Access control & smart locks
DoorKing
DoorKing, which also trades as DKS, manufactures access control equipment: telephone and video entry systems, vehicular gate operators, parking and traffic control barriers, card readers, keypads and RF controls, and the software and phone apps used to program them.
Entry systems run from the 1800 and 1812 series through the 1830 telephone entry line and the eVolve video entry series, and can be connected by cellular retrofit or VoIP where a landline is not available. Resident directories and access codes are programmed through a Cloud Account Manager, a Windows Account Manager, or apps for caller ID, relay control, residents and digital locks. Gate operators cover swing, slide and overhead models from residential through commercial, industrial and maximum security duty, with solar control boxes, backup power inverters, loop detectors, time clocks, surge suppressors and entrapment protection devices sold as accessories. Traffic products include barrier gate operators for single and wide lanes, automatic spikes, a surface mount wedge barrier and a pedestrian protection system.
The site states that DoorKing has been setting the standard in access control for over 75 years. It publishes product documentation, 3-part specs, 3D models, product reference guides and catalog downloads, runs installer training seminars, and posts warranty terms, UL 325 safety standard information, a software support agreement and international contacts alongside technical support request forms.
The crawled pages are product, documentation and support listings: no prices, dealer directory or purchasing terms are published, and the site directs buyers to submit a product information request. Confirm model selection, connection method and local code compliance with an installing professional before ordering.
