🔍 Who went where? And exactly when?

If your business relies on traditional master keys, a missing asset or an unauthorized entry usually means a lot of guesswork and a massive bill to rekey the entire building.

As a SALTO Systems Platinum Partner, AC Leigh designs and deploys access control systems that eliminate the guesswork entirely using SALTO's advanced Audit Trail technology.

Every single SALTO smart lock records an encrypted digital footprint. The moment a keycard, fob, or smartphone app interacts with a door, the system logs it.

How does an Audit Trail protect your business?

🕒 Complete Accountability: Instantly view a time-stamped log of every successful entry—and just as importantly, every denied attempt.

🚫 No More Lock Rekeying: If a staff member loses their fob, you can audit where it was last used, block it instantly in the software, and issue a new one in seconds.

📊 Smart Visual Insights: Track staff movement trends to optimize building usage, shift patterns, and energy management.

🛡️ Regulatory Compliance: Essential for data centers, healthcare facilities, and financial institutions that require strict, documented proof of who has access to sensitive areas.

Because AC Leigh holds Platinum status, our team doesn't just fit the locks—we configure your SALTO Space or SALTO KS platform so you can filter, pull, and export these audit reports in seconds when you need them most.

Take complete control over your facility's history.

📧 Imagine if your building sent you an email the second something went wrong.

You can't be everywhere at once, and you shouldn't have to constantly stare at a security monitor to know your business is safe.

As a SALTO Systems Platinum Partner, the team at AC Leigh configures smart access control systems that keep you informed no matter where you are in the world. With SALTO’s automated Email Notifications, your building actively communicates with you in real time.

Instead of finding out about a security issue the next morning, you get an instant alert pushed straight to your inbox or smartphone.

What kind of alerts can you set up?

🔋 Low Battery Warnings: Never get caught out by a dead lock. The system emails your maintenance team well in advance when a specific door handle needs fresh batteries.

🚪 Security Exceptions: Get an immediate email if someone tries to use a blocked keycard, or attempts to access a restricted server room after hours.

⚠️ System Status: Receive instant updates if a high-security perimeter door is left propped open or fails to lock properly at closing time.

👥 Custom User Alerts: Want to know exactly when a lone worker arrives safely on-site for an early shift? You can set a trigger to email you the moment their fob hits the reader.

Because AC Leigh is a Platinum Partner, we don't just hand over standard settings. We tailor the logic of your SALTO Space or SALTO KS system so the right alerts go to the right people—preventing inbox clutter while ensuring critical issues are dealt with instantly.

Put your building's security on autopilot.

📞 Contact AC Leigh today to learn how we can integrate smart email notifications into your facility.

🔒 Is your building security reactive or proactive?

As a SALTO Platinum Partner, the team at AC Leigh installs smart access control systems that do much more than just lock and unlock doors. One of the most powerful—yet overlooked—features is SALTO’s advanced Alarm & Triggering capabilities.

Instead of just recording an incident after it happens, a SALTO system allows you to catch breaches in real time.

What can it actually do?

🚪 Door Left Open Alarms: Automatically trigger a silent alert or local buzzer if a high-security door is propped open for too long.

⚠️ Break-In Detection: Instantly flag forced entries and send immediate alerts to management or security teams.

🛑 Emergency Lockdowns: Trigger a global, facility-wide lockdown instantly from a central dashboard or a designated master keycard.

🔄 Smart Integrations: Tie your door events directly into your CCTV, lighting, or wider building management systems. When an alarm triggers, your cameras can automatically pivot to focus on that exact door.

Because we hold Platinum Partner status, our engineers don’t just supply the hardware—we custom-program these triggers to fit the exact flow and security risks of your specific facility.

Stop relying on locks that only tell you who entered yesterday. Switch to a system that alerts you to threats right now.
