In plain terms
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 County Down 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.
Common County Down use cases
Every access-controlled door, on every type of building.
- Commercial premises — multi-door fob or card systems with access levels, time zones and a full audit trail.
- 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.
What the price covers
- 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
Avoiding the usual mistakes
- 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
The process
An engineer attends the site, checks each opening, confirms the cable route and establishes how the fire strategy affects the locking. You get a written quotation itemised per door with the hardware named. Nothing is ordered until you approve it. Fixed-price quotations after survey — the figure you approve is the figure you pay.
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 County Down — questions
Do you install electric locks & maglocks in County Down?
Yes. County Down is part of our regular Northern Ireland 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 County Down?
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.
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.
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.
