Access Control: FAQs
What types of access control systems do you install?
We install a wide range of access control systems, including keypad entry, card and fob readers, biometric scanners (fingerprint and facial recognition), mobile access via smartphones, and fully integrated systems for both automatic and manual doors.
Can access control systems be customised to my specific business needs?
Absolutely. Each system we design is tailored to your building layout, security requirements, and user management preferences, ensuring you get a solution that fits perfectly with your operational needs.
How do access control systems improve security?
Access control restricts entry to authorised personnel only, preventing unauthorised access. It also provides detailed logs of access events, helping you monitor activity and respond quickly to security incidents.
Are your access control systems compliant with current safety regulations?
Yes. We ensure all installations comply with the latest regulations, including BS EN 16005 where relevant, so you can be confident your system meets legal and safety standards.
Can I manage access permissions remotely?
Many of our systems offer remote management capabilities, allowing you to update permissions, add or remove users, and monitor access activity from anywhere with an internet connection.
Do you offer maintenance and support for access control systems?
Yes, we provide ongoing maintenance and support packages to keep your system running smoothly and securely, including regular inspections, software updates, and prompt repairs.
How long does it take to install an access control system?
Installation times vary depending on the size and complexity of the system, but most projects are completed efficiently with minimal disruption. We provide a detailed timeline during the planning stage to suit your schedule.
What is a keypad entry system and how secure is it?
- Use unique PINs per user (6+ digits) and rotate them regularly.
- Enable lockout/anti-tamper after failed attempts and set time-based PIN expiry.
- Choose vandal-resistant, weather-rated keypads (e.g. IP65) with backlit keys for external doors.
- Integrate with a controller for audit trails, schedules and zone permissions.
- Reduce PIN sharing risks with 2-factor options (PIN + fob) on higher-security doors.
- Apply GDPR-compliant policies when logging access events.
What are card access control systems and are they right for my business?
Card access control systems use proximity cards or fobs to grant entry to authorised users, offering fast, reliable and auditable access without keys. They’re ideal for offices, clinics, schools and multi-tenant buildings across Birmingham and the West Midlands.
- Easy management: add, suspend or revoke users in seconds.
- Audit trails: monitor who entered, where and when.
- Scalable: from a single door to multi-site estates.
- Flexible credentials: cards, fobs or mobile credentials.
We design and install systems that integrate with automatic or manual doors, time schedules and visitor management. Learn more on our access control systems page or request a tailored quote.
