In plain terms
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.
Most Shropshire enquiries for this arrive after something went wrong — a break-in, a shared code that spread, or a door that was propped open for months. The system is the fix, but the survey is where it is decided properly.
Common Shropshire use cases
Blocks of flats, HMOs, retirement housing, student accommodation and managed residential developments.
- 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.
What the price covers
- Managed trades access with a timed window, not a permanent code
- Bin store, bike store and car park doors on the same credential
- Digital directory panels so callers scroll rather than read tiny labels
Avoiding the usual mistakes
- 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
The process
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. Fixed-price quotations after survey — the figure you approve is the figure you pay.
Commissioning is part of the job, not an extra visit. You finish with a working system, a tested fire interface, and a named person on your team who knows how to administer it.

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