Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about access control systems and our installation services

What type of access control system is best for my business?
The ideal system depends on your security requirements, number of users, and budget. Small offices often benefit from standalone card or PIN systems, while larger facilities require networked systems with centralised management. We conduct a free site survey to assess your needs and recommend the most suitable solution.
Can access control integrate with my existing security systems?
Yes, modern access control systems integrate seamlessly with CCTV, intruder alarms, fire alarm systems, and building management platforms. Integration allows automated responses such as locking doors during alarm activation, capturing video on access events, and unlocking doors during fire alarm activation for safe evacuation.
How do I manage user permissions and access levels?
Our access control systems include intuitive management software allowing you to easily add or remove users, set time-based access permissions, create user groups, and define access levels for different areas. Changes take effect immediately, and you can manage everything remotely via web browser or mobile app.
What happens during a power cut or fire alarm?
Access control systems are designed with fail-safe or fail-secure modes depending on the door's purpose. Fire exit doors automatically unlock during power failure or fire alarm activation to ensure safe evacuation. Secure areas can be configured to remain locked. Battery backup ensures the system continues operating during power outages.
Do you provide ongoing maintenance and support?
Yes, we offer comprehensive maintenance contracts including regular system health checks, software updates, user training, and priority callout for any issues. Our support team is available 24/7 for emergency assistance, ensuring your access control system remains fully operational and compliant.
How long does access control installation take?
Installation time varies based on system complexity and number of doors. A single-door system can typically be installed in one day, while multi-door networked systems may require several days. We work efficiently to minimise disruption, often scheduling installation outside business hours if preferred.
