- Fire-compliant locking and release on escape routes
- All makes installed, repaired and maintained
The short version
Multi-occupancy door entry connects every flat to the communal entrance, manages trades access, and gives the managing agent a system they can actually administer.
The Cheshire 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 Cheshire applications
Blocks of flats, HMOs, retirement housing, student accommodation and managed residential developments.
- 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.
- Retrofit and repair — fault-finding on all common makes, with honest repair-versus-replace numbers.
Scope of works
- Per-flat audio or video handsets with app forwarding
- Fob access for residents with per-fob cancellation
- Managed trades access with a timed window, not a permanent code
- Bin store, bike store and car park doors on the same credential
What to insist on
- Per-resident fobs beat a shared code the moment someone moves out
- Agree who administers the system before handover, not after
- Plan for the riser: cable count decides whether video is viable
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.

Apartment Block Door Entry in Cheshire — questions
Do you install apartment block door entry in Cheshire?
Yes. Cheshire is part of our regular England coverage and apartment block door entry 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 apartment block door entry cost in Cheshire?
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.
Who is responsible for door entry in a block of flats?
Communal entrance systems are normally the freeholder or managing agent's responsibility, with costs recovered through the service charge. Individual handsets inside a flat are often the leaseholder's.
Can we stop residents propping the main door open?
Door-forced and door-held-open alarms report it, and a door closer with the right power rating removes most of the temptation. Reporting plus a notice usually fixes the behaviour.
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.
Do you cover my area?
We cover England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland through our installation network, with regional engineers rather than one central team. Tell us the postcode when you enquire and we will confirm coverage and realistic attendance times.
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.
