Door Entry and
Access Control Systems
Audio and video door entry systems, fob and keypad access, smart locks, intercom upgrades and full multi-door commercial access control. From a single residential video doorbell through to a multi-zone commercial access system with audit logging. NAPIT registered, GDPR friendly, fully certified.
We design and install door entry and access control systems for homes, HMOs, offices, retail and industrial premises. Single-door video intercoms with handsets or smartphone apps, multi-tenant audio and video systems for HMOs and apartment blocks, keypad and fob entry for offices, smart locks (Yale, Schlage, Aqara) integrated with the alarm and CCTV, plus commercial multi-door access control with cardholder management and audit logging. Every install is GDPR friendly, BS 7671 certified and tied in to your existing security system where one exists.
A door entry system is your front line of property security
The front door is the most-tested entry point on any property. A proper door entry system gives you visual or audio confirmation of who is at the door before opening it, controlled access for tradespeople, deliveries and family members and (on commercial sites) a full audit log of who entered the building and when. Most cheap systems we are called to fix have weak power supplies, inadequate cabling and no GDPR compliance for the video recording side.
We design every system properly: dedicated 24V or 12V DC supply with battery backup, screened cabling for video signals, GDPR friendly recording where applicable, integration with the alarm and CCTV systems where wanted and proper user training so the family or staff actually use it.
- Audio and video systems sized to property layout and user count
- Battery backup so doors still work in a power cut
- GDPR compliant video recording with proper notice signage
- Smart lock and keypad fallback options always included
- Full BS 7671 certification on all 230V supply work
The specs behind
door systems that work
A few key specs decide whether your door entry system will work reliably and stay compliant with current regulations.
Standard PSU Spec
Most door entry systems run on 24V DC. Quality power supplies with battery backup keep the door working through power cuts and brownouts.
Video Cabling
Modern IP-based video door entry runs over CAT6 ethernet. Crisp HD video, expandable to multiple monitors and smartphone apps over the same cable.
Recording Compliance
Any video recording requires GDPR compliance: signage at the door, recording notice in lease or employment contract and retention policy.
Always Have a Fallback
We design systems with 3 access methods minimum: app, fob/keypad and traditional key override. No single point of lockout if one fails.
