What Apartment Block Door Entry is
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 Leicestershire 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.
Who asks for it in Leicestershire
Blocks of flats, HMOs, retirement housing, student accommodation and managed residential developments.
- 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.
- 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.
What a proper install includes
- 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
Getting the specification right
- Agree who administers the system before handover, not after
- Plan for the riser: cable count decides whether video is viable
- A digital directory panel saves endless label changes as residents move
Survey, quote, install
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.
We commission before we leave: every door tested, every release proved with the fire alarm, users enrolled and someone on your side shown how to add and cancel a credential.

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