A-1 Locksmith & Security Center designs and installs AirAccess systems using Alarm Lock Trilogy Networx locks, compatible wireless controllers, and credential technologies selected for each door and application. Because AirAccess connects through a dedicated cellular communicator instead of your building’s internet connection, your IT network is never part of the system.

Access Control Without Relying on Building Internet

AirAccess uses a dedicated cellular communicator for its cloud connection. You don’t need to provide a static IP address, open firewall ports, maintain an on-site server, or install access-control software on an office computer. The system connects independently of your building’s internet service, which means it keeps working even if your office Wi-Fi or ISP has an outage, and your IT team never has to open a port or manage a server for it.

Because AirAccess connects through a dedicated cellular network rather than a customer’s local internet connection or IT infrastructure, it isn’t tied to the same trip-dependent service radius as traditional lock-and-key work. A-1 installs and services AirAccess statewide — including Tucson, Payson, and Show Low — in addition to the full Phoenix metro area.

Wireless Alarm Lock Options for Existing Doors

Alarm Lock Trilogy Networx locks integrate the lock, credential reader, and wireless communication into the opening itself. Available configurations include cylindrical, mortise, and other commercial applications, depending on the door and hardware requirements. Many models support PIN or proximity credentials and retain a mechanical key override.

Mobile Credentials and Key Reduction

Employees, managers, contractors, and recurring vendors can receive managed credentials instead of physical building keys. Permissions can be assigned, scheduled, or revoked remotely, helping your business reduce rekeying costs, unreturned keys, and uncontrolled access. Mobile credentials reduce reliance on physical keys and cards that can be lost, shared, or retained after access should have ended.

Upgrading Existing Trilogy Locks to AirAccess

If your business already has Alarm Lock Trilogy locks installed on the legacy DL-Windows platform, many of these locks can be upgraded to run on AirAccess instead of being replaced outright. This gives you cloud-based, cellular management without a full hardware swap at every door — often at a meaningfully lower cost than a full lock replacement.

Important: this upgrade is one-directional. Once a Trilogy lock’s firmware is updated to run on AirAccess, it cannot be reverted back to operate on the DL-Windows platform. A-1 evaluates your existing locks, confirms which units are eligible for upgrade, and reviews this permanent, one-way change with you in detail before any work begins — so there are no surprises after the fact.

AirAccess Installation & Services We Provide

As your AirAccess installer in Phoenix, AZ, A-1 Locksmith & Security Center provides the complete range of AirAccess installation and support services:

Full system design, wireless lock and cellular communicator placement, and cloud platform configuration from the ground up. A-1 inspects each door, frame, existing hardware, egress requirements, and fire rating before recommending a lock or configuration.

Installation of Alarm Lock Trilogy Networx wireless locks — cylindrical, mortise, and other commercial configurations — selected to fit your existing door and hardware with minimal changes to the opening.

Poor installations create liability. If your existing sEvaluation and firmware upgrade of eligible Trilogy locks already running on the legacy DL-Windows platform, moving them onto AirAccess’s cellular cloud management. This is a one-way upgrade — we walk you through what that means before any work begins.ystem was installed without permits, does not meet code, or was configured incorrectly, we identify every deficiency, remove and replace non-compliant hardware, and deliver a fully permitted, code-compliant system with proper documentation.

Placement and configuration of the dedicated cellular communicator and gateway that connect your AirAccess system to the cloud, independent of your building’s internet connection or IT network.

Setup of mobile app credentials, PIN codes, and proximity cards for staff and vendors, with permissions that can be assigned, scheduled, or revoked remotely.

Integration of compatible Networx panels with standard card readers and gate operators, extending AirAccess management to openings that aren’t a fit for an integrated wireless lock.

Pool enclosures, gate access, community amenity areas — we design and install AirAccess-integrated systems for HOA-managed properties with uncontrolled key distribution, unauthorized access, or ADA compliance requirements. Includes trenching, conduit, gate hardware, ADA-compliant egress, and board and manager training.

Addition of wireless locks, panels, gateways, and range expanders as your facility or portfolio grows — a single gateway can support up to 63 compatible locks or panels depending on system design.

Continued platform support, credential management, and hardware service after installation, so your AirAccess system keeps running reliably long-term.

Case Studies

AirAccess Installer Phoenix AZ — Real Installations, Real Results

Case Study 1: Professional Office Retrofit — Glendale, AZ

A small professional office in an older Glendale building needed access control, but the walls were finished and running new wiring back to a central panel would have required significant demolition and drywall repair.

A-1 installed Alarm Lock Trilogy Networx wireless locks at the building’s two primary entries, connected to the cloud through a dedicated cellular communicator rather than the building’s internet connection. No new data cable was required, and the office’s existing computer network was never involved in the system.

Result: Access control added to two entries with no wiring runs and no disruption to the building’s finished interior. The office retained full remote management without exposing its internal network to the access control platform.

Case Study 2: Multi-Tenant Retail Strip — Surprise, AZ

A small multi-tenant retail property in Surprise had several tenant suites and no on-site IT staff to support a networked access control system, and the property manager did not want the system dependent on any single tenant’s internet service.

A-1 installed AirAccess with Trilogy Networx locks at each tenant entry and common-area doors, using a dedicated cellular communicator so the system operated independently of any tenant’s internet connection. The property manager can now add or remove tenant credentials remotely without visiting the site.

Result: Independent, tenant-agnostic access control across multiple suites with no reliance on any single business’s network, and no on-site IT support required.

Case Study 3: Existing Trilogy Lock Upgrade — Peoria, AZ

A Peoria business had operated older Alarm Lock Trilogy locks on the legacy DL-Windows platform for several years and wanted the added flexibility of cloud-based, cellular management without replacing hardware at every door.

A-1 evaluated the existing Trilogy locks and identified which units were eligible for upgrade to AirAccess. Eligible locks had their firmware permanently updated to AirAccess-compatible firmware, and the business was advised in advance that this upgrade is one-directional: once a lock’s firmware is updated to run on AirAccess, it can no longer be reverted to operate on the DL-Windows platform. With that understood, the business proceeded with the upgrade rather than a full hardware replacement.

Result: Existing Trilogy hardware was extended onto a modern cloud/cellular platform without a full lock replacement, reducing project cost while giving the business remote, browser-based management going forward.

Case Study 4: Fitness Studio with Trainer Space Rentals — Ahwatukee, AZ

A gym in Ahwatukee allows independent personal trainers to rent training space and equipment during scheduled blocks throughout the week, in addition to its own staff and regular members. Managing physical keys for a rotating group of trainers created ongoing security concerns — keys were lent out, duplicated, or not returned when a rental agreement ended, and ownership had no way to confirm who had actually accessed the building during unattended early-morning or late-evening rental blocks.

A-1 installed AirAccess with Trilogy Networx wireless locks at the gym’s main entry and a secondary equipment room door. Each trainer now receives a mobile credential scoped to their specific rental schedule, so access opens automatically during their booked hours and closes outside of them, without staff needing to be on-site to let anyone in or manually reprogram anything. Ownership can add a new trainer, adjust a rental block, or immediately revoke a credential the moment an agreement ends, all from the AirAccess app. Because the system connects over a dedicated cellular signal, it also didn’t require any coordination with the gym’s guest Wi-Fi network or an on-site server.

Result: Trainer access is now fully scheduled and self-expiring, physical key issuance was eliminated for rental arrangements, and ownership has a complete access log for every rental block without needing staff present outside normal hours.

Why Businesses Choose AirAccess for Access Control

  • Cellular Cloud Connection, No IT Network Required — A dedicated cellular communicator connects the system to the cloud, so there’s no static IP, no open firewall ports, no local server, and no need to place access control on your internal network.
  • Retrofit-Friendly Wireless Locks — Trilogy Networx locks integrate the lock, reader, and wireless communication into the opening, often replacing existing commercial locksets with limited changes to the door.
  • Mobile Credentials & Key Reduction — Employees, managers, and recurring vendors can receive managed mobile, PIN, or proximity credentials instead of physical keys, reducing rekeying and unreturned-key risk.
  • Doors Keep Working During a Communication Outage — Networx locks store user programming and access information locally, so authorized door use continues even if the cellular connection is briefly unavailable.
  • Expandable as the Facility Grows — Additional wireless locks, panels, gateways, and range expanders can be added over time; a single AirAccess gateway can support up to 63 compatible locks or panels depending on system design.
  • Existing Trilogy Locks Can Often Be Upgraded — Many previously installed Trilogy locks can be upgraded to run on AirAccess rather than replaced outright — see the FAQ below for the one-way firmware change this involves.

Q: Does Alarm Lock AirAccess require an internet connection?

A: AirAccess uses a dedicated cellular communicator for its cloud connection, so it does not depend on the customer’s internet service, static IP address, or firewall configuration. The installed system still requires appropriate power, communication coverage, and professional system design.

Q: Can AirAccess use mobile credentials?

A: Yes. AirAccess supports a mobile application with a built-in credential. Depending on the selected Alarm Lock hardware, the system may also support PIN codes, proximity cards, and key fobs.

Q: Will the doors still work during a communication outage?

A: Alarm Lock Networx locks store user programming and access information locally at the lock, allowing authorized door use to continue if the server or network connection is temporarily unavailable. Remote commands, programming changes, and real-time reporting may be delayed until communication is restored.

Q: Can AirAccess be installed on existing commercial doors?

A: Many Alarm Lock Trilogy Networx locks are designed to retrofit common commercial lock preparations. A-1 must inspect the door, frame, existing hardware, egress requirements, and fire rating before determining which lock or access-control configuration is appropriate.

Q: Can my existing Trilogy lock be upgraded to AirAccess?

A: In many cases, yes. Alarm Lock Trilogy locks originally set up on the legacy DL-Windows platform can often be upgraded to run on AirAccess’s cellular cloud platform. This upgrade permanently updates the lock’s firmware — once a lock has been upgraded to AirAccess, it cannot be reverted to operate on DL-Windows. A-1 will confirm which of your existing locks are eligible and walk you through this one-way change before any upgrade begins, so there are no surprises.

Q: Is AirAccess suitable for multiple locations?

A: AirAccess provides cloud-based management, making it a potential option for businesses managing doors at multiple properties. The final architecture depends on the number of locations, doors, administrators, and required integrations.

Q: Can AirAccess control a gate or conventional card reader?

A: Compatible Networx panels can be used with standard reader applications and gate operators, allowing AirAccess to manage openings that are not appropriate for an integrated wireless lock.

Q: What areas does A-1 serve for AirAccess installation?

A: A-1 Locksmith & Security Center serves the entire Phoenix Valley for locksmith and security services, including Phoenix, Tempe, Scottsdale, Mesa, Gilbert, Chandler, Glendale, and Avondale. For AirAccess installation specifically, we also serve Tucson, Payson, Show Low, and other communities statewide — since AirAccess’s cellular connection means installation isn’t limited to a typical drive-time service radius.
