Access Ledgers Hardware Method Notes

Lobby โ€” 182 S Arnaz

Property files and door credentials on one directory.

StrataZen Inc supplies property management ledgers and building smart access control as a single operating record: unit files, work orders, readers, controllers, maglocks, encoded cards, and visitor passes.

Floor 02 โ€” Access

Smart access that can be walked to

A reader on the lobby glass is not a system until the corridor door, the controller closet, the maglock, and the credential list share the same door ID.

Controller closet โ€” relays and lock terminals

Frame hardware โ€” maglock, strike, door sensor

Readers

Lobby glass and corridor doors use the same credential format. Each reader is named to a door ID that also appears on the tenant ledger and the work-order queue.

  1. Lobby keypad/reader at the glass
  2. Corridor readers at handle height
  3. Door ID copied into the unit file

Controllers

The closet panel is the physical half of the software directory. Relays, terminal blocks, and lock wiring are labeled to the same names used on the credential list.

  1. Panel survey before cutover
  2. Lock output mapped to door ID
  3. Photo attached to the building file

Lock hardware

Maglocks, electric strikes, and door-position sensors are scheduled with the reader, not purchased as leftover hardware. Frame photos close the work order.

  1. Strike or maglock per door type
  2. Sensor state on the live ledger
  3. Fail-secure / fail-safe noted in the file

Floor 03 โ€” Ledgers

Property management as a unit file

Operators fail when work orders live in one screen and door credentials live in another. StrataZen keeps the tenant ledger, the unit binder, and the access list on one desk.

Operating record

Work orders tied to doors

A jammed reader is a work order on the same unit file that holds the lease row. The dual-monitor desk is the daily surface: queue on the left, tenant ledger on the right, binders at hand.

  • Unit: binder ID matches the door ID on the reader
  • Ticket: access faults close only when the sensor reads true
  • Vendor: locksmith notes stored with the controller photo
  • Owner pack: ledger export for HOA and asset managers

Paper + screen

Binders and door schedules

Printed door-access schedules sit beside unit binders so a night operator can match a reader ID without opening a second product. The floor list on the monitor is the same list on paper.

  • Schedule: door name, reader ID, lock type
  • Binder: unit file for leases and access exceptions
  • Floor list: building directory used at cutover
  • Handover: one pack per building, not per vendor

Floor 04 โ€” Credentials

Cards, lists, and visitor passes

Smart access is unused if the encoder and the lobby kiosk are not on the same credential list as the tenant ledger.

Floor 05 โ€” Method

Cutover is a directory update, then a door test

Readers are not accepted until the corridor door, the closet panel, the maglock sensor, and a newly encoded card all report the same door ID on the ops desk.

Survey

Photograph the lobby reader, corridor doors, closet panel, and frame hardware. Name each object before any card is encoded.

Map

Copy door IDs onto the tenant ledger, the printed schedule, and the credential list. Incomplete rows do not enter encoding.

Encode

Write cards at the encoder against the live list. Visitor passes at the kiosk use the same door set with a shorter window.

Prove

Walk the glass and the corridor. Close the work order only when the sensor is true and the ledger shows the test card.

Floor 06 โ€” Notes

How operators buy the stack

Programs are sold to property managers, HOAs, and building owners who need both the ledger and the door hardware documented together.

01

Building pack

One directory per site: doors, controllers, credentials, unit binders, and open work orders.

02

Access line

Readers, closet panels, maglocks or strikes, encoder, and visitor kiosk as named objects.

03

Ledger line

Tenant rows, unit files, and tickets that cannot close until the door sensor agrees.

04

Handover

Photos and schedules stay with the building file so a later operator does not re-label the closet.

Is this consumer smart-home gear?

No. StrataZen Inc works with multi-door commercial and residential buildings that need a property ledger plus encoded access, not a single-house app.

Can ledgers be ordered without hardware?

Yes. The directory format stays the same so readers and kiosks can be added later without renaming unit files.

What is required before encoding cards?

A completed door schedule: door name, reader ID, lock type, and unit file ID. Blank rows are not written at the encoder.

Where is the operating desk?

Program files are kept in Ojai, California. Field objects remain at the building: lobby glass, corridor doors, and the controller closet.
