What can an access control and door entry specialist help with?

A secure door entry system can transform your property's safety, giving you complete control over who enters your home or business premises. It eliminates the stress and security risk of lost keys, allowing you to manage access directly from your smartphone, a key fob, or a central panel. Investing in professional access control also increases your property's security profile, making it far more appealing to premium insurers and prospective buyers.

An access control specialist can help you with:

  • Installing new entry systems: Keypad entry, RFID key fob systems, biometric (fingerprint or facial recognition) scanners, and smart video intercoms.
  • Upgrading existing hardware: Integrating wireless cloud-based controls or smart home connectivity with your current gates or doors.
  • Repairing and maintenance: Fault-finding on broken electronic releases, magnetic locks (maglocks), or distorted audio/video intercom feeds.
  • Commercial fit-outs: Setting up multi-tenant building interfaces, automated maglock fire-escape releases, and automated pedestrian gate systems.

If your current entry point is acting up or looking worse for wear, an access control specialist can get it back into perfect shape. Post a job on Rated People today to receive a free, no-obligation security installation quote.

Find a door entry specialist

What is the cost of typical door entry projects?

How much you end up spending on an access control system depends entirely on the technology and complexity you choose. Standard numeric keypads or standalone fob readers are highly budget-friendly options for side gates or single doors. On the other end of the scale, multi-apartment video intercoms or biometric access networks represent a higher upfront investment but provide premium, uncompromised security.

For tailored cost breakdowns according to your specific property layout, post your project today to get free quotes from local security specialists.

Factors to consider when choosing a security specialist

Because access control involves an intricate mix of low-voltage electrical wiring, physical door hardware alignment, and digital software setup, it requires a highly trained expert. When choosing a specialist on Rated People, look for professionals with verified experience in security installations, positive customer feedback, and up-to-date knowledge of smart technologies.

Other access control & door entry FAQ's

Do I need internet access for a smart door entry system?

While traditional keypad and key fob systems operate entirely on local wiring, modern smart video intercoms require a stable internet connection (via Wi-Fi or an Ethernet cable) to send live video feeds and remote unlock commands directly to your smartphone app. If your internet connection drops, the physical fobs or keycodes will still function locally to ensure you are never locked out.

Can an access control system be fitted to my existing doors?

In most cases, yes. A specialist can easily retrofit electronic locking mechanisms, such as magnetic locks (maglocks) or electric strikes, onto existing solid wood, UPVC, aluminium, or metal doors. However, the installer will need to inspect your door frame and alignment to ensure the electronic locks engage cleanly and meet fire safety regulations.

What happens to electronic door locks during a power cut?

Access control systems are designed with strict safety fail-safes. They are typically configured in one of two ways: Fail-Safe (the lock releases automatically when power is cut, which is standard for emergency fire exits) or Fail-Secure (the lock stays securely locked from the outside but allows manual exit from the inside). Most professional installers will integrate a backup battery supply to keep the system running normally for several hours during an outage.

John at Quebuild went above and beyond for us on this job. He completed all the work in a timely manner and for a very reasonable price. He was super knowledgeable and extremely attentive to detail, making sure to leave a high quality finish in terms of decoration - and he came back afterwards to address a few small things that needed doing. He was also a pleasure to have around - and I would highly recommend him for any other work. 10/10.
