Access Control

Control who can go where, and when — with a record of every door, every user and every entry.

Overview

Keys cannot be audited and cannot be revoked. Access control replaces them with credentials you can issue, restrict by time and area, and remove the moment somebody leaves.

We install systems that scale from a single controlled door to a site-wide estate, and set them up so that day-to-day administration is genuinely manageable by your own team.

What this covers

Proximity, fob, card and PIN access systems
Single-door and networked multi-door systems
Time-based and zone-based access rules
Entry and exit recording
Integration with door entry and CCTV
Electric locks, maglocks and strike installation
Fail-safe and fail-secure configuration
User administration and handover training

Not sure what you need?

Describe the property and what has gone wrong before. A short conversation usually settles whether a site visit is the right next step.

Why it matters

What you get from doing this properly.

01

Lost credentials are not lost keys

A missing fob is deactivated in seconds. A missing key means changing locks.

02

Access by role and hour

Cleaners, contractors and staff can each be given access to only the right areas at the right times.

03

An audit trail

Entry records tell you who opened which door and when, which matters for both security and accountability.

04

Safe under fault

Lock selection and fire interfacing are set up so egress is never compromised by the access system.

How we work

Five steps, in the same order every time.

A deliberately unremarkable process. Most of the problems we are asked to fix come from skipping one of these stages.
  1. ConsultationWe start by understanding the problem rather than quoting equipment.
  2. Site AssessmentNothing is specified until the building has been looked at properly.
  3. Solution DesignA specification you can read, understand and compare.
  4. InstallationCareful work, clean site, minimal disruption.
  5. Support & MaintenanceHandover, then an ongoing relationship rather than a closed job.

Next step

Talk to us about access control.

Tell us about the property and what you are trying to achieve. For anything beyond a very small job we will arrange a site visit, because specifying equipment without seeing the building rarely produces an accurate price.
