Access control and door entry in Inverness
We work across Inverness regularly, so attendance for both installation and callbacks is realistic rather than aspirational. There is a mix of housing, high street premises and light industrial here, so the work ranges from single-door video entry to multi-door commercial systems.
City-centre premises here often need the entrance controlled without making it unwelcoming, which usually points to video entry plus a fob reader. Whatever the premises, the process is the same: we survey the doors, quote in writing per opening, and commission the system properly before anyone signs anything off.
Why buildings in Inverness move off keys
Often it is administrative rather than dramatic: staff turnover has made key control impossible, and nobody wants to rekey a building every time somebody leaves.
- Gated and yard sites — gate intercoms, long-range readers, barriers and ANPR for permit holders.
- Retrofit and repair — fault-finding on all common makes, with honest repair-versus-replace numbers.
- Schools and nurseries — controlled single points of entry, visitor management and safeguarding-aware layouts.

Coverage and response
Inverness sits in the IV postcode area within Highland. Survey visits are normally arranged within a few working days, and a building left insecure or a block with residents locked out is prioritised ahead of planned work. Photos help more than descriptions. Send one of the door and one of the panel and we can usually tell you what you are dealing with.
Fire doors and escape routes
Any electrically locked escape door in Inverness must fail safe, be hard-wired to the fire alarm, and have a green emergency break-glass release beside it. We test the release with the alarm at commissioning and issue the record, because that is the document your fire risk assessor will ask to see.

Access control in Inverness — questions
Do you install access control in Inverness?
Yes. Inverness is inside our Highland coverage and we work there regularly. Postcodes here start IV — give us the full postcode when you enquire and we will confirm the survey slot.
How much does a door entry system cost in Inverness?
A single video door entry install in Inverness typically lands between £780 and £1,450 including fitting, and a fob-reader door between £700 and £1,300. Multi-door sites work out cheaper per door. The free survey turns that range into a fixed figure.
Can you repair an existing system in Inverness?
Yes, on all common makes. Get the make and model off the panel before you call and we can usually narrow the fault in advance — most so-called panel failures turn out to be power supply, battery or water ingress.
Do you work on systems installed by someone else?
Yes. We repair, service and extend all common makes of access control, door entry and intercom, whoever installed them. If a system is genuinely beyond economic repair we will say so and show you the numbers for both options.
Does the door have to unlock when the fire alarm sounds?
On a designated escape route, yes. The locking must fail safe and release on alarm, free mechanical egress must be maintained, and every maglocked escape door needs a green emergency break-glass release. This is a life-safety requirement and we test it with the fire alarm at commissioning.
Can lost fobs be cancelled?
Yes, instantly. You delete the credential in the software and it stops working the next time it is presented. There are no locks to change and no cost, which is the main practical reason buildings move from keys to access control.
Can I answer the door entry from my phone?
Yes. App-connected panels forward the call to your mobile with video, so you can see who is there and release the door from anywhere with a signal. The panel-to-handset call still works on its own wiring if broadband drops.
