What it does
A maintenance contract keeps doors, locks, batteries and releases working, and keeps the audit records in a state your insurer and fire risk assessor will accept.
Most Greater Manchester enquiries for this arrive after something went wrong — a break-in, a shared code that spread, or a door that was propped open for months. The system is the fix, but the survey is where it is decided properly.
Who we install it for in Greater Manchester
Commercial premises, managed blocks, schools and any site where a failed door is a real operational problem.
- Retrofit and repair — fault-finding on all common makes, with honest repair-versus-replace numbers.

Included as standard
- Scheduled inspection of every controlled door
- Battery, power supply and lock hardware testing
- Fire interface and emergency release verification
Questions worth asking any installer
- Insist the fire release is tested at every visit, not annually
- Get the user list reviewed — dormant credentials accumulate fast
- Agree the response time in the contract, not on the phone
How we deliver it
An engineer attends the site, checks each opening, confirms the cable route and establishes how the fire strategy affects the locking. You get a written quotation itemised per door with the hardware named. Nothing is ordered until you approve it. Fixed-price quotations after survey — the figure you approve is the figure you pay.
Once it is in, we test it door by door, prove the fire release with the alarm panel, enrol your users and hand over the records. Maintenance, if you want it, is a separate and optional arrangement.

Maintenance & Servicing in Greater Manchester — questions
Do you install maintenance & servicing in Greater Manchester?
Yes. Greater Manchester is part of our regular England coverage and maintenance & servicing is one of our core services. Give us the postcode and the number of doors when you enquire and we will confirm a survey slot.
What does maintenance & servicing cost in Greater Manchester?
Pricing is driven by door count and hardware rather than county. As a guide, a single controlled door lands between £750 and £1,500 installed, with multi-door sites working out at £600 to £1,100 per door. The survey is free and the written quote is fixed.
How often should access control be serviced?
Once or twice a year suits most commercial sites, with high-traffic entrances and automatic doors on the more frequent schedule. Fire-interfaced doors should be function-tested at every visit.
What does a service visit actually include?
Door-by-door inspection, lock and release testing, fire interface verification, battery and power checks, software and user-list review, and a written report you can hand to your assessor.
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.
