The short version
An audio intercom is a door phone: a call button outside, a handset inside, and a release button. No camera, no screen, far less to go wrong.
Most County Down 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.
Typical County Down applications
Yards, stores, workshops, back entrances and budget-conscious blocks where visual ID is not required.
- 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.
- Commercial premises — multi-door fob or card systems with access levels, time zones and a full audit trail.
Scope of works
- Trade release and timed unlock windows
- Weatherproof panel housings for exposed entrances
- Robust call panel with single or multi-button configuration
- Wall or desk handsets with door release
What to insist on
- Multi-button panels should be labelled behind a protective lens, not with stickers
- Check the maximum cable run for the system before committing
- A handset with a call-tone volume control avoids complaints in small offices
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.
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.

Audio Intercom Systems in County Down — questions
Do you install audio intercom systems in County Down?
Yes. County Down is part of our regular Northern Ireland coverage and audio intercom systems 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 audio intercom systems cost in County Down?
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.
Is audio-only still worth installing?
For a controlled rear entrance or a workshop, yes. It costs meaningfully less, it is reliable, and it can be upgraded to video later if you choose a modular panel.
How many flats can one panel serve?
Modular panels commonly scale to dozens of buttons, and above that a digital keypad panel with a directory is easier for callers to use.
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.
