Each system is tailored to meet your needs providing high quality, cost effective systems allowing audio/video communication from the door/gate to the handset or video monitor. Whether it be a one way system serving an individual property or a multi occupancy and entrance system allowing secure screening of the visitor before they enter the building we are able to tailor a system to your requirements.

Audio and video systems can be installed or upgraded in a digital or functional format. Door panels can incorporate access control equipment, specialist features for DDA compliance (Disability Discrimination Act) which can include Braille, large English text LCD displays, call progress spoken instructions, induction coils, illuminated call buttons, table mounted audio or video handsets with or without door monitoring and call mute facility, touch sensitive components, extension sounders/strobes and extension audio or video handsets for new or existing systems. Many existing systems can be upgraded utilising the existing cable network.

For communal door entry systems within harsher environments, the communal elements of the system can be manufactured and installed vandal resistant to withstand abuse such as the door panel, cabling containment and electronic locking which can be incorporated with the installation of a high security entrance door.

Access control systems

All buildings whether small, medium or large need to be protected. Traditional locks and keys have been securing properties since the 19th century however in today’s society more and more properties are becoming keyless enabling greater control over authorised access.

Electronic access control provides the most efficient and convenient way of securing a building. Installing an access control system means that you will never have to change a lock again. Fobs or swipe cards are issued to allow access through the controlled doors, and are easily barred from the system if they are lost, stolen or just not returned. Keypads are also a secure and cost effective way of allowing coded entry.

Access control can also offer flexible control over users access rights. For example, persons can gain access through the main door of a building, but access to internal areas may be restricted to those who have a specific need to be there. Access may also be restricted by time, only granting access to particular users at certain times of day or night. Some systems also allow the monitoring of authorised users recording data of when they enter and exit a building locally on site or remotely.

Access control equipment can be standalone or incorporated into a door entry system. Electronic locking can be configured in a fail secure or fail open format and locking options can be in the form of electronic releases, magnetic locks, sheer locks and deadlocking bolts. These can also be integrated into a fire alarm system which deactivates the locking in the event of a fire. The egress from doors incorporating the above is dependent on your requirements but free exit can be via an exit button or secure exit can be via additional access control equipment on the inside. In the event of an emergency a break glass unit/button can be installed to disable the electronic locking. An emergency fire access switch (drop key) can also be installed externally to communal entrance doors to provide access to emergency services.

Access control offers a secure, convenient, flexible and cost effective way of controlling who has access to your building and when that access is allowed. A range of the systems we offer are as follows:

• Keypad access
• Fob/swipe card access
• PC based systems
• Biometric readers

All of the above can be incorporated with the installation of a high security entrance door. For more information please visit our comprehensive high security door page.

We are able to install, maintain and repair existing systems including code changes, adding additional doors to your access control system, supplying and programming of additional access fobs/cards, the deletion of these and staff training on the correct management of the distribution of access fobs/cards.
