Services Door access
Door entry and access control
Control who comes into your building or site. We fit door entry intercoms, card and fob readers, and magnetic locks for doors and gates, so staff and visitors get in easily and everyone else stays out.
Our Door access work
Gate access lock
What is included
- Door entry intercoms for doors and gates
- Card and fob readers
- Magnetic locks for doors and gates
- Cards or fobs set up for the people you choose
Let the right people in
Visitors call through on the intercom and you let them in. People who are allowed in simply present a card or fob. If a card is lost, it can be stopped without changing the locks.
Homes, flats and sites
We fit door entry for homes and blocks of flats, and access control for offices, yards and sites with gates.
How an access job runs
We visit to see the doors or gates, how people arrive and who needs to get in. You get a free quote that lists the readers, locks and intercoms we would fit.
On the day we fit and wire everything, set up the cards or fobs for the people you choose, and show you how to add and remove them.
Choosing the right lock
Magnetic locks hold a door or gate shut until the reader or intercom releases them, which suits gates and busy doors. For some doors an electric strike or a different lock is a better fit. We will recommend what suits each door at the quote.
Working with your cameras
Access control and CCTV work well together: a camera over the entrance shows who came in and when. If you already have cameras, we can plan the access system around them.
Door access jobs we have done
Door access: common questions
What happens if someone loses a card or fob?
That card or fob can be removed from the system so it no longer opens the door, without changing any locks.
Can a gate be opened from inside the building?
Yes. Most entry systems we fit include a release button or a handset that opens the door or gate.
Can I open the door from my phone?
Some entry systems can be answered and opened from a phone app. Tell us if that matters to you and we will recommend a system that does it.
Do you fit door entry for blocks of flats?
Yes. We fit entry panels with a button for each flat and a handset or screen in each home, so residents can see or hear visitors before letting them in.
