Does a small business need access control?
Keys get copied, lost and never come back when someone leaves - and you never really know who opened the door at 6 a.m. Cloud access control fixes that without the cost and complexity of the systems big buildings use: no server, no IT team, and a price that grows with your headcount.
What it costs
A simple example
A 10-person office with one front door.
| Item | Cost |
|---|---|
| Door Access Control software | 10 users × $1.90 = $19 / month (billed annually) |
| Optional: attendance included | 10 users × $4.10 = $41 / month in total |
| Door hardware | One-time - a single-door controller, quoted for your door |
| Server, software installs, IT | None |

Frequently asked questions
Does a small business need access control?
If you have more than a handful of keys in circulation, staff turnover, a stock room or valuable equipment, yes. Access control replaces keys you can't revoke with credentials you can switch off in seconds, and tells you who came in and when.
How much does access control cost for a small business?
TimeClock 365 Door Access Control is $1.90 per user per month, billed annually. For a 10-person team that is $19 a month for the software. Door hardware is a one-time cost, quoted for your doors.
Do I need an IT team or a server?
No. Everything runs in the cloud and is managed from a browser. There is no server or software to install or update.
How long does installation take?
A typical single-site installation takes less than a day: mount the controller and readers, connect them to the network, then add employees and permissions in the cloud. Our team helps with setup.
Which door hardware do I need for one door?
For one door, a single-door controller such as the Slim Controller (fingerprint, card and PIN) is usually enough. For two doors, the Fast Controller covers both from one unit.
Can I also track attendance?
Yes. Attendance + Access Control is $4.10 per user per month: the first door entry starts the workday and the last exit ends it, ready for payroll.
What if the internet goes down?
Doors keep working. Permissions are stored on the controller and events sync to the cloud when the connection returns.
