Controlled access systems offer a number of benefits, ranging from increased security to making lost keys a thing of the past. We can help you provide your property with the protection it deserves by installing a system which provides additional peace of mind and security where you need it most.
What are access control systems?
One of the most effective ways to achieve enhanced security is through a door access control systems. These systems offer a sophisticated solution to safeguarding entry points, allowing only authorised individuals to gain access. Not only are they suitable for installation in commercial properties, offices and business premises, but they are also becoming increasingly popular with homeowners and in settings such as residential care homes, nurseries and schools.
At its core, a door access control system is a mechanism that uses electronic means to regulate who can enter a building or specific areas within it. Instead of traditional keys, which can be easily duplicated or lost, these systems often employ smart cards, key fobs, or biometric data like fingerprints or facial recognition. This not only enhances security but also provides a record of who has entered or exited the premises, and at what time.
The Advantages of Door Access Control

The benefits of controlled access systems are manifold. Firstly, they eliminate the risk associated with lost or stolen keys. If a key card is misplaced, it can be swiftly deactivated, ensuring that security isn’t compromised. Secondly, they offer a higher level of customisation. For instance, businesses can set different access levels for employees based on their roles. A manager might have access to all areas, while a junior staff member might only be able to enter specific zones. This ensures that sensitive areas remain protected.
In addition, the latest door access control systems can be integrated with other security systems. For example, they can be linked to CCTV systems, allowing for real-time monitoring of entry points. They can also be connected to alarm systems, triggering alerts if there’s an unauthorised attempt to access a restricted area.
