Frequently Asked Questions

How much does access control installation cost?

Access control installation costs vary depending on the number of doors, type of system (card, mobile, biometric), and integration requirements. Basic single-door systems start from around £500-£1,000 per door, whilst comprehensive multi-door installations with advanced features cost more. We provide detailed quotations after assessing your specific requirements and premises.

What happens to access control during power failures?

Professional access control systems include battery backup that maintains operation during power outages. Controllers can be configured as fail-secure (doors remain locked) or fail-safe (doors unlock) depending on fire safety regulations and security requirements for each location. We ensure appropriate fail modes during installation planning.

Can access control systems integrate with existing security?

Yes, modern access control systems integrate seamlessly with CCTV cameras, intruder alarms, fire systems, and building management platforms. Integration provides enhanced security through coordinated system responses, unified management interfaces, and comprehensive reporting across all security systems for better oversight and efficiency.

How long does access control installation take?

Installation timescales depend on system complexity and building size. A basic single-door system can be installed in one day, whilst comprehensive multi-door installations across larger premises may take several days to weeks. We provide realistic timescales during project planning and work to minimise disruption to your operations.

What maintenance do access control systems require?

Access control systems require regular preventative maintenance including reader cleaning, battery testing, firmware updates, and system health checks. We recommend annual servicing to ensure reliable operation and identify potential issues before they cause system failures. Many clients choose our managed support contracts for comprehensive ongoing maintenance.

Can I manage the system remotely from multiple locations?

Yes, modern cloud-based and network-connected access control systems provide remote management capabilities from any location with internet connectivity. You can add users, revoke credentials, adjust access schedules, review access logs, and receive real-time alerts from anywhere using secure web browsers or mobile applications.

What credential options are available for access control?

We offer various credential technologies including proximity cards, key fobs, PIN codes, smartphone credentials (Bluetooth/NFC), and biometric options (fingerprint, facial recognition). Many systems support multiple credential types simultaneously, allowing flexibility for different user groups and security zones within your organisation.

How secure are card-based access control systems?

Modern card-based systems using encrypted credentials are highly secure. We specify professional-grade readers and credentials with advanced encryption that prevent cloning and unauthorised duplication. For higher security environments, we can implement multi-factor authentication combining cards with PIN codes or biometric verification for enhanced protection.

Can the system handle visitors and temporary access?

Yes, professional access control systems include visitor management features allowing temporary credentials with automatic expiry, escort requirements, and restricted access zones. Visitors can be issued physical cards, PIN codes, or mobile credentials that automatically deactivate after specified periods, eliminating security risks from unreturned visitor passes.

What training do you provide for system administrators?

We provide comprehensive training covering all aspects of system operation including adding/removing users, configuring access schedules, generating reports, responding to alarms, and basic troubleshooting. Training is tailored to your team's technical background and can be delivered on-site or remotely. We provide training documentation and ongoing support after initial installation.
