- All makes installed, repaired and maintained
The short version
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.
The Somerset sites we fit this on are rarely starting from nothing. There is normally something already on the door, working badly or not at all, and the first real question is whether it is worth keeping.
Typical Somerset applications
Commercial premises, managed blocks, schools and any site where a failed door is a real operational problem.
- Warehouses and depots — vehicle gate control, personnel doors and turnstiles on the pedestrian route.
- Retail and hospitality — back-of-house control, cash-office restriction and CCTV-linked door events.
- Commercial premises — multi-door fob or card systems with access levels, time zones and a full audit trail.
- Blocks of flats — digital directory panels, per-flat handsets, resident fobs and a managed trades window.
Scope of works
- Battery, power supply and lock hardware testing
- Fire interface and emergency release verification
- Software updates, user list review and credential audit
- Written service report retained for compliance
What to insist on
- Agree the response time in the contract, not on the phone
- Batteries are the most common preventable failure; replace on schedule
- Insist the fire release is tested at every visit, not annually
From first call to handover
We look at the doors before we price them. That means measuring cable runs properly, checking whether the frame will take a maglock, and confirming with your fire documentation which openings must fail safe. The quotation that follows is fixed. Fixed-price quotations after survey — the figure you approve is the figure you pay.
Handover includes a tested fire release, a loaded user list, as-fitted details and the commissioning record — the paperwork your fire risk assessor and insurer will eventually ask for.

Maintenance & Servicing in Somerset — questions
Do you install maintenance & servicing in Somerset?
Yes. Somerset 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 Somerset?
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.
What maintenance does an access control system need?
One or two service visits a year for most commercial sites. Each visit should cover door-by-door inspection, lock and release testing, fire interface verification, battery and power checks, and a user-list review, with a written report you can give your fire risk assessor.
Can access control be linked to CCTV?
Yes, where both systems support a common integration. Every door event gets a matching video bookmark, so instead of scrubbing hours of footage you click the event and watch it. We check compatibility at survey before anything is ordered.
How much does access control installation cost in the UK?
A single controlled door with a reader, lock and controller typically costs between £750 and £1,500 installed. Multi-door systems usually work out between £600 and £1,100 per door, because the controller and software cost is shared across the doors. Door hardware, cable runs and any fire alarm interfacing move the figure most, which is why we survey before quoting rather than pricing blind.
