Access Control FAQs (24)
Yes — we configure all systems in line with GDPR, controlling personal data storage and ensuring only authorised staff can access logs.
Absolutely. We can link access events to CCTV footage or trigger alarms when unauthorised entry is attempted — ideal for commercial sites or schools.
Yes — our systems allow you to set user permissions, access times, and zones. You can easily add or remove users, track entry logs, and restrict access to secure areas.
Definitely — all our networked systems are scalable, allowing you to add doors, users, and buildings without replacing existing equipment.
Of course — we offer free surveys across Lincolnshire and North East Lincolnshire, with a no-obligation quote and tailored recommendations for your premises.
Yes — networked systems record full event logs and can generate reports for security, attendance, or HR purposes.
Yes, we can design integrated systems so access events trigger CCTV recordings or alarm notifications.
Yes — all systems are designed to automatically release in the event of a fire alarm activation, maintaining compliance with fire safety regulations.
Yes — many modern access control systems offer remote unlock and live status features through secure apps or browser dashboards.
Yes — we can use wireless or surface-mounted hardware to minimise disruption and protect the building’s structure while maintaining functionality.
Yes — we offer a range of audio and video intercom systems, including Hikvision Villa and Paxton Entry, allowing you to identify visitors before granting access.
Yes — our team is trained in gate automation and DHF safety standards to ensure compliance and safe operation.
Yes — we install and maintain automated gates, barriers, and turnstiles, including full safety checks under DHF TS 011 / BS EN 12453 standards.
Yes — we provide planned maintenance to test all readers, locks, and fail-safe mechanisms, and offer emergency support for system faults.
Yes — we include full user training during handover, covering adding/removing users, scheduling access times, and viewing reports.
Yes — we provide fobs, cards, and mobile-credential access options. We can also customise user credentials with logos or colours for your site.
Prices vary depending on the number of doors, hardware type, and whether it’s standalone or networked. A single-door keypad system starts from a few hundred pounds installed, while multi-door systems are quoted after a free site survey.
Fobs and cards are generally more secure than shared PINs. For high-security sites, we can implement multi-factor authentication (fob + PIN or fob + biometric).
You can quickly deactivate lost credentials to maintain security. Networked systems allow instant removal via the software.
We install a range of maglocks, electric strikes, solenoid bolts, and motor locks depending on your door type, usage level, and fire-escape requirements.
We install Paxton, CDVI, and SALTO systems — from standalone door entry units to full networked access control solutions.
All new installations come with a 1-year parts and labour warranty. Extended maintenance contracts include ongoing testing, firmware updates, and discounted call-outs.
Standalone systems manage each door independently — perfect for small sites.
Networked systems are controlled centrally from a PC or cloud platform, ideal for larger or multi-building setups where full audit trails and remote management are required.
With regular servicing, a good-quality system can last 10–15 years or more, with readers and locks replaced as technology evolves.
