Mississauga Dental Clinic Cuts Break-In Risk with Integrated Alarm & Access Control
A break-in attempt and no way to audit who was inside
The year before contacting Riowell, this 4-operatory dental clinic in Mississauga had experienced a break-in attempt on a Saturday evening. Fortunately, the perpetrators were deterred before gaining entry — but the incident exposed how vulnerable the facility was.
Beyond the exterior threat, the clinic had a recurring internal problem: staff regularly propped interior doors open for convenience, including the equipment storage room and the medication cabinet area. There was no audit trail, no accountability, and no way for the owner to know who had accessed sensitive areas after hours.
With an upcoming RCDSO facility inspection and growing concern about controlled substance storage security, the clinic needed a system that would satisfy regulatory requirements and provide genuine peace of mind — not just a basic alarm that most staff ignored.
Alarm, access, and monitoring fully integrated
We designed a layered security system that addressed both the external break-in risk and the internal access accountability gap — in a single integrated installation.
ULC-Certified Alarm System
A professionally certified alarm system with glass-break sensors on all ground-floor windows, door contacts, and passive infrared motion detectors — designed to meet RCDSO facility standards.
Card Access on 3 Interior Doors
Card readers installed on the medication storage room, equipment room, and private office — restricting access by role and time of day, with no physical key management required.
Audit Log Reporting
Every door event is logged with timestamp and credential. The clinic owner receives weekly reports and can pull an instant access history for any employee, at any door, at any time.
24/7 Monitoring with Police Dispatch
ULC-certified central station monitoring with direct police dispatch protocol — averaging under 4-minute response time to verified alarm events. No auto-cancellations without owner approval.
Passed inspection. Zero incidents. Peace of mind delivered.
The clinic passed its RCDSO facility inspection with no access control deficiencies noted. In 14 months since installation, there have been zero security incidents and a 90% drop in after-hours door events.
“We had a break-in attempt the year before. Now I can check exactly who accessed the medication storage room and when. That peace of mind is worth every dollar.”
