Access Control

Card, fob and keypad access control systems, specified to release safely on activation of your fire detection system. Based in Stockport, covering Greater Manchester, Cheshire and the Peak District, with sites nationwide.

Single-door setups through to networked, multi-site access control — card, fob, keypad or biometric readers, specified to how people actually move through the building.

Where access control sits on a fire door or escape route, it has to fail safe the moment the fire alarm activates. That's a BS 7273‑4 requirement, and it sits directly at the overlap between our two specialisms.

We're based in Stockport and install access control systems across Greater Manchester, Cheshire and the Peak District, with sites covered further afield across the UK.

STANDARD

BS 7273‑4

BS 7273-4 governs how access control on a fire door or escape route must release when the fire alarm activates. Because we design fire alarms ourselves, the interlock is specified as part of the system from day one.

What's Included

Scope of work.

  • Single-door to multi-site networked systems
  • Card, fob, keypad & biometric readers
  • Fire-alarm interlocked release to BS 7273-4 so doors fail safe in an alarm condition
  • Integration with CCTV & intruder alarm
  • Visitor / permission management options
