Door Entry Systems in Surrey
Looking for door entry systems in Surrey? We survey the doors first, then quote what the building needs — not a package off a price list.
- Free site survey, fixed written quotation, and no work starts until you have approved the price.
- We work across Surrey regularly, so attendance for both installation and callbacks is realistic rather than aspirational.
- 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.
Most Surrey 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 Surrey 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
- 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
What to insist on
- 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
From first call to handover
First a survey, then a written quote per door, then a booked date — in that order, with no pressure between the steps. Most of the cost variation between quotations comes down to cable routing, which is exactly what a survey exists to establish. Free site survey, fixed written quotation, and no work starts until you have approved the price.
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 Surrey — questions
Do you install door entry systems in Surrey?
Yes. Surrey 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 Surrey?
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.
