Control, visibility and compliance at every door
Access control replaces keys with credentials you can issue, change and cancel in seconds. Permissions follow the person: their role, the time of day and the areas they need. Staff move freely, visitors and contractors only reach their assigned areas, and every event is logged.
That log is the point. When something happens, you can see who was where and when. When an auditor asks, the report is ready. When a card goes missing, it’s cancelled before anyone can use it, with no rekeying.
What we install
- Readers and credentials: cards, fobs, mobile credentials (phone-based access) and PIN readers. Biometric readers are available where lawful and appropriate, with the user’s consent.
- Doors, gates and barriers: front doors, internal doors, sensitive rooms, pedestrian and vehicle gates, boom gates and turnstiles.
- Lifts: floor-by-floor access for multi-tenant buildings.
- Controllers and software: Gallagher, Inner Range Integriti and Inception, Genetec Synergis, ICT Protege and Tecom Challenger.
- Visitor and contractor management: temporary credentials, induction checks and time-limited access.
Designed for growth and integration
Our systems scale from a single site to multi-site networks managed from one place. Add doors, buildings or users without starting again. Access control works best as part of a whole: we link it to CCTV, so every access event can be checked on video, and to intercoms and alarms, so your team sees the full picture.
Built for your environment
- Corporate offices and headquarters: staff, tenant and lift access, with visitor passes for guests and contractors.
- Government facilities: multi-level clearances and traceable records for compliance.
- Transport and logistics: controlled access to docks, yards and loading bays.
- Utilities and critical infrastructure: high-risk zones limited to authorised technicians, monitored through linked CCTV.
- Data centres and IT: tightly restricted server rooms and comms areas, with real-time alerts on any attempted breach.
- Healthcare and education: time-based access to clinical, administration, staff-only and student areas.

FAQs
What are the benefits of access control over keys?
Keys can be copied, lost or kept by former staff. Credentials can be cancelled instantly, permissions changed in seconds, and every entry is recorded. There’s no rekeying when someone leaves.
Can we manage access across multiple sites?
Yes. Gallagher, Integriti and Genetec all support multi-site management, so you can set permissions, run reports and respond to alarms for every site from one system.
Can staff use their phones instead of cards?
Yes. Mobile credentials let staff open doors with their phone. They’re harder to share or copy than cards and easy to issue remotely.
Can access control integrate with our CCTV and intercoms?
Yes. Integration lets your team see video of an access event, verify visitors before letting them in, and manage everything from one screen.
What happens if a card is lost?
It’s cancelled straight away and a replacement issued, with no lock changes needed.
Can you upgrade our existing system?
Often, yes. We can extend or migrate existing Integriti, Tecom, Gallagher and other systems, and reuse hardware where it makes sense.
Do you provide ongoing support?
Yes. We offer preventative maintenance plans, software updates and 24/7 emergency support.
