Site Survey & Door Design

We map every door, traffic flow, fire exit requirement, and user type β€” then specify locks, readers, and power that suit each opening without blocking escape routes.

Supply & Installation

Controllers, readers, locks, exit devices, and cabling installed neatly by experienced engineers with minimal downtime and a professional finish on every frame.

Users, Groups & Schedules

Departments, contractors, cleaners, and visitors set up with the right doors and times. Lost fobs are disabled in seconds β€” no rekeying entire buildings.

Commissioning & Handover

Full door tests, fail-secure / fail-safe checks, software training, and clear admin guides so your team can add users and pull reports confidently.

Fire & Life Safety Interface

Where required, doors release on fire alarm activation and emergency egress is protected β€” security never compromises safe evacuation.

Integration & Expansion

Link access control with CCTV, intruder alarms, and reception workflows β€” or expand door-by-door as your estate grows.

Credentials & Hardware

The Right Way In for Every User

Strong access control is a balance of credential type, door furniture, and software. We select components that fit your risk, aesthetics, and daily routines.

Proximity Fobs & Cards

Fast tap-to-enter credentials for staff and residents β€” easy to issue, easy to revoke, and ideal for high-traffic doors.

PIN Pads & Dual Auth

Keypad codes alone or combined with a fob for higher-security rooms, plant areas, and server suites.

Biometric Readers

Fingerprint or face recognition where credentials must not be shared β€” strong accountability for sensitive zones.

Video Door Entry

Camera call stations and indoor monitors so you identify visitors before unlocking communal or front doors.

Maglocks & Electric Strikes

Reliable locking hardware matched to each door type, fire rating, and fail-safe or fail-secure requirement.

Exit Buttons & Break Glass

Compliant egress devices, request-to-exit sensors, and emergency break-glass units for safe evacuation paths.

Always in Command

Manage Users, Doors & Reports With Clarity

Modern systems put live door status, schedules, and event history at your fingertips β€” so facilities teams stay in control without chasing physical keys.

  • Add, suspend, or delete users in minutes
  • Time-based access for shifts and contractors
  • Door forced / door held open alerts
  • Exportable audit trails for compliance reviews

Why Invest in Access Control

Security, Accountability & Everyday Convenience

A well-designed system replaces lost keys, controls contractor access, and gives you a clear record of who entered β€” without turning your building into a fortress.

Physical keys are shared, copied, and expensive to replace when staff leave. Electronic access lets you revoke a credential instantly, set time windows for cleaners and suppliers, and keep high-value areas locked to authorised users only.

We also design for fire safety, disability access, and reception workflows β€” so protection works with how your building actually operates every day.

No More Master Keys

Issue credentials digitally and disable them the moment someone leaves.

Who Went Where

Audit trails that support investigations, compliance, and HR queries.

Zone by Zone

Reception open, plant rooms locked β€” permissions match real roles.

Visitor Confidence

Video entry and controlled release keep unauthorised people out.

Where We Work

Access Control for Every Environment

Whether you need a single rear door secured or a multi-building estate managed from one dashboard, we design around how people actually move through your site.

Reception release, suite-level control, and contractor schedules for professional workspaces.

Residential & Blocks

Video door entry, resident fobs, and communal door management for apartments and estates.

Retail & Hospitality

Healthcare & Care

Sensitive areas protected with audit trails and credentials that support safe staffing patterns.

  • Scheduled inspections & battery checks
  • Reader, lock & exit device testing
  • Controller & power supply health checks

Common Questions

Access Control FAQs

Straight answers to the questions we hear most often from facilities managers, landlords, and business owners.

What is the difference between fobs, cards, and biometrics?

Fobs and cards are convenient proximity credentials that open a door with a tap β€” easy to issue and revoke. Biometrics (fingerprint or face) prove the person is present and cannot be easily shared, which suits higher-security rooms. We often mix types across a site.

Will access control interfere with fire escapes?

No β€” systems are designed with life safety first. Maglocks and controlled doors can release on fire alarm activation, and we specify compliant exit devices so people can always evacuate safely. We coordinate with your fire strategy and risk assessment.

Can I manage multiple sites from one place?

Yes. Cloud and networked platforms let facilities teams manage users, schedules, and reports across several buildings from a single dashboard β€” ideal for multi-site estates and growing organisations.

What happens if someone loses a fob or card?

You disable that credential in the software within seconds. Unlike metal keys, there is no need to change locks across the building. We train administrators on issuing replacements and keeping user lists clean.

Can access control integrate with CCTV and alarms?

Yes. Many clients trigger camera recording on door events, link access with intruder systems, or use reception workflows that combine video entry and door release. We design integrations around your existing security stack.

Do you cover Sussex and the wider UK?

Yes. We install and support access control systems across Sussex and further afield across the UK. Contact us with your postcode for availability and lead times.
