From ground-up construction to tenant refreshes, Access Cabling has built Door Access Systems systems throughout Redding and the wider Northern California market for 28+ years. Every install is delivered by BICSI-trained technicians and backed by a 25-year manufacturer warranty. Redding’s growing commercial landscape, from the bustling retail corridors along Hilltop Drive to the expanding healthcare facilities around Shasta Regional Medical Center, relies heavily on robust and future-proof network infrastructure. As Northern California's regional hub, businesses here, whether serving visitors flocking to the Sundial Bridge or supporting local residents, demand seamless connectivity. Door access systems across California — from single-door standalone entry to enterprise multi-site card and mobile-credential systems. Access Cabling installs electric strikes, magnetic locks, request-to-exit, door position sensors, readers, and controllers for offices, warehouses, healthcare, education, and multi-tenant buildings.

Across Redding — from Sundial Bridge to the surrounding Shasta County corridor — IT directors and facilities managers pick Access Cabling for the same reasons: a licensed C-10 / C-7 contractor (CSLB 992009), 28+ years of commercial low voltage experience, BICSI-trained crews on-site, and Fluke DSX certification on every port. The result is a door access systems install that a network engineer can drop into on day one — labeled, tested, and warranted for 25 years.
Undertaking commercial cabling and network infrastructure projects in Redding and the broader Shasta County requires adherence to specific local building codes and permitting processes. The City of Redding Building Division and the Shasta County Building Department each have distinct requirements for electrical and low-voltage installations, including plan submittal, inspections, and compliance with California's C-10 and C-7 contractor licensing standards. Access Cabling operates under CSLB 992009, bringing over 28 years of experience in navigating these regulatory landscapes. Our project managers are adept at coordinating with local inspectors and ensuring all installations meet code, preventing costly delays and ensuring the long-term safety and integrity of the infrastructure. This local knowledge is crucial for seamless project execution, whether it’s a small office remodel or a large-scale industrial facility build-out in the Redding area.
Access-control cable from each door back to the nearest IDF (composite 22/6 + 18/2 for reader plus lock power, or separated pulls per spec). Dedicated 12/24 VDC power supply with battery backup at the IDF sized for 4-24 hour runtime. Every door labeled at both ends to TIA-606-B, wired into a controller port, and documented in the closeout package.
Common project types we deliver near Sundial Bridge and throughout Shasta County.
Every Redding project closes with Fluke DSX (or OTDR for fiber) certification reports for every port, a TIA-606-B labeled patch schedule, redlined as-built drawings, rack elevations, warranty registration, and a MAC-ready cabling database. Your IT team can pick it up cold on day one.
Yes. Many of our Redding-based clients scale Door Access Systems to additional sites across California and nationally. A single PM standardizes drawings, materials, testing thresholds, and closeout format across every location, so IT sees identical documentation whether the site is in Redding or Chicago.
Sometimes. On Redding refresh projects we Fluke-test the existing plant first: if runs pass CAT6 or CAT6A channel spec and pathways are clean, they stay. Anything failing certification, abandoned per NEC 800.25, or unlabeled gets removed and replaced. You get a channel-by-channel keep/replace decision — not a blanket rip-and-replace bill.
Yes. As a certified installer for Panduit, CommScope, Leviton, and Belden, Redding and Northern California projects can be registered for a 25-year performance and applications warranty on structured cabling components — copper and fiber, patch panels through work-area outlet. Coverage details are documented in the closeout package.
Roughly $2,500-$5,000 per door installed — strike or maglock, reader, REX, door contact, controller port, wiring, and commissioning. Retrofits into existing IDFs and near-by pathway drop the cost; long conduit runs and hardware-heavy openings raise it. We quote fixed per-door after a walk.
Glass storefront: usually maglock top-of-frame with REX motion sensor and emergency release button, because strike prep on a glass door frame is often impractical. Standard wood or aluminum commercial door: electric strike in the frame — simpler and code-friendlier.
