Door Entry Systems explained
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.
The Rutland 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.
Where it gets used across Rutland
Flats, offices, surgeries, nurseries and small commercial units with a single controlled entrance.
- 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.
What you actually get
- Electric strike or maglock with integral door release
- Trade button or timed access window for deliveries
- Power supply with battery backup so entry survives a short outage
- Surface or flush entrance panel, vandal-resistant stainless steel
Specifying it well
- Audio is cheaper; video pays for itself the first time you avoid opening to a stranger
- 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
How the job runs
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. Written quotation, clear scope, and a commissioning handover that includes the documentation you will be asked for later.
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.

Door Entry Systems in Rutland — questions
Do you install door entry systems in Rutland?
Yes. Rutland 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 Rutland?
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.
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.
