The short version
Biometric readers use a fingerprint, palm or face as the credential. Nothing can be handed over, lent out or left at home, which is why they are used where accountability matters most.
What decides this job in Dundee 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 Dundee applications
Laboratories, data rooms, pharmacies, cash handling areas, high-value stores and time-and-attendance applications.
- 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.
- Warehouses and depots — vehicle gate control, personnel doors and turnstiles on the pedestrian route.
Scope of works
- Anti-spoofing / liveness detection on supported models
- Time-and-attendance export where required
- Fingerprint, palm-vein or facial recognition readers
- Template data stored as a mathematical hash, never as an image
What to insist on
- Always specify a fallback credential for enrolment failures
- Mount at an accessible height and consider wheelchair users
- Check your UK GDPR position first — biometrics are special category data
From first call to handover
Nothing gets priced from a phone call. An engineer walks the doors, notes what is there, works out what has to change, and puts it in writing with the hardware named and the per-door cost shown. Free site survey, fixed written quotation, and no work starts until you have approved the price.
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.

Biometric Access Control in Dundee — questions
Do you install biometric access control in Dundee?
Yes. Dundee is part of our regular Scotland coverage and biometric access control 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 biometric access control cost in Dundee?
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 biometric access control legal in the UK?
It can be, but biometric data is special category data under UK GDPR. You need a lawful basis, a data protection impact assessment, and normally a genuine alternative for anyone who objects. We will flag this at survey rather than after install.
What happens if the reader can't read a finger?
A properly specified system always has a fallback — a fob, a PIN, or an intercom call to reception. Nobody should ever be locked out by a failed read.
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.
