Door Entry, Keypad and Fob Access Control
Access control helps decide who can enter a building, room, office, staff area or restricted space. Instead of relying only on traditional keys, an access control system can use keypads, cards, fobs, proximity readers, door entry equipment or controlled electric locking.
Sanders Secure installs practical access control systems in Plymouth for businesses and managed premises that need better control over entry, staff access, visitor management and building security.
Access control can also be considered alongside intruder alarm systems, commercial CCTV systems, fire alarm systems and wider security upgrades where a joined-up approach is required.
Access Control Solutions We Can Help With
Every building is different, so access control should be designed around the door, the users, the level of security required and how the site operates day to day.
Keypad Access
Keypad access can be a simple and effective way to restrict entry to staff areas, stores, offices, side doors, gates or internal rooms without issuing traditional keys.
Fob and Card Access
Fob and proximity access systems can make it easier to manage staff access, add or remove users and reduce reliance on copied keys.
Door Entry
Door entry systems can help businesses and managed premises control who is allowed inside before the door is released.
Electric Locking
Electric locking can be used with suitable doors as part of a controlled entry system, including magnetic locks, electric releases and other suitable locking options.
Staff Access Control
Access control can help manage staff-only areas, stock rooms, offices, workshops, shared facilities and controlled internal spaces.
Repairs and Upgrades
We can inspect suitable existing access control systems and advise on repairs, replacement parts, upgrades or improvements where practical.
Access Control for Businesses
For businesses, access control can help protect staff, stock, offices, IT equipment, storage rooms, workshops and restricted areas.
It can also make day-to-day access easier by reducing the need for traditional keys, especially where staff changes, shared access or multiple users are involved.
Sanders Secure can advise on suitable access control for offices, shops, warehouses, hospitality venues, workshops, staff entrances and small commercial premises.
Access Control for Managed Buildings
For managed buildings, shared spaces and commercial premises, access control can help manage who enters the building, when access is allowed and which areas are restricted.
This can be useful for shared entrances, staff-only spaces, communal areas, landlord-managed properties, small offices and premises with multiple users.
Where required, access control can be considered alongside CCTV, alarms and fire safety arrangements to help create a more joined-up security approach.
What We Consider Before Installing Access Control
A good access control system should be practical, secure and suitable for the door and the people using it. Before recommending equipment, we consider how the building works day to day.
Typical access control considerations:
- The type and condition of the door
- Whether the door needs keypad, fob, card or door entry access
- How users will enter and exit safely
- Whether the door is internal or external
- Electric locking suitability
- Power supply and cable routes
- Fire safety and emergency exit requirements
- User management and future changes
- Integration with alarms or CCTV where suitable
Clear advice before installation
Access control needs to be installed sensibly, especially when it affects escape routes, fire doors, staff entrances or shared areas.
Sanders Secure can review the door, discuss how the space is used and recommend a practical option. Where specialist door works, joinery, glazing, fire door alterations or other trades are required, we will explain this clearly before work proceeds.
Our aim is to provide a system that improves security without making the building difficult or unsafe to use.
Access Control and Wider Security Systems
Access control is often most effective when considered as part of the wider security setup for the building.
