Control who goes where & when!

Access control systems increase security by giving you the ability to limit personnel access to doors, lifts, gates and barrier arms within a building or compound. The systems can be used to log and monitor the activity of staff or tenants and to trace personnel movements within a building. These systems can be easily modified to accommodate changing personnel or access requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does access control installation typically take?
Installation timeframes depend on system complexity and door count. The process includes site preparation, hardware installation, network configuration, programming, testing, and training. Professional installers provide detailed timelines during planning, scheduling work to minimise business disruption.
Can access control be installed on existing doors?
Professional installers work with virtually any existing door configuration, though some scenarios are more straightforward than others. Standard commercial doors are ideal, while glass doors or gates may require specialised hardware. Installers evaluate each door's compatibility and recommend solutions maintaining security without compromising aesthetics. Most existing doors can be retrofitted without replacement.
Should I hire an electrician or specialised security installer?
While licensed electricians handle electrical aspects, specialised security installers offer expertise specifically in access control including networking, programming, and integration. The best approach often involves security companies employing or partnering with licensed electricians, ensuring both electrical code compliance and security system expertise for installations that are safe and functionally optimal.
