The short version
When a door entry system fails, people either can't get in or the building can't be secured. Repairs are about restoring both quickly, on whatever make is already installed.
What decides this job in Greater London is rarely the brand on the reader. It is the door leaf, the frame, the closer and the fire strategy — which is exactly why we survey before putting a number on anything.
Typical Greater London applications
Any building with a system that has stopped working, is intermittent, or was left half-finished by someone else.
- Schools and nurseries — controlled single points of entry, visitor management and safeguarding-aware layouts.
- Healthcare and care homes — step-free automated entry, staff-only zones and fail-safe escape routes.
- 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.
Scope of works
- Fault diagnosis on all major makes, not just what we sell
- Power supply, battery and lock failures — the most common causes
- Cable and riser fault tracing in occupied blocks
What to insist on
- Intermittent faults are usually power or water ingress, not the panel
- Ask for a repair-versus-replace comparison before authorising parts
- Keep the system documentation; its absence adds hours to any repair
From first call to handover
The survey covers every door in scope: leaf and frame condition, existing hardware, power and cable routes, and whether the opening sits on an escape route. That produces a fixed written price, broken down per door so it can be compared honestly against anyone else's. We survey, quote in writing, and only then book the install. No estimates over the phone that change on the day.
After install the system is commissioned, the fire interface is tested against the alarm, your users are loaded and the documentation is handed over on the day rather than chased later.

Access Control Repairs in Greater London — questions
Do you install access control repairs in Greater London?
Yes. Greater London is part of our regular England coverage and access control repairs 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 access control repairs cost in Greater London?
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.
Can you repair a system another company installed?
Yes. We work on all common makes, and we will tell you plainly if a system is genuinely beyond economic repair rather than quietly replacing it.
How quickly can someone attend?
Attendance depends on location and workload; a building left insecure or with residents locked out is prioritised. Tell us which it is when you call.
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.
