Access Control Systems
Complete solutions for commercial security
Every system we design integrates seamlessly with your facility's existing infrastructure. From standalone card readers to fully networked security platforms connecting doors, cameras and building management, our expertise spans hardware, software and infrastructure.
Card Readers & Smart Cards
Proximity, smart card and mobile credential readers that authenticate personnel instantly and log every entry. Compatible with all major access control platforms. Support for multi-technology readers that accept both legacy cards and modern mobile credentials during migration.
Biometric Identification Systems
Fingerprint scanners, retina readers and palm recognition systems provide the highest level of identity assurance. Credentials cannot be lost, stolen or shared. Ideal for data centers, research labs, pharmaceutical storage and executive suites requiring absolute access certainty.
Keypad & Keyless Entry
PIN-based keypads and wireless keyless entry systems eliminate the cost and hassle of physical key management. Credentials are issued and revoked instantly from a central dashboard. Perfect for employee entrances, storage rooms and mechanical spaces with rotating access needs.
Integrated Facility Networks
We connect your access control platform with CCTV, intrusion detection, intercoms and building management systems. One interface for security operations, visitor management and occupancy monitoring. Reduces training burden and eliminates gaps between siloed security systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is electronic access control?
Electronic access control replaces or supplements traditional keys with credentials such as key cards, fobs, mobile phones, PIN codes or biometrics. You decide who can open which doors and when, and the system logs every entry, so you always know who accessed your facility.
Which type of credential is best for my business?
It depends on your security needs, budget and how often staff change. Key cards and fobs are familiar and affordable, mobile credentials remove the cost of replacing lost cards, and biometrics give the highest level of identity assurance for sensitive areas. Many businesses combine them, for example cards for general entry and biometrics for server rooms.
Can you work with our existing doors or access control system?
In many cases, yes. We assess your current doors, hardware and system first, and where possible we integrate with what you have rather than replacing everything. Multi-technology readers can accept both older cards and newer credentials, so you can migrate gradually.
What's the difference between cloud-based and on-premise access control?
On-premise systems run on a server at your facility and are managed locally. Cloud-based systems are managed through a web dashboard or app, so you can update access, issue credentials and review logs from anywhere, and they're easier to scale across multiple sites. We can help you weigh up which suits your facility.
What happens if someone loses a key card or leaves the company?
Their credential can be deactivated straight away from the system, with no need to change locks or reissue keys. This is one of the biggest advantages of access control over traditional keys, especially in buildings with frequent staff or tenant turnover.
What happens to the doors during a power outage?
That depends on how each door is configured. "Fail-safe" locks unlock when power is lost, which is often required on exit routes for life safety, while "fail-secure" locks stay locked to protect sensitive areas. We design each door to meet life-safety requirements and can add backup power to keep the system running.
Can access control connect to our cameras and alarm system?
Yes. We can integrate access control with CCTV, intrusion alarms, intercoms and building management systems, so you can, for example, automatically record video when a door is forced or held open, and manage security from one place.
Can access control help with compliance requirements?
Access control systems keep detailed audit trails of who accessed which areas and when. These records can support audits and compliance requirements in regulated environments such as healthcare, finance and data centers. We can configure reports to suit your requirements.
How much does access control cost?
Costs depend mainly on the number of doors, the type of readers and locks, whether the system is cloud-based or on-premise, and how much wiring and door work is needed. The best way to get an accurate figure is a free security audit, after which we provide a clear, itemized estimate.
