Access Control Devices & Pricing
Indoor kiosk — $599
A compact check-in station for your front desk
Set up a dedicated scan station on your reception counter. Members present their card, the reader scans it, and the screen displays their card and access result. Your team can see who is checking in and whether their access is valid.
Best for: staffed reception areas, membership check-in and a dedicated indoor access station.
Outdoor kiosk — $1,999
A dedicated kiosk for your exterior access point
Bring the same scan-and-validate experience to an outdoor entrance. The screen and reader are housed in a lockable brushed stainless-steel cabinet, with a scanning opening on the front.
Best for: exterior entrances where you need a dedicated enclosed scan station. We’ll help confirm the mounting location and site requirements for your installation.
Start planning your entrance
Work with one of our business development leaders to create an access control point that helps control member traffic, recapture lost revenue and simplify reporting.

Swing gate barrier — Mairs MT313
$1,999 per complete lane, including an indoor kiosk

Questions and answers
How much does an access control system cost for a sports facility?
With Activity Messenger, a single-entrance setup starts at $599 for hardware plus a monthly subscription for your fully integrated booking and facility management software. Access control packages may include a turnstile, or several indoor and outdoor access points, depending on the unique needs of your sports facility. Installation, training and support are included in every quote, so there are no separate labour or service fees.
Is installation included in the access control price?
Yes. Activity Messenger provides a quote and co-installs your access control hardware on-site as part of your package. We work with your team to set up the devices, connect them to the software, test every gate and train your staff before you go live.
Why should I buy access control hardware and software from the same vendor?
It's about responsibility and consolidating your support. One provider means one team is responsible when something stops working. With two vendors, the hardware company can often blame the software company, and the reverse. Meanwhile your gate is down and check-in issues start piling up. Activity Messenger supports the whole system, so problems get fixed faster. You have one engaged and responsive support team, and you can avoid paying two companies for troubleshooting.
How long does it take to get access controls up and running?
The timeline depends on how many access points you have, whether wiring is needed, and how quickly devices ship. We plan the schedule with you during the quote process, so you know your go-live date in advance.
Is there a number to call to request my access control quote?
Yes. You can call 1-855-455-8125 x 205 for Jonathan. Or, book a call directly on Jonathan's calendar here.
