

Commercial projects of $50,000 or more require a state contractor license. Local building departments handle permits; fire-alarm and life-safety work additionally runs through the State Fire Marshal.
Do I have to replace my doors?
Usually not. UniFi Access retrofits onto existing doors using electric strikes or maglocks, a reader, and a request-to-exit device. We assess each opening first.
What credentials can staff use?
NFC cards and fobs, Bluetooth and mobile credentials, Apple Wallet, and PIN codes on the touchscreen readers — you choose per door and per group.
Can I see who came and went?
Yes. Every unlock is logged with the credential, door, and timestamp, and you can schedule access by person, group, and time of day.
