Residential Access Control Systems

Access control systems add vital protection and convenience for homeowners and residential buildings by ensuring only authorised individuals can enter, which helps prevent intruders and reduces the risk of burglary.

Instead of relying on traditional keys, you can secure entry points using PIN codes, key fobs, or biometric readers that are unique to each family member, offering a safer and more controlled way to manage access.

Whether you need a simple keypad for a single flat or a comprehensive gated entry system for a large estate, we design and install domestic access control systems tailored to keep your home secure and convenient.

Modern Access Control Systems

We also provide lift access control systems to restrict who can use lifts or reach certain floors, which is especially important in multi-storey buildings. These integrate smoothly with door access systems for a unified setup.

For the highest security, we offer biometric systems using fingerprints or facial recognition, preventing unauthorised access and removing the need for keys or cards. These can be used alone or with other methods for extra protection, and all personal data is handled securely.

Access Control System Installation FAQs

An access control system works by checking a person’s credentials, such as a keycard, fob, PIN code, or biometric identifier, against an approved list to decide whether to grant entry. When someone tries to unlock a door or gate, the system reads their credential and verifies it against the authorised user profiles in the database. If the credentials are valid and permission for that entry point is confirmed, the door unlocks, allowing access, and the event is recorded.

If the credentials do not match or the person does not have permission for that area, the system stays locked and usually logs the attempt. Modern access control systems include a software interface that allows administrators to manage users easily, add or revoke access, and monitor activity or alerts in real time.

Residential access control systems improve home security by ensuring that only authorised people can enter your property. Instead of using traditional keys, which can be lost, stolen, or copied, these systems rely on more secure options such as electronic fobs, keypads, or biometric identification linked to each individual homeowner or resident. This means that your front door, gate, or garage will only open for those you have approved, preventing unauthorised entry and greatly reducing the risk of break-ins.

Creating a user access control system involves careful planning and setting up both rules and technology to manage who can access different resources or areas. We start by identifying what needs protection and defining user roles or permission levels. Then, you choose an appropriate solution, whether software for digital access or a physical system for doors, and set up the required infrastructure. Each authorised user is given unique credentials, such as secure passwords, key fobs, cards, or biometric registration, and their access rights are configured according to their role and schedule.

There are several types of access control systems available, each using a different method to authenticate and allow entry. Common examples include:

  • PIN Code Systems: Require users to enter a numeric code on a keypad to unlock a door. Codes can be easily changed or removed as needed. 
  • Key Card or Fob Systems: Use RFID cards or key fobs that users swipe or tap on a reader. The system checks the card’s code against authorised entries and unlocks if there’s a match. This is popular in offices and apartments because cards/fobs are easy to carry and can be quickly deactivated if lost. 
  • Smartphone Based Access: Uses mobile credentials (often via a Bluetooth or NFC enabled app) to allow entry. Users’ smartphones act as the “key”. This offers convenience for example, a wave of your phone can unlock the door and can leverage cloud management to update permissions instantly.
  • Biometric Systems: Rely on unique personal traits like fingerprints, facial recognition, iris scans, or voice recognition. These systems provide very high security since the credential is part of the user themselves. Biometric access control readers ensure only authorised individuals can gain access using their unique biometric identifiers.
