Sound familiar?

Signs your access control needs attention

1

Lost fobs stay active

There’s no quick way to cancel a credential, so lost or unreturned fobs still open doors.

2

Every change needs a technician

Adding tenants, changing access times or updating car park access means waiting for a call-out.

3

No record of who went where

When something happens, there’s no reliable log to check.

4

Unreliable doors and readers

Doors that fail to lock or release, readers dropping offline, and equipment nobody can support.

What you get

Control that’s easy to manage day to day

  • Remote credential management: add, suspend or cancel fobs, cards, PINs and mobile credentials from anywhere.
  • Access by zone and schedule, so residents, tenants, cleaners and contractors only get the access they need.
  • Car park and lift floor control integrated with building entry.
  • Event logs and reporting showing who accessed which door and when.
  • Integration with intercom and CCTV, so the building runs as one system rather than three.
  • Reliable, supportable hardware, with correct power supply and battery backup design.

Doors and compliance

Access control on doors has to work with fire and egress requirements. We design door hardware and releases so people can always exit safely, and we coordinate with the building’s fire services where needed.

Existing system? We can audit it first, including controllers, power supplies, readers and door hardware, and tell you honestly whether to repair, upgrade or replace.

Where we install

FAQ

Common questions about access control

Can we keep our existing fobs or cards?

Sometimes. It depends on the credential technology and the new system. Where re-enrolment is needed, we plan it with the building manager to keep disruption low.

Can access be managed remotely?

Yes. Modern systems let authorised managers add, change and cancel access from a browser or app, without a site visit.

Can residents use their phone instead of a fob?

Many systems support mobile credentials alongside fobs and cards. We’ll explain the options for your building.

What happens in a power failure or fire?

Systems are designed with battery backup, and doors are configured so people can always exit safely in line with fire and egress requirements.

Can you work on our existing system?

Yes. We can audit and service existing systems, and recommend repair, expansion or replacement based on what we find.
