Cores fire rated doors to install access control, relabel the door after coring, and maintain fire and life safety code.
The company is required to hold a California LCO license, a C-28 lock and security contractor’s license for work over $500.00, a C-7 license for low-voltage electrical work, a C-10 license for high-voltage electrical work, and a California Department of Industrial Relations license for municipal work.

The predominant trends in the lock and security market are the reduction of mechanical keys for various types of clients such as Biotech in favor of access control, ADA compliance with door operators, and ease of use overall when it comes to software.
