WHAT MOBILE CREDENTIALS DELIVER
No Card Cloning Risk
Standard proximity cards transmit static IDs that cheap hardware can clone in seconds. Mobile credentials use encrypted rotating keys stored in the phone's secure enclave. No clone, no copy.
Two-Minute Credential Issuance
Enter name, select access groups, send invite. The employee installs the credential to their phone. No badge printer, no card stock, no courier between sites.
Apple and Google Wallet Support
On compatible platforms and readers, credentials live in the phone's native wallet app. No proprietary app to install. Works at the door even when the phone battery is low.
Instant Remote Revocation
Revoke a credential the moment an employee is terminated or a contractor's job ends. The credential goes dark in seconds. No waiting for a returned card that may never arrive.
HOW A MOBILE CREDENTIAL DEPLOYMENT WORKS
-
Reader Compatibility Audit
We inventory your existing readers and firmware versions. Not every reader supports mobile credentials: we identify which doors need reader upgrades and which are ready today.
-
Platform and Protocol Selection
We match your credential volume, security requirements, and existing access control platform to the right mobile credential system. HID Mobile Access, Allegion ENGAGE, Brivo, and Dormakaba each have different reader and software requirements.
-
Reader Upgrades and Panel Configuration
Reader replacements or firmware updates installed at each door. Access control panel configured to recognize and validate mobile credential formats alongside any existing card types.
-
Credential Enrollment and Policy Configuration
Access groups, schedules, and authentication modes configured per door. Express mode enabled at general entry, tap-to-open at restricted areas. Admin accounts provisioned with credential management permissions.
-
Pilot Rollout and Training
We credential a small pilot group first to validate reader response and user experience. Once confirmed, we roll out to the full user base. Your admins learn credential issuance and revocation workflows.
CONTRACTOR AND VISITOR ACCESS
Issue a Credential at 8 AM and Revoke It at 5 PM Without Touching a Card
Managing temporary access for contractors and visitors is one of the most labor-intensive parts of running a physical security program. Cards have to be printed, issued, collected, and deactivated. If a card is not returned, you either rekey or accept the risk that someone still has access to your building.
Mobile credentials solve this at the credential level. You issue a time-limited credential that expires automatically at the end of the contractor's workday or project. No physical exchange required. No tracking down badges at the end of a job. The credential simply stops working when the window closes, and the access log shows exactly which doors were used and when.
- Auto-expiring credentials: set end date at issuance, credential goes dark automatically
- Door-specific access: contractors reach only the areas their job requires
- Full audit log: who accessed which door, at what time, on which credential
- No badge printer, no card stock, no physical handoff at the front desk

I had “Pros On Call” change the locks on my home that I recently purchased. It was easy to get a hold of them, they made an appointment quickly and did a great job for a fair price. I had them come out about two weeks later and put a deadbolt lock on my front door as well and again - easy to get a hold of, they had to order an aged bronze deadbolt lock 🔐 but once it arrived they came out quickly, did a great job, were neat and it was a fair price. I highly recommend “Pros On Call” for all of your Locksmith needs! 5 Stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ for sure!!

Josh was amazing! I called him when I was locked out of my car, and he arrived within 20 minutes. He was professional, fast, and had my car unlocked in no time. The whole process was stress free, and his pricing was fair. I really appreciate how quickly he came to help. Highly recommend Josh if you ever need a reliable locksmith!

Josh was awesome, he came to the rescue and I didn’t have to wait longer than 30 minutes in total. He also was incredibly kind and understanding of my situation. Dropped off my kids, and somehow my key fab went missing! Also gave me a discount!!

It sucks they charge an inconvenience fee of 49.00. Which I wish you would have mentioned this on our intial call. Transparency would have been to say hey we charge an inconvenience fee. Never once was this mentioned. When we spoke with the representative all she said was the locksmith will call you with a price. Never once did she say we take your payment info so we can charge you an inconvenience fee. If that was mentioned then this would have been handled differently. She made it seem like we need a card on file to help. Then they attempted to debit my card twice for two separate transactions for 49.00. I understand you run a business. But transparency is key. I specifically asked her what I would be charged for never once did she mention this. Lesson learned. Update***she reached out in regards to my Google review. Although I attempted to resolve per phone call. Shameless.

Excellent service and high quality items! Roland was able to get me this key fob AND program it for a great price. Rechargeable fob is a lot more convenient than having to replace the battery every time it dies. Thank you !

I had Zach come out to the property that I purchased out in Luling, Texas. It’s about 10 acres, and it has a garage with a corroded lock. Out of all the companies I have called, which is roughly 5 to 6. He was able to take my call, head out the next day, and take care of the corroded lock I need fixed on my property. He was extremely professional and helped me by giving me instructions on how to operate the lock as well! I’m in the military and not able to be in the area, so he was very understanding and professional. Highly recommend!

Josh was amazing!!! Got us back up and running with two new key fobs in less than 30 mins. He definitely knows his business and has the experience. Got a great deal and I will definitely be calling him the next time we are in need of assistance again. Thank you, Josh!

Zach got to me asap and even called to make sure we were communicating the right location of my truck! Within 10 minutes it was open and running! He’s the man! Thank you so much for the quick turnaround!

Their response time was great. Orlando did a great job. No replacement parts were needed and repairs took an hour. I was badly disappointed at the high bill, even with a military discount. Maybe that is why I couldn’t get an approximate estimate before Orlando came. Bottom line : good work, too expensive

MOBILE CREDENTIALS ACCESS CONTROL FAQ
What are mobile credentials for access control?
Mobile credentials are digital identifiers stored on a smartphone that authenticate at a door reader the same way a proximity card would, but without the physical card. They transmit via Bluetooth Low Energy or NFC. The credential lives in the phone's secure enclave or a wallet app, so it cannot be cloned the way a standard Wiegand card can. Platforms like HID Mobile Access, Allegion ENGAGE, and Brivo mobile credentials all use encrypted cryptographic keys that rotate automatically, making mobile credentials more secure than static card data.
Do mobile credentials work with Apple Wallet and Google Wallet?
Yes, on compatible platforms. HID Mobile Access supports Apple Wallet and Google Wallet for facilities that have deployed HID readers with firmware supporting that protocol. Allegion ENGAGE and Dormakaba readers also support wallet-based credentials on select hardware. Not every reader on every platform supports wallet integration yet: the access control panel and reader firmware must both be current. We verify hardware compatibility during the design phase and advise when a reader upgrade is required to enable wallet-based credentials.
Can a phone work as a credential without unlocking the screen?
Yes. Most mobile credential implementations support Express Mode, where the credential broadcasts passively over Bluetooth without requiring the user to open an app or unlock the phone. The reader picks up the credential as the user approaches. Some deployments require a tap, gesture, or app open for higher-security areas. We configure the authentication mode per door based on your security policy: express mode at general entry points, tap-to-open at restricted areas.
How do I issue a mobile credential to a new employee or contractor?
Issuing a mobile credential typically takes under two minutes from your access control dashboard. You enter the person's name and email address, select their access groups and schedule, and trigger a credential invite. The recipient receives an email or SMS with a link to install the credential to their phone. For contractors, you can set the credential to expire automatically on a specific date, eliminating the step of manually revoking access after the job ends.
What happens if an employee loses their phone?
Revoking a mobile credential takes under 30 seconds from the management dashboard. Unlike a lost card, which can be used until someone notices and deactivates it, a mobile credential on a lost phone can be revoked immediately and remotely. If the phone is recovered, the credential can be reissued in minutes. For phones without screen locks, most platforms allow you to push a remote wipe of the access credential without wiping the entire device.
Do mobile credentials require a constant internet connection at the door?
No. The authentication happens locally between the phone and the reader. The reader stores the current valid credential list and validates against it without contacting the cloud at every access event. Credential updates, revocations, and new issuances sync from the cloud to the reader at regular intervals, typically every few seconds to a few minutes depending on the platform. If the internet connection at the site drops, access continues using the cached credential list.
Can mobile credentials coexist with our existing physical card system?
Yes. Most cloud platforms support mixed-credential environments where some users carry cards and others use mobile credentials on the same system. This is common during transitions: legacy employees retain cards while new hires receive mobile credentials. Readers that support HID Seos or OSDP can read both card and mobile credentials without hardware replacement. We scope the coexistence configuration and identify any readers that need firmware or hardware updates to support dual-mode operation.
Are mobile credentials more secure than proximity cards?
In most configurations, yes. Standard 125 kHz proximity cards transmit a static ID that can be cloned with inexpensive hardware available online. Mobile credentials use encrypted, rotating keys stored in the phone's secure enclave that cannot be copied. NFC and Bluetooth transmissions are encrypted end to end. The phone itself adds another layer: most mobile OS security frameworks require biometric or PIN authentication before the credential can transmit. The practical security level depends on reader firmware version, credential protocol, and how users configure their phone lock screens.
