Access Control for London properties

We work across London, most regularly in the north and east where the run in from Harlow is straightforward — the Lea Valley corridor, Enfield, Waltham Forest, Redbridge and into the City fringe.

London work skews commercial and multi-occupancy: door entry on blocks of flats, access control on offices and studios, camera systems on managed buildings. Flats and converted houses need door entry that several residents can live with, not just a lock.

What we do here

  • Paxton Net2 systems, from a single door up to a whole building
  • Fob, card, keypad and reader entry
  • Maglocks, electric strikes and door closers
  • Free exit buttons, break-glass units and emergency override
  • Adding doors to a system somebody else installed
  • Fault-finding on readers, locks and controllers

Homes and businesses in London

Domestic

Homes in London

On a house or a private block, access control usually means gates, a garage or a communal front door — something the household can open without carrying another key, and that a visitor cannot prop open.

Commercial

Businesses in London

This is where most access control work sits. Offices, trade counters, studios, warehouses and managed buildings. The value is not the lock, it is that a leaver’s fob dies at 5pm on their last day without changing a single barrel, and that you can answer the question of who was in the building.

Getting to you

Straight down the M11 or the A10 depending on where in London you are. We are based in Harlow, CM19, and London is part of our regular patch rather than an outlying job — which is the difference between a same-day call-out and a date in a fortnight.

We survey the property before quoting. On access control in particular the right answer depends on the building, so a price down the phone would be a guess.

Frequently asked questions

  • How quickly can you get to London?

    Straight down the M11 or the A10 depending on where in London you are. We aim to reach call-outs the same day and to fix the fault on that visit rather than booking a return.

  • Can you add doors to a system that is already installed?

    Usually yes. If it is Paxton we can almost always extend it. If it is another manufacturer we will look at it first and tell you honestly whether extending or replacing is the better spend.

  • What happens if the power goes off?

    It depends how the door is specified. Fail-safe locks release on power loss so people can get out; fail-secure locks stay locked. Fire escape routes have to be able to open, and we will design the doors around that.

Tell us the property and what you want covering. We survey before we quote, and the engineer who walks round the building is the one who installs the system.
