About East Austin
Hardware for converted buildings and new construction
East Austin is a mix of older warehouses and industrial buildings that have been converted into offices and commercial space, alongside newer mixed-use developments. The older buildings were not designed with electronic access in mind, and their doors and frames are often a different size and construction from what a modern reader expects.
Austin Commercial Lock & Door works on both. We retrofit access control into older doors and frames using hardware that fits what is already there, and we install new systems in modern builds. Because many East Austin properties house several kinds of tenant, we plan access so each suite and shared area is controlled separately.
- Access control retrofits for converted warehouse and industrial doors
- Hardware upgrades that fit older frames instead of replacing them
- Separate access for mixed tenants sharing one building
- 24/7 emergency dispatch for commercial lockouts and failures

Local Context
What East Austin Properties Need
The converted industrial buildings here were built before electronic access existed, so adding it takes care. Doors are often solid metal or older wood sets in steel frames, and a reader and electric strike have to be mounted so the door still latches and egress still works. We survey each opening and choose retrofit hardware built for those doors rather than forcing in equipment designed for modern frames.
Many East Austin buildings also hold more than one tenant. An office might share a building with a studio, a workshop or retail space, and each needs its own access without a shared key that opens everything. We set up separate reader or key control by suite and keep shared corridors and service areas managed as their own zones.

Common Questions
Frequently asked questions
Can you add electronic access control to a converted warehouse?
Yes. We retrofit readers and electric strikes into older doors and frames using hardware designed for that kind of construction. Each opening is surveyed first so the new equipment still lets the door latch and still meets egress requirements.
What if several businesses share my East Austin building?
We set up separate access for each suite and keep shared areas managed on their own. That way one tenant's access does not open another's space, and shared corridors or service entries stay controlled.
Do you have to replace old doors to modernize access?
Usually not. In many cases the existing door and frame can stay and the locking hardware is upgraded or fitted with retrofit access control. We survey the opening to see what can be reused before recommending replacement.
