Access control

Access control in Brisbane, the Gold Coast and Redlands

Card readers, electronic locks and door control, so the right people get in without keys being cut and handed around. For homes, small businesses, property managers and body corporates.

What access control includes

Access control replaces a key with something you can manage. A card is read at the door, an electronic lock releases when the card is valid, and you decide who can open which door. We supply and install the readers and the locks, run the cabling, set the system up and show you how to add and remove people.

A lost card can simply be cancelled. A lost key usually means changing the lock.

Who it suits

Businesses that are tired of cutting keys for every new starter and chasing them back when people leave. Property managers and body corporates looking after shared entries and gates. And homes where a card at the front door is simply easier than a key.

For a business it also means one less thing to chase when staff change: a card is added on someone's first day and switched off on their last, and nothing has to be collected back.

Door entry with a card reader built in

Access control and intercoms often go together. Several of the video intercom door stations we install have a card reader built into the front panel, so visitors press the call button and the people who live or work there present their card. You can see them in the photographs on this page.

Options to suit the site

We are not tied to one supplier. The door stations with card readers in our photographs are Dahua, and on a larger site access control can be part of the same system as the alarm. We go through the options at the quote and explain the differences before anything is ordered.

Servicing, upgrades and cabling

A reader that has stopped reading, a lock that will not release, a system nobody remembers how to change: we do fault finding and repairs, preventative maintenance, and upgrades or replacements for access control, as well as the network and data cabling behind it. If the entry also needs CCTV, that can be done at the same time.

How the free on-site quote works

Every door is different, from its frame and its lock to where cable can reach it, so we look before we quote. Ring us, or book a free on-site quote and pick a day that suits. We come out and go door by door with you.

You then get a few options and a price, explained before anything is ordered. Once you are happy, we install it, set it up and show you how to manage it.

Questions

Access control: common questions

Do I need new doors for access control?

That depends on the door, its frame and the lock that is on it now, which is one of the things we check on site before we quote.

Can access control work with an intercom?

Yes. A video intercom door station with a card reader built in does both: visitors call, and the people who belong there use their card.

What happens if someone loses their card?

The card is cancelled in the system so it no longer opens anything, and a new one is issued. Nobody has to change a lock or collect keys back from everyone else.

Do you work with body corporates and property managers?

Yes. We look after homes, small businesses, property managers and body corporates, from a single door to a whole site.

Which areas do you cover?

Brisbane, the Gold Coast and Redlands, and everywhere in between. If you are just outside that, ask anyway.
