What it does
An access control system replaces mechanical keys with electronic credentials. Each door gets a reader, a lock and a controller, and a central system decides who may open which door and when. Lose a fob and you cancel it in seconds instead of rekeying the building.
In Renfrewshire this tends to be specified in one of two situations: a new fit-out where it can be designed in cleanly, or a retrofit where cable routes and existing door hardware dictate half the answer. Both are routine for us; they are just priced differently.
Who we install it for in Renfrewshire
Offices, schools, warehouses, healthcare sites, gyms, managed blocks and any building where more than a handful of people need different levels of access.
- 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.
- Gated and yard sites — gate intercoms, long-range readers, barriers and ANPR for permit holders.
Included as standard
- Time zones, access levels and anti-passback configured to your rules
- Full audit trail of every grant, denial and door-forced event
- Controllers wired back to a central panel or distributed door-by-door
- Cat5e/Cat6 structured cabling with a dedicated power supply and standby battery
Questions worth asking any installer
- Check whether you need integration with fire, CCTV, lifts or HR systems
- Plan for growth: a controller with spare door capacity is cheaper than a second panel
- Count your doors first — cost scales per door, not per building
How we deliver it
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. Free site survey, fixed written quotation, and no work starts until you have approved the price.
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.

Access Control Systems in Renfrewshire — questions
Do you install access control systems in Renfrewshire?

What does access control systems cost in Renfrewshire?
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 much does an access control system cost?
As a guide, a single door with a reader, maglock and controller typically lands between £750 and £1,500 installed, and multi-door systems usually work out between £600 and £1,100 per door as the controller cost is shared. Cabling distance, door hardware and software licensing move the figure most.
How long does installation take?
A single door is normally a half-day to a day. A typical 8–12 door commercial system takes two to four days on site, plus a commissioning visit to load users and hand over.
Is access control suitable for a block of flats?
It is one of the most common applications. A digital directory panel, per-flat handsets, resident fobs and a managed trades window replace the shared code and the endless label changes. The communal system is usually the freeholder or managing agent's responsibility.
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.
