Access control

We start by understanding your building, how people use it every day, and where you specifically need to have access control. Gaining all this background information allows us to recommend an access control solution that is appropriate for your premises, whether you need to secure a single entrance or manage access across multiple areas or sites.

We can provide access solutions using technologies like proximity fobs, cards, and keypads, giving authorised users a convenient way to enter designated areas. Furthermore, individual credentials and permissions make it easier to manage who has access and amend the permissions when circumstances change.

Access control relies on the correct operation of the associated locking and exit equipment. We inspect and test electronic and electromagnetic locks, hands-free exit buttons, and emergency release devices to ensure your doors operate correctly and safely when access is granted or when people need to leave.

Access control systems can work alongside other building and security systems, including fire alarms, intruder alarms, gates, and door entry communication systems. We assess these whole-system performance requirements to ensure different elements work seamlessly together.

Regular inspection and testing help identify faults, wear, and any other issues before they grow  and affect the reliability or security of your system. Our maintenance visits include checks of readers, keypads, locks, exit devices, power supplies, batteries, software, and databases, with all findings recorded and reported.

Access requirements do not stay the same forever – nor are they expected to. People frequently join and leave organisations, responsibilities change, and areas of a building often require differing levels of security. Our team will support your ongoing system management, including reviewing access rights, checking audit trails, carrying out appropriate software or firmware updates, and helping maintain system configuration and user data.
