Access control systems for your building
Access control controls who can enter which parts of your building, and leaves a record when they do. We design, install and support access control systems sized to the site — from a single door to a multi-floor, multi-tenant building.
Access control and infrastructure
Why is access control an I.T. job?
Modern systems run on the network, which means doors, readers and controllers are part of your I.T. infrastructure, not separate from it. We plan access control alongside cabling and network design so the door hardware, power, network points and software are all considered before anything is installed.

Working with recognised hardware
Which access control hardware do you supply?
We install and support systems built on Paxton and Salto hardware, specified to suit the site and the way people actually move through it.
We supply and install Paxton and Salto systems.
How do we deliver an access control system?
The journey runs survey, design, install, commission, support. We survey the site and map how people move through it: staff, visitors, contractors and deliveries. We design the doors, readers, credentials and power, and plan the cabling and network points at the same time so retrofitting is avoided. We install and commission the system, configure integration with CCTV and door entry where needed, and support it afterwards.
Frequently asked questions
What is access control?
Access control is a system that controls and records who can enter a building or specific areas, using credentials such as fobs, cards, PINs or mobile devices.
Why does access control need network cabling?
Most modern access control systems run over the network, so each door needs a data connection and power. Planning cabling at the same time as the access control avoids costly retrofitting later.
Can access control be integrated with CCTV?
Yes. Access control events and CCTV footage can be viewed together, so you can see who entered and when on the same system.
Can you upgrade an existing access control system?
Yes. We assess what is installed, reuse controllers and wiring where they are sound, and upgrade readers, credentials and software where they fall short. We also support systems we did not install.
