Access control guide price tool

Four questions and you get a realistic budget range for your doors — before anyone visits, and before you speak to a salesperson.

1. How many doors need controlling?

Count every opening you want to lock, log or release electrically.

2. What type of system?

3. What locking is on the doors?

4. Anything else on the job?

Select any that apply — or none.

And the building type?

Turn the estimate into a fixed price

Send the figures through and an engineer will arrange a free survey. The written quotation that follows is fixed — the number you approve is the number you pay.

No obligation. We survey before quoting, and the written price is fixed.

How we arrived at these ranges

The ranges come from typical UK installed costs for each system type, adjusted for door count — the controller and software cost is shared once you pass a single door, so the per-door figure falls as the job grows. Extras such as fire interfacing are priced per door; gate, barrier and automatic door work is priced per entrance.

What the tool cannot see is the thing that moves the price most: the cable route. A door 6 metres from an existing panel is a different job from a door across a service yard in a listed building. That is what the survey is for, and it is free.

All figures are supply and install, excluding VAT, and are a budget guide rather than an offer. Nothing here forms a quotation.
