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.
What decides this job in Greater Manchester 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 Manchester applications
Blocks of flats, HMOs, retirement housing, student accommodation and managed residential developments.
- 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
- Bin store, bike store and car park doors on the same credential
- Digital directory panels so callers scroll rather than read tiny labels
- Per-flat audio or video handsets with app forwarding
- Fob access for residents with per-fob cancellation
What to insist on
- A digital directory panel saves endless label changes as residents move
- Per-resident fobs beat a shared code the moment someone moves out
- Agree who administers the system before handover, not after
From first call to handover
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. Written quotation, clear scope, and a commissioning handover that includes the documentation you will be asked for later.
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.

Apartment Block Door Entry in Greater Manchester — questions
Do you install apartment block door entry in Greater Manchester?
Yes. Greater Manchester 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 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.
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.
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.
