Security SystemsFor Commercial & Institutional Facilities
Interstate Security designs and installs integrated security systems that combine electronic access control, video surveillance, and electro-mechanical locking hardware into a unified protection strategy. Since 1964, we have been helping commercial and institutional clients throughout Erie, PA and the Tri-State Area secure their facilities with systems built to perform for the long term.
Where Physical Meets Electronic
A unified approach to facility security that covers every layer of protection.
Most security vulnerabilities exist at the boundary between physical hardware and electronic controls. A building may have solid locks on every door, but without a way to manage who has access, track entry events, or monitor critical areas remotely, those locks are only part of the picture. Interstate Security bridges that gap by integrating traditional lock and key hardware with modern electronic access control, CCTV surveillance, and card key systems into a single, cohesive security infrastructure.
Our team brings over sixty years of hands-on locksmith experience to every security system project. That depth of knowledge in mechanical lock hardware gives us a perspective that purely electronic security vendors often lack. We understand how doors, frames, and locking mechanisms interact with electronic strikes, magnetic locks, and card readers at the physical level, which means fewer installation issues and a system that works reliably from day one.
Our Security System Services
From access control hardware to full CCTV installations, we handle the design, installation, and ongoing support for each system.
Access Control Systems
Complete access control installations that let you manage who enters your building, which doors they can open, and when they are permitted to do so. We configure user permissions, time schedules, and audit trails so facility managers have full visibility into building access at all times.
Card Key Systems
Electronic card key and proximity reader installations for businesses and institutions. Card-based access eliminates the need to rekey an entire facility when an employee leaves or a card is lost. Credentials can be added, removed, or modified from a central management system in seconds.
CCTV & Video Surveillance
Closed-circuit television and video surveillance system design and installation. We position cameras to cover entry points, parking areas, loading docks, hallways, and other critical zones. Recorded footage provides a verifiable record of events for incident investigation and liability protection.
Electro-Mechanical Locks
Electric strikes, magnetic locks, and electrified hardware that integrate with your access control system. These components bridge the gap between your electronic credentials and your physical door hardware, ensuring that authorized access events translate into a smooth, reliable unlock every time.
System Integration & Design
The real value of a security system comes from how well its individual components work together. We design integrated solutions where your access control panels, card readers, CCTV cameras, and electro-mechanical locks operate as a coordinated system. That means a single credential event can trigger a door unlock, log the entry in your audit trail, and cue the nearest camera to record the activity. Our design process starts with a thorough facility assessment, followed by a detailed proposal that maps hardware placement, wiring paths, and system architecture before any installation work begins.
