Access Control in Philadelphia County, PA
Know who can open which door, and shut off a lost credential from your phone in about ten seconds.
Built for Philadelphia County's buildings and businesses
Philadelphia stacks almost every access control problem into one county: Center City towers with turnstile lobbies and elevator dispatch, the hospital and university density of University City, life-science tenants at the Navy Yard, and a large industrial base in the Northeast and along the river. Multi-tenant is the default condition, which makes the boundary between base building and tenant the first thing to get right. Legion installs commercial access control across Philadelphia County.
Keycards, phone credentials, biometrics and video intercoms, run either from the cloud or on your own server. Every door reports who opened it and when.

Access Control in Philadelphia County — your questions
One platform, two administrative scopes: the landlord holds perimeter, lobby and elevator, the tenant holds its own suite, and neither one can change the other's doors.
It constrains hardware and pathway choices more than it constrains the outcome — surface-mount and wireless locks, discreet reader placement, and minimal impact on the door and frame.
Both, and they run off the same credential a person uses at the perimeter, so no one carries two things.
