What we do
Door entry systems, installed and repaired.
Door access control decides who can open a door, and when. We fit the system, wire it in properly, and repair it when it fails.
Maglocks
Magnetic locks on entrance doors, released by a button, fob or intercom. We plan how they release with the fire alarm and the power.
Fob and card access
Fob and card readers for offices, shops and shared doors. Add or remove a fob when staff or tenants change.
Keypad entry
Code keypads for doors that many people use, such as back doors, stores and plant rooms where handing out fobs is a hassle.
Exit buttons and break glass
A push-to-exit button and a green emergency door release on the inside of controlled doors, so people can always get out.
Door entry repairs
A dead panel, a lock that will not release, a silent handset. We find the fault and repair it, or tell you plainly if it needs a new system.

- Written quoteYou get the quote in writing. The price is agreed with you before any work starts.

- HandoverWe show you how to use it, and how to add or remove fobs, codes and users.
Good to know
Door access control: what to check first.
Escape doors must open
Under the Fire Safety Order, emergency doors must not be locked so they cannot be opened easily and immediately. We plan how a lock releases with the fire alarm and the power.
Plan for fobs changing hands
Tenants and staff leave. Choose a system where a lost or old fob can be switched off and a new one added, so you are not changing locks each time.
Audio or video entry
Audio is simpler. Video lets residents see who is at the door before they open it. It suits shared entrances where visitors are unknown. We talk it through at the survey.

Door access questions.
How much does door access control cost?
It depends on how many doors, how many users, the type of lock and the state of the cabling. So every job is a quote after a survey. You get the quote in writing, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
Can you repair an existing door entry system?
We repair door entry and access control: dead panels, handsets that do not ring, locks that will not release, readers that stop reading. We look at it at the survey and tell you whether repair or a new system makes more sense.
Should I choose fobs, keypads or an intercom?
Fobs suit staff and tenants, as each one can be switched off. Keypads suit doors many people use, but codes get shared. Intercoms suit shared entrances with visitors. Many buildings use a mix. We advise at the survey.
What about fire alarms and escape doors?
Doors on an escape route must open easily when someone needs to leave, so locks there are normally arranged to release on the fire alarm and on power loss. We plan door access and fire alarm together at the survey, and we also install fire alarms.
Are you NSI or SSAIB approved?
No. We're not NSI, SSAIB or BAFE approved, and we don't offer monitoring or keyholding. We install and repair door entry and access control. If an insurer or client needs an approved installer, check that first.
Does my building need anything else?
For a business, or the shared parts of a block of flats, the responsible person usually has to carry out a fire risk assessment. It sets out what fire safety is needed. We can fit door access around what it recommends.
