Access Control System

What is an access control system?

An access control system gives the operator the ability to restrict who has access, to which doors, at what times and days, for how long, or to automatically lock or unlock specific doors within certain timeframes. It also provides the opportunity to list who has accessed what door and at what time.

What are the benefits of access control systems?

Access control systems can be highly useful in many contexts. From increasing security in a domestic setting via automatic gates and cctv systems, to large commercial properties with complex security requirements, access control systems can be tailored to each specific need. They can provide a high level of security in one easy-to-manage installation, giving customers better value as well as the safety they require.

Types of access control systems

Access control systems come in an endless variety of setups. They are scalable from one door stand alone systems to networked systems within a cooperation whereby hundreds of doors may be controlled, all reporting back to one controller. Access Control can be applied to doors, gates, barriers, and bollards. Authorised Access may be gained by any of the following methods:

Fob
Card
Facial Recognition
Bio-Metrics (Finger Print)
Code
Push Button
Number Plate Recognition
Intercom
GSM Dial to open

Sliding gates offer a great alternative to swing gates. Perhaps you prefer them, or more likely the layout of your property demands a sliding gate as an alternative. A sliding gate can be one complete gate leaf that slides open either manually or by automation or you may require Bi-Parting where a pair of gates slide apart due to space constraints or for a faster opening time on a busy carriageway. We offer Wooden, Steel, Aluminium, and Composite/PVC sliding gates. We will help you select the right system and style to suit your home or business.
