What Electric Locks & Maglocks is
The lock is the part that actually holds the door. Getting it right — and getting the fail-safe or fail-secure decision right — is the difference between a secure door and a dangerous one.
Across Anglesey the trigger is usually the same: a credential has gone missing and nobody can say where. Once that happens with a mechanical key, the only honest fix is changing locks and reissuing to everyone. Electronic credentials remove that problem entirely.
Who asks for it in Anglesey
Every access-controlled door, on every type of building.
- Blocks of flats — digital directory panels, per-flat handsets, resident fobs and a managed trades window.
- 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.
What a proper install includes
- Green break-glass emergency release on every maglocked exit
- Door closers and hold-open devices where required
- Magnetic locks from 280kg to 545kg holding force
- Electric strikes, solenoid bolts and motorised multi-point locks
Getting the specification right
- Glass doors need a specific bracket set; don't let anyone improvise one
- Fire escape doors almost always need fail-safe locking and free egress
- Maglocks need a rigid frame — a flexing UPVC door needs a different approach
Survey, quote, install
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. We survey, quote in writing, and only then book the install. No estimates over the phone that change on the day.
Once it is in, we test it door by door, prove the fire release with the alarm panel, enrol your users and hand over the records. Maintenance, if you want it, is a separate and optional arrangement.

Electric Locks & Maglocks in Anglesey — questions
Do you install electric locks & maglocks in Anglesey?
Yes. Anglesey is part of our regular Wales coverage and electric locks & maglocks 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 electric locks & maglocks cost in Anglesey?
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.
What is the difference between fail-safe and fail-secure?
A fail-safe lock releases when power is lost — used on escape routes. A fail-secure lock stays locked when power is lost — used where security must survive an outage. The fire strategy for the building decides which goes where.
Is a maglock legal on a fire exit?
Yes, when it is fail-safe, interfaced to the fire alarm, fitted with a green emergency break-glass release, and free egress is maintained. Fitted any other way it is a serious life-safety risk.
How long does an access control system take to install?
A single door is normally half a day to a day. A typical 8 to 12 door commercial system takes two to four days on site, followed by a commissioning visit to load users, set access levels and hand over. Larger sites are phased so the building stays secure throughout.
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.
