American Star Locksmith Combines Commercial Locksmith Experience with Smart Access Control Technology
American Star Locksmith completed an on-site access control upgrade for a business entrance in Moonachie, NJ, converting an existing Adams Rite mechanical deadlock into an electrified door locking system.
Local Commercial Access Control Expertise Near Hackensack NJ
This project was completed in Moonachie, NJ, near Hackensack, as part of American Star Locksmith’s commercial locksmith and access control services in Bergen County and North Jersey
The job was performed on an existing aluminum-and-glass storefront-style entrance.
Instead of replacing the full door or changing the entrance layout, the work focused on upgrading the locking hardware, tying it into the access control system, and giving the business a more practical way to manage daily entry.
The finished system allows authorized users to open the door with access cards, key fobs, or HID mobile credentials through a phone app.
Existing Door and Lock Setup
The entrance was originally equipped with an Adams Rite MS1952-215-628 Deadlock with Straight Bolt.
This is a common lock setup for narrow stile aluminum business doors.
It provides key-operated security, but it does not give the business the same level of access control, flexibility, or user management that an electronic system can provide.
For this project, Our goal was to keep the existing storefront door in place and convert it into a controlled electronic entry point.
On-Site Locking System Conversion
Before starting the installation, American Star Locksmith checked the existing door stile, lock prep, frame condition, strike area, and door alignment.
The original mechanical deadlock was removed and replaced with an Adams Rite 4300-30-2RP 4300 Steel Hawk Electrified Deadlatch RITE Pack Kit, 1-1/8″.
The new electrified deadlatch was installed into the existing aluminum door stile and aligned with the frame for proper latch engagement.
This part of the job required careful adjustment to make sure the door would close smoothly, latch securely, and release properly when activated by the access control system.

Keyscan and HID Reader Integration
After the lock hardware was installed, the door was connected to the building’s access control setup.
The system is controlled by a Keyscan CA150 panel and uses an HID Signo 20 Mullion Reader, model 20NKS-00-000000, mounted near the entrance.
The reader was installed in a clean, low-profile position that fits the narrow frame area of the storefront door.
It supports both 13.56MHz and 125kHz credentials and can work with OSDP / Wiegand communication, making it a strong fit for a professional business access control setup.
Card, Key Fob, and Mobile Access
The upgraded entrance now supports standard access cards, key fobs, and HID mobile credentials.
With HID Origo Mobile Identities, approved users can open the door using a mobile app on their phone.
This gives the business an easier way to manage access without relying only on physical keys or cards.
For employees, managers, or approved users, the system makes daily entry more convenient.
For the business, it also makes access easier to update when users are added or removed.
Why This Upgrade Matters
The main improvement was converting the entrance from a traditional key-operated lock to a managed electronic access point.
With the previous setup, access depended on physical keys.
If a key was lost, copied, or not returned, the business had limited control.
The new setup allows access to be managed through the system, using cards, key fobs, and mobile credentials.
Another important part of the job was preserving the existing storefront door.
The business received a modern access control upgrade without replacing the full aluminum-and-glass entrance system.
For a business property in Moonachie, NJ, this type of upgrade is a practical way to improve access control, daily convenience, and door security while keeping the existing entrance intact.

Final Testing
Once the installation was complete, American Star Locksmith tested the door operation on site.
The final check included latch alignment, door closing, electronic release, reader response, and credential function.
The door was tested to confirm that it latches securely and opens properly when an authorized card, key fob, or mobile credential is used.
