- Fire-compliant locking and release on escape routes
- All makes installed, repaired and maintained
The short version
A door entry system lets someone at the entrance call you, and lets you release the door without walking to it. It is the simplest form of access control and the one most buildings start with.
What decides this job in Cornwall 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 Cornwall applications
Flats, offices, surgeries, nurseries and small commercial units with a single controlled entrance.
- 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.
Scope of works
- Power supply with battery backup so entry survives a short outage
- Surface or flush entrance panel, vandal-resistant stainless steel
- Audio or video handsets, wired or app-connected
What to insist on
- Flush panels look better but need a back box cut into the wall
- If the cable route is difficult, a wireless or app-based kit may cost less overall
- Check the panel is rated for the weather exposure at that entrance
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. Written quotation, clear scope, and a commissioning handover that includes the documentation you will be asked for later.
Handover includes a tested fire release, a loaded user list, as-fitted details and the commissioning record — the paperwork your fire risk assessor and insurer will eventually ask for.

Door Entry Systems in Cornwall — questions
Do you install door entry systems in Cornwall?
Yes. Cornwall is part of our regular England coverage and door entry 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 door entry systems cost in Cornwall?
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.
Can I keep my existing wiring?
Often yes. Many modern systems run on two-wire or existing risers, which avoids re-cabling a whole block. We test the existing pairs before quoting so the price you get is the price you pay.
Can I answer the door from my phone?
Yes. App-connected panels forward the call to your mobile, so you can see the caller and release the door whether you are upstairs or out.
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.
Do you cover my area?
We cover England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland through our installation network, with regional engineers rather than one central team. Tell us the postcode when you enquire and we will confirm coverage and realistic attendance times.
Is access control suitable for a block of flats?
It is one of the most common applications. A digital directory panel, per-flat handsets, resident fobs and a managed trades window replace the shared code and the endless label changes. The communal system is usually the freeholder or managing agent's responsibility.
