Founder’s Journey
Decades of Experience Behind Every System
AACS has been decades in the making. In fact, almost everything founder David E. Jones has done has led to the formation of American Access Control Systems, Inc. After studying civil engineering- surveying at West Virginia University at Morgantown, and Aviation maintenance technologies and management at Embry Riddle Aeronautical University at R.A.F Bentwaters England, and serving in the nation’s military, he began a career in access control door technologies. He spent years in the field installing and troubleshooting while working with various manufacturers’ technologies. As a project manager, he had the opportunity to gain a complete overview of the problems that plague the industry. It was at that time that he decided to start his own company and build something better from the ground up.
As a veteran, David has a deep sense of commitment to his nation and his neighbor. He firmly believes in supporting local businesses and is committed to building strength into the company by building strength into the nation, keeping AACS products US made from US components.
Having spent decades in the field, and years in research and development, David has dedicated his future to providing the best product and services money can buy.

Our Approach
Designed Around Your Needs, Built Without Compromise
Instead of “this is what we have” AACS has the attitude of “what can we do to help you”.
AACS portals are designed by technicians with ease of maintenance, repair, and inspection in mind. With over 20 years of experience across the security access control industry, we’ve seen every failure and heard every complaint. AACS was founded to address those shortcomings by incorporating real customer feedback into a more serviceable, reliable, and functional portal. Through extensive in-field testing and continuous refinement, we deliver robust security solutions built to exceed “good enough.” Our commitment to quality, reliability, support, and total cost of ownership is unwavering—because the stakes in building security are too high for compromise. Continuous improvement isn’t a phase at AACS; it’s part of our culture.
As a veteran-owned company, AACS is proud to be 100% Made in America. We use U.S. steel for durability, source premium components from American manufacturers, design with American engineers, and assemble our portals in West Virginia with highly trained technicians. This commitment to American businesses extends to every aspect of our operation, from manufacturing to our trusted partners.
